Mainly white blood cells (WBC), which are also called leukocytes; plus antibodies and biochemicals of the immune system will also increase when an infection occurs. An infection is basically an invasion of a microorganism. This could be bacteria, fungi, virus or other pathogens. When an infection occurs: -White blood cells are released from various lymphatic tissues such as the spleen or lymph nodes, or mucosal associated lymphatic tissues, such as the tonsils, into the bloodstream. The main function of these WBCs, depending on their type, is to engulf pathogens, detoxify poisons, produce and release antibodies and chemicals, and clean up wastes left by other WBCs. When an infection occurs, the blood supply is increased to the affected areas. As the Red Blood cells rush to the site of infection, it causes the skin to become red , swollen, and painful. When the White blood cells multiply and then die during their attack on the pathogens, they decay and form a thick white fluid known as pus.
What else can I help you with?
The number of eosinophils increases dramatically during?
allergic reactions, asthma, and parasitic infections. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response against these conditions.
What is the total number of cells in an organism increases as a result of which process?
cell division
What is the total number of cells in an organism increases as result of which process?
cell division
What happens to the number of white blood cells when you get a disease?
The number of white blood cells typically increases when you have an infection or disease. This is because white blood cells are a critical part of the immune system's response to pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria. The increase in white blood cells helps the body fight off the infection.
During cell division the number of cells increase by?
Each cell splits into two halves. Therefore, each cell division increases by two - or is said to double each time.
Would the invasion of a cell by viruses increase decrease or have no effect on the osmolarity of a cell?
The invasion of a cell by viruses increases the cell's osmolarity. This occurs because the viruses act like any other particle. As the number of viruses increases, the number of particles in the cells increases as well. This increased particle number gives the cells an increased osmolarity that could eventually lead to cellular lysis.
What increases when a cell divides intovtwo smaller cells?
Their number

What cell type increases in number during prolonged infections?
White blood cells generally increases during infections.
Can you give me Shilpa Anand's cell number?
Even if we had it, we could not give it out. That would be an invasion of her privacy and a violation of Wikianswers rules.
What happens to a cells surface as a volume ratio as a cell gets bigger?
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
During cell division the number of cells increase by?
Each cell splits into two halves. Therefore, each cell division increases by two - or is said to double each time.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes, as cell surface area increases, the cell volume increases at a faster rate. This is because the surface area to volume ratio decreases as the cell grows larger, which can affect the efficiency of nutrient uptake and waste removal within the cell.
What increases when a cell divides into two smaller cells?
During cell division, the number of chromosomes remains the same in each daughter cell. The cell's organelles, such as the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, are duplicated to ensure both daughter cells receive a full set. Additionally, the cell's cytoplasm is divided evenly between the two daughter cells to ensure they have the necessary resources to function.
