|
|
Neutrophil |
Normal range: 50-70% Responds to bacteria |
|
|
Eosinophil |
Normal range: 3% Responds to allergies and pathogens such as worms |
|
|
Basophil |
Normal range: less than 1% Monitors "unneeded" clots Releases histamine and heparin |
|
|
Monocytes |

|
|
Lymphocytes |
Normal range: 20-40% Respond to bacteria and viruses |
