What are the 2 types of white blood cells?

Answer 1

1. Lymphocytes - Function produce antibodies

2. monocytes - can engulf Large objects.

3. Eosinophils: Weakly Phagocytic but can kill certain parasites.

4. Basophils- Can release heparin (prevent clotting) or Histamine (Blood flow to injured tissues.)

5. Neutropils can only ingest small, bacteria size particles

6. Diapedesis: Leukocytes can squeeze between cells and leave the circulation

7. Phagocytize bacteria - Produce proteins that destroy foreign particles (antibodies)

8. Lymphocytes- can produce anitbodies

Answer 2

Here are types of white blood cells each has a specific function.

Neutrophil: engulf foreign invaders

Eosinophil: involved in a Asthma attacks, and allergic reaction.

Basophil: Release histamine and serotonin during allergic reaction. Also enhance inflammation.

Monocytes: Macrophages that function in immune function.

Lymphocyte: Secrete antibodies for resistance to infection.

Answer 3

Granulocytes:

- they have granules visible in cytoplasm and a complex lobed nucleus

- Some examples are: basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils

Agranulocytes:

- they do not have granules in the cytoplasm, so it is clear, and a similar-shaped nucleus

- Some examples are: lymphocytes and monocytes

Answer 4

Neutrophils,Basophils,Eosinophils are granulated white blood cells known as granulocytes.

Monocytes and Lymphocytes are Agranulocytes:white blood cells without granules in it's cytoplasm.

Answer 5

There are actually 2 different ways to divide white blood cells into 2 categories:

1. By strucutre: granulocytes or agranulocytes. Granulocytes (also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes, aka PMN, PML, or PMNL) have granules in their cytoplasm. These granules aid the body in fighting diseases. They may secrete chemicals that fight disease or even be released to bind with pathogens and help the body cleans them from the body. Agranulocytes have no granules. The generate antibodies, co-ordinate the immune response, and kill cells that are infected by a virus.
2. By where they originate: myeloid cells or lymphoid cells. Myeloid cells are young cells that develop into a mature granulocyte oof blood, but frequently the term is used a s a synonym for a marrow cell, i.e. being generated in the marrow. Lymphoid cells are lymphocytes and plasma cells, particularly cells of the immune system that react specifically with antigen and elaborate specific cell products. They are distributed through the body in lymphatic tissues where they are formed.

Answer 6

There are five types of white blood cell * neutrophils 40 - 75 % * eosinophils 5 % * basophils 0.5 % * lymphocytes 20 - 50 % * monocytes 1 - 5 %

Answer 7

lymphocytes: produce antibodies and identify pathogens

phagocyes: phagocytose/digest pathogens

Answer 8

There are five different types of white blood cells, neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils. Each type has a slighty different role in fighting against infections.

Answer 9

Granulocytes and Agranulocytes
