What are the three basic blood cells?
The three basic blood cells are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen, white blood cells are involved in the immune system and fighting infections, while platelets help with blood clotting.
What is the four components of blood?
The four components of blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, platelets aid in blood clotting, and plasma is the liquid portion of blood that carries nutrients and hormones.
What is the difference between thymus and bone maarrow?
Your bone marrow is an area inside your bone that produces red and white blood cells. Your red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Your white cells fight infection. Your thymus is a gland in your body. It does additional processing on a number of white blood cells. (Lymph glands do additional processing on others.) The thymus is extremely important so that a baby and a child can develop a good immune system. An old adult can do without a thymus. Bone marrow remains important all your life. If you stop producing red and white blood cells, you will be dead within a few weeks.
What does the MARROW produce?
The marrow produces blood cells in the body, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Compare white blood cells with red blood cells?
White blood cells are part of the immune system, defending the body against infections and diseases, while red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues throughout the body. White blood cells can move independently, whereas red blood cells circulate in the blood vessels. White blood cells are less numerous than red blood cells in the bloodstream.
Which gland produces white blood cells?
Liver
What hormone helps with the maturing of white blood cells?
The hormone that helps with the maturing of white blood cells is called colony-stimulating factor (CSF). CSF is responsible for stimulating the production and maturation of white blood cells in the bone marrow.
What gland makes new white blood cells?
The Bone Morrow
What organ destroys old red cells and stores white blood cells?
Your spleen destroys old red blood cells and stores white blood cells. It is part of your lymphatic system and is found in your abdomen.
What promotes production and maturation of white blood cells?
The thymus gland, it promotes the maturation of T-cells.
An organ which stores white blood cells?
Lymph glands stores WBC
What glands produce white blood cells?
White blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, which is a spongy tissue found inside bones. The bone marrow produces various types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
What gland helps white blood cells mature?
It is the Thymus Gland.
An organ which stores disease - fighting white blood cells?
trachea
What gland pumps white blood cells into the lymphatic system until puberty then shrivels away?
Thymus
What produces various types of blood cells?
All blood cells originate in the bone marrow. Some of the white blood cells mature in or are stored in other tissues (e.g. thymus gland, spleen) after leaving the bone marrow.
What part of the blood fight germs?
The white blood cells
