White blood cells are cells are highly specialized cells that help the body fight bacteria, and infections. They have several types, but the most common two are lymphocytes and neutrophils. The job of the neutrophils are to defend the body against any infections or bacteria. Even though they are found in the blood stream, it's mostly in the tissue where they fight bacteria and infections. White blood cells travel from the blood vessels, to the tissue that is infected. They have a nucleus and therefore can create their own protein and RNA. Having a low number of neutrophil white blood cells in a body greatly increases the chance of a bacterial infection.

The image is rather unique, and the post has some good points, learned much about white blood cells.
ReplyDeleteWow, I honestly didn't know that there were two types of white blood cells in the bloodstream to combat infection. Thanks Eric!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that there are two types of white blood cells. This was very informative!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that neutrophils are mainly fighting infection in the tissues. I thought that neutrophils were almost completely limited to the blood vessels! Thanks for sharing.
