Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 13WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The type of leukocyte that might increase in number if a person develop “strep throat”.
Concept introduction:
Blood consists of two elements - formed elements and plasma. Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets are the formed elements of blood. Leukocytes are the defending cells of body, which protects body against a pathogen entry. Leukocytes do not have hemoglobin pigments, but have a nucleus and other cell organelles.
