Study Notes
White Blood Cell Overview
- The reference interval for white blood cell count typically ranges from 4,500 to 11,000 cells per microliter of blood.
- Not all cells in the blood are types of white blood cells; one example of a non-white blood cell is a red blood cell (erythrocyte).
Types of White Blood Cells
- Neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell, play a crucial role in defending the body against bacterial and viral infections.
- Other types of white blood cells include lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, each serving specific functions in the immune response.
White Blood Cell Production
- The process of white blood cell production is known as leukopoiesis.
- It occurs in the bone marrow, where stem cells differentiate into the various types of white blood cells.
Hematology Reference
- Chapter 6 of Rodak's Hematology, 6th Edition specifically addresses leukocyte development, kinetics, and functions, providing detailed insights into white blood cell biology.
