Introduction:
Leukocyte is a class of blood cell that is designated with the task of providing immunity to the human body. There are total five divisions of leukocytes, which include lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. Out of these five leukocytes, lymphocytes originate from the lymphoid stem cell while the other cells arise from the myeloid stem cells.

- Figure 18.13 Are you able to recognize and identify the various formed elements? You will need to do this is a systematic manner, scanning along the image. The standard method is to use a grid, but this is not possible with this resource. Try constructing a simple table with each leukocyte type and then making a mark for each cell type you identify. Attempt to classify at least 50 and perhaps as many as 100 different cells. Based on the percentage of cells that you count, do the numbers represent a normal blood smear or does something appear to be abnormal?
