In any given 3mm of blood what is the approximate ratio of the number of red blood cells erythocites to white blood cells leukocytes?
There are about a thousand times as many red blood cells as white cells. Consider that the red blood cells (or erythrocytes) in a mm3 (or microliter) of blood number about five million in an average man (a few less in a woman). The white blood cells (or leukocytes) number only 5-6 thousand per mm3 so the ratio is about a thousand fold.
How many white blood cells in 1 drop of blood?
White blood cells are the largest of the blood cells but also the fewest. There are only 5000 to 10,000 white blood cells per microliter. There are several different types of white cells but all are related to immunity and fighting infection. On average there are 50 microliters in one drop of blood. There are 250,000 to 500,000 white blood cells per drop of blood.
What are your white blood cells supposed to do?
White blood cells are a vital part of the immune system and play a key role in fighting infections and diseases. They work by detecting and destroying pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances in the body.
How many red blood cells are in a liter?
There are approximately 5 million red blood cells in a microliter of blood. Therefore, there would be 5 billion red blood cells in a liter of blood.
What are 5 white blood cells?
basophilic cell neurophilic cell eosinophilic cell monocyt leukocyt (I am not sure if these are the correct english terms)
What is the approximate ratio of red blood cells to white?
in 1cm3 of blood, there are 5 000 000 000 red blood cells and 8 000 000 white blood cells. so- 5000:8.
Do you have more red blood cells or white blood cells in your body?
You have more red blood cells in your body than white because white blood cells only tend to produce when your body is under pressure by pressure I mean an illness . Plus for each tiny drop of blood we have there are over 5 million red blood cells in side :)
What or the 5 main components of blood?
The five main components of blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma, and serum. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, platelets help with blood clotting, plasma is the liquid part of blood, and serum is plasma without clotting factors.

What is normal white blood count urine?
A normal white blood cell count in urine is typically less than 5-10 white blood cells per high power field under a microscope. Elevated white blood cells in urine may indicate an infection or inflammation in the urinary tract.
What is blood short answer?
Blood is a liquid connective tissue composed of cells and an extracellular matrix. The matrix being the plasma and the cells being erythrocytes (red blood cells), platelets, and 5 types of leukocyte (white blood cells).
Four ways that white blood cells are different from red blood cells?
* Red blood cells do not have a nucleus (to save space and allow for higher amounts of haemoglobin), whereas white bloody cells do. * White blood cells protect the body from diseases (either by digesting the 'problem' or by emission of antibodies), whereas red blood cells are simply a means of transporting oxygen and other gases. * Red blood cells tend to have a life span of about 4 months, while white blood cells have a lower life span (which varies between the types of white blood cell). * Red blood cells are smaller than white bloody cells. * Red blood cells have a much higher density within the bloodstream (at 4,000,000-6,000,000 /mm3) than white blood cells (5000-7000 /mm3). ..... I hope this helps :] most of it is probably waffle... (i know i put 5)

Where does white blood cell produce in the body?
WHITE BLOOD CELLSThere are five main types of White Blood CellWhite blood cells use the blood as a means of transport from their origination in the bone marrow to their major sites of activity. The majority of the functions of the white blood cells occur when they leave the blood circulation to enter other body tissues. There are five types of white blood cellneutrophils 40 - 75 %eosinophils 5 %basophils 0.5 %lymphocytes 20 - 50 %monocytes 1 - 5 %The figures show the relative proportions of the different types of white blood cell. The reason for the range of figures shown is that the requirement for different types of white blood cell will vary from time to time.Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are collectively known as granulocytes due to prominent granules in their cytoplasm.Lymphocytes and monocytes are classed as white blood cells because they are a constituent of blood and ultimately originate from the bone marrow. However they are mainly found in structures such as the lymph nodes and the spleen
When microscope slides are stained to show blood cells the small red blood cells that appear on the slides are much more numerous than the large white blood cells. this supports the concept that?
The concept of having a normal blood. Red blood cells as compared to the white blood cells are really more numerous. Normally, human blood contains about 3.6 to 6.2 x 1012/L red blood cells while while blood cells only reaches 5-10 x109/L.
