Summary
This document provides an overview of leukocytes, their synthesis, function, and disorders. It details different types of leukocytes like neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes, their roles in the immune system, and related disorders. Included concepts are leukocyte synthesis (leukopoiesis), function of leukocytes, and leukocytes disorders.

Leukocytes Whit blood cells Granulocytes A granulocytes Neutrophil Eosinophil Basophil Lymphocytes Monocyte Leukocyte synthesis (Leukopoiesis) Granulocytes and monocytes are produced in the bone marrow from myeloid stem cells known as myoblasts and monoblasts, respectively. Lymphocytes originate from a lymphoid stem cell, known as a lymphoblast, (differentiation in lymph tissue, such as lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and various lymphoid clusters, Thymus). Function of Leukocytes The WBCs serve as a defense mechanism against: 1. Bacterial infection 2. Viral infection 3. Parasitic infection 4. Foreign proteins to the body. 5. Transplanted organs Jstzedi Neutrophils e The first line of defense (Neutrophilia- Acute bacterial infection) Are motile cells (amoeboid movement).

Thrombopoietin: major regulator of platelet production (produced by liver and kidney). 9 The cytoplasm contains: Contractile proteins: (Actin & myosin).
