• The liquid component of blood is plasma.
• Blood components that have formed are erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.
• The erythrocytes are the red blood cells.
• Eosinophils are white blood cells with eosin-stainable granules. Infections, inflammation, and allergies are all caused by them.
• Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that engulfs invading pathogens and aids the body’s non-specific anti-disease defenses.
• Infection is fought by white blood cells (WBCs) and white blood cells (leukocytes).
• Circulating leukocytes that produce histamine are called basophils.
• Lymphocytes are white blood cells that are part of the body’s immune system. There are two types of lymphocytes: T lymphocytes are lymphocytes that originate in the thymus and other lymphatic tissues and are capable of destroying cancer cells, viruses, and foreign substances. B lymphocytes are white blood cells that develop in the bone marrow and release antibodies to fight germs.
