    Study Notes

    Blood Cell Production

    • All types of blood cells originate from stem cells located in the bone marrow.
    • Blood cells include leukocytes (white blood cells) and erythrocytes (red blood cells).
    • Leukocytes play a vital role in protecting tissues by engulfing pathogens through phagocytosis.

    Manual WBC’s Count

    • The counting procedure involves a grid system comprising 4 large corner squares.
    • Each large square contains 16 smaller secondary squares, used for leukocyte counting.
    • The primary central square is designated for red blood cell (RBC) counting and consists of 25 secondary squares.
    • Each of the 25 squares is further divided into 16 tertiary (smallest) squares for detailed analysis.

    Calculation of Counted Volume

    • Total volume is calculated as:
      • Volume = width x length x depth x number of large squares
      • Example: (1mm x 1mm x 1/10mm) x 4 = 0.4 mm³
    • Volume Correction Factor (VCF) is derived from:
      • VCF = 1 mm³ / counted volume
      • Example calculation: 1 / 0.4 = 2.5

    Importance of Accurate Counting

    • Accurate manual WBC counts are essential for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions.
    • Understanding counting techniques can enhance laboratory competency and result reliability.
