Is blood cells eukaryotic cells?
Yes, blood cells are eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are characterized by having a nucleus enclosed within a membrane, as well as membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, all have these characteristics, making them eukaryotic cells.
What is the differences between bacteria and white blood cells?
1. Bacteria have a single, circular chromosome. White blood cells have many, (more-or-less) linear chromosomes. (Exact number depends on species.) 2. The bacterial chromosome is loose within the cell. In white blood cells (and other eukaryotic cells), the chromosomes are contained within the neucleus. 3. Bacteria do not (generally) contain organelles. (Although some may contain gas vesicles or simple nutrient storage structures.) 4. Bacterial ribosomes are smaller than eukaryotic ribosomes. (70S vs. 80S) 5. Bacteria have a cell wall, white blood cells do not. 6. Depending on the type of bacteria they may or may not photosynthesize (eg. cyanobacteria). White blood cells never photosynthesize. 7. Some bacteria may have cilia and/or flagella. 8. A bacterium is a complete organism all on its own. A white blood cell is part of a much larger organism. 9. Bacteria reproduce via "binary fission" or "budding", white blood cells replicate via mitosis.
Which is the most common type of white blood cell?
The most common type of white blood cell is the neutrophil, making up about 55-70% of total white blood cells. Neutrophils are important for fighting bacterial infections through a process called phagocytosis, where they engulf and destroy pathogens.
Is the color red really the color of blood?
By most mammals it's red. The blue color of the veins can be explained by the fact that you see your veins through your skin, your skin works like a sort of color filter, but the blood is always red
Which human cells never have 23 pairs of chromosomes?
Human sex cells which only have a haploid number of chromosomes. 23 total chromosomes. Red blood cells have no chromosomes also.
Which of the formed elements in the blood are not white blood cells?
Thrombocytes, or platelets, are the formed elements of the blood that aren't and never were true cells. They are cell fragments. The erythrocytes (red blood cells) are originally cells with a typical nucleus, but they lose the nucleus in the process of development.
How does acute leukemia starts?
It starts in the bone marrow. It i s immature white blood cells that never mature into regular functioning white blood cells. The immature cells keep dividing at a rapid rate and as soon as the bone marrow gets too crowded they spill out into the blood stream.
What happens when red cells takes over white cells?
When red blood cells outnumber white blood cells, it can lead to anemia due to a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This imbalance can result in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and paleness. It is important to identify the underlying cause and seek appropriate medical treatment.
If you only smoke 20 cigarettes on a weekend will that age you?
Life ages you! If you don't smoke 20 on a weekend does that mean you stay the same age?! No. Your whole lifestyle determines the rate at which your body deteriorates. One thing not many people know about smoking is the smoke affects your white blood cells which is basically your immunity. Red blood cells are made and renewed all the time and you will never be short of healthy red blood cells but not white cells-once the smoke gets into a white blood cell it will stay there until the day you die. So imagine how many white cells you fill with smoke each time you smoke just one cigarette. Now times that by twenty, then times it by the weekends this year you have smoked and times that by the years you have smoked. You will find it is a high number and all the crap from the cigarette you have put inside you will stay inside you and you will never never get rid of it. So even if you never smoked again and you were still young, all those you have smoked have caused permanent damage to your white blood cells and they can never ever be fixed or replaced. </P>
How long do cells last?
They last your whole life (not true) red blood cells: die and are made evry 3 weeks white blood cell: you never get more than you have brain cells: you can get any more (if you inhale carbon dinoxid some of the brain cells die, so do do it!)

What bacteria cause a high white blood cell count?
Yes, infections can cause low or elevated white blood cells. Viral infections often cause low white blood cell counts. Also, very serious bacterial infections that overwhelm the immune system can cause it as well.

What happens to the oxygen after the erythrocytes are pumped into cells?
Nothing as erythrocytes (i.e. red blood cells) are never"pumped into cells". They stay inside the blood vessels, circulating around and around.
What is the medical term meaning cancer of the white blood cells?
The short, technically correct but not very helpful answer is that you have "leukocytosis", but that is just the medical name for the condition of having a high WBC! In terms of significance, there are a great many things that can cause an elevated WBC, which is why this lab finding is never used all by itself to diagnose something, it's always combined with other clinical and lab findings. In a patient with high WBC and fever, you suspect infection. Among the most concerning possible causes of high WBC are leukemia and lymphoma. Other causes include steroid use, Cushing's syndrome, type II diabetes, trauma, seizures, burns, and others. Having a high WBC (unless it is really incredibly high) is not dangerous in and of itself; it's concerning if there is suspicious of a dangerous condition that may be causing the high WBC. With an increased white count, if there are bands, this means all the mature cells have been used to fight infection and there is an increase of immature cells trying to fight the infection. An increase is not always a sign of infection. An elevation can occur with almost any assault to the body, such as trauma. An increase in white blood cells in a "complete blood count or CBC" usually means there is an infection in the body. The severity of the infection depends on how high above normal the white count is and the severity of the accompanying symptoms.
How can you boost white blood cells?
they keep us healthy by destroying any microbes or foreign bodies that enter our bodies. white blood cells produce antibodies which either make the microbes stick together-making it easier for the blood cells to surround the disease- or destroy the disease directly
