There are several types of white blood cells (leukocytes.) The 3 main groups are granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes. There are 3 types of granulocytes; neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. There are 2 main types of lymphocytes; B cells and T cells. There are 4 types of T cells; cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells, suppressor T cells, and natural killer cells.
The spleen is the organ that can store white blood cells.
White blood cells are not actually white; they appear white under a microscope due to the way they are stained for observation. The name "white blood cells" comes from the fact that they are cells that do not contain hemoglobin, unlike red blood cells which carry oxygen and give blood its red color.
Blood cells are made in the bone marrow, which is located in the center of bones such as the hip, spine, and ribs. Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are produced in the bone marrow. Additionally, during fetal development, blood cells are also made in the liver.
The four main types of cells in the human body are red blood cells, white blood cells, nerve cells (neurons), and epithelial cells. Each of these cell types plays a critical role in the functioning of the body.
All white blood cells are produced from the hematopoietic stem cells that reside in the bone marrow. Some white blood cells, however, do not mature in the bone marrow but are transported to the thymus for maturation. These cells are collectively known as T (for thymus) cells and include helper (CD4+), cytotoxic (CD8+), regulatory (Cd4+/Foxp3+) and other types of T cells.
Another name for white blood cells are " Lymphnoytes"
Another name for white blood cells are " Lymphnoytes"
The scientific name for white blood cells is leukocytes.
There are various types of white blood cells that are responsible for various functions within your body. White blood cells themselves are known as "leukocytes".The different types are: neutrophils, basophils, esinophils, macrophages, lymphocytes.Neutrophils -- bacteria and fungiEosinophils -- allergic reactions, and parasitesBasophils -- allergic reactionsLymphocytes -- pathogens, helper cells, infantryMacrophages -- helps with the infantry and cleaning.
Red blood cells- erythrocytes White blood cells- leukocytes
General name for all white blood cells is leucocytes.
red blood cells, white blood cells and the plasma
Erythrocytes; abbreviated RBC's. The scientific name for red blood cells is Erythrocytes. {I'm 13 and I know this}: Red blood cells = Erythrocytes; White blood cells = Leukocytes; Platelets = Thrombocytes; and Plasma = Plasma - there are several types.
Red cells = erythrocytes White cells = leukocytes
The spleen is the organ that can store white blood cells.
Immature cell types released into the blood circulation are called "blast cells." These are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to develop into various types of mature blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. The presence of blast cells in the blood may indicate abnormal cell development, as seen in conditions like leukemia.
White blood cells are not actually white; they appear white under a microscope due to the way they are stained for observation. The name "white blood cells" comes from the fact that they are cells that do not contain hemoglobin, unlike red blood cells which carry oxygen and give blood its red color.
