What does the mnemonic “Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas” represent?
|
The relative proportions of leukocytes in the blood, in descending order - Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils
|
|
|
What proportion of leukocytes do Neutrophils represent? What is their job?
|
40-70%
Phagocytize bacteria |
|
|
What proportion of leukocytes do Lymphocytes represent? What is their job?
|
20-49%
Produce antibodies, destroy viraly infected cells, and cancer cells |
|
|
What proportion of leukocytes do Monocytes represent? What is their job?
|
4-8%
Phagocytosis |
|
|
What proportion of leukocytes do Eosinophils represent? What is their job?
|
1-4%
Kill parasitic worms |
|
|
What proportion of leukocytes do Basophils represent? What is their job?
|
<1%

|
|
What is a "normal" concentration of Erythrocytes in the blood? What is their job?
|
4.5-5 million cells/mm^3
Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide |
|
|
What is a "normal" concentration of Platelets in the blood? What is their job?
|
250,000-500,000 cells/mm^3
Important for blood clotting |
|
|
What is Leukocytosis?
|
Leukocytosis is a raised white blood cell count (the leukocyte count) above the normal range in the blood
|
|
|
What is Leukopenia?
|
Leukopenia (also known as leukocytopenia, or leucopenia, from Greek λευκό-white and πενία-deficiency) is a decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) found in the blood, which places individuals at increased risk of infection.
|
|
|
What is Leukemia?
|
Leukemia (American English) or leukaemia (British English) is a type of cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells.
|
|
|
What is Polycythemia?
|
Polycythemia (also known as polycythaemia or erythrocytosis) is a disease state in which the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells increases. Blood volume proportions can be measured as hematocrit level.
|
|
|
What is Anemia?
|
Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells.
