What happens when white blood cells die?

Answer 1

When red blood cells die, the hemoglobin within them is released and broken up: the iron in hemoglobin is salvaged, transported to the bone marrow by a protein called transferrin and used again in the production of new red blood cells; the remainder of the hemoglobin becomes a chemical called bilirubin that is excreted into the bile which is secreted into the intestine, where it gives the feces their characteristic yellow-brown color.

Answer 2

Nothing really affects the body in a major way. Cells are dying all the time and are being constantly replaced.

Skin cells leave the body through nails and by being eaten by the many, many microorganisms that live on our bodies.

Brain cells are irreplaceable.

Blood cells are created and destroyed in the mononuclear phagocyte system.

Answer 3

They are collected by the spleen and then sent to the liver. Since they have no nucleus they cannot reproduce, so the liver breaks them down into bilirubin which gets excreted from the body and gives feces its brownish color. Their average lifespan is 3-4 months.

Answer 4

When white blood cells die, they undergo a process known as apoptosis, where they self-destruct in a controlled manner. This helps prevent inflammation and damage to surrounding tissues. Dead white blood cells are then removed and broken down by other immune cells in the body.

Answer 5

When a cell dies a new cell is created and covers for the dead cell.

Answer 6

If you talking about white blood cell they will become puss

Answer 7

Because they feel the need to die, your immune system will dissolve and die

Answer 8

When cells die the proteins, lipids and sugars that make them up are broken down and recycled.
