Question

The term differential count measures the amount of each type of leukocyte in your blood. The normal range of leukocytes in circulating blood ranges from 4,500 to 11,000 cells per microliter, where 50–70% of these are ____________ , 20–40% are ____________ , 2–8% are ____________ , 1–4% are ____________ , and less than 1% are ____________ .

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. 50–70%- Neutrophils

2.  20–40%- Lymphocytes

3.  2–8% - Monocytes

4. 1–4%- Eosinophils

5. Less than 1%- Basophils

Explanation:

Blood is a specialized connective tissue which contains three types of formed elements- leukocytes (white blood cells), erythrocytes (red blood cells), and platelets.

Five types of leukocytes are present in the blood which play an important but distinct role in the human body mainly involved with the immune response.

These leukocytes include Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils which can be counted per microliter of blood through differential counting which shows that: 50-70% of blood leukocytes is accounted by the Neutrophils, 20–40% by Lymphocytes, 2–8% by Monocytes , 1–4% by Eosinophils   and  Less than 1% by Basophils.
