  1. Eosinophils --> Basophils --> Neutrophils

  2. Basophils --> Eosinophils --> Neutrophils

  3. Neutrophils --> Eosinophils --> Basophils

C Correct answer
Explanation

Percentage distribution of leukocyte are as follows:

Neutrophils- 60 - 70%
Lymphocytes- 20 - 30%
Monocytes- 2 - 8%
Eosinophils- 1 - 4%
Basophils- 0.5 - 1%
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Which blood cells of mammals are concerned with immunity?

  1. Young Erythrocytes

  2. Leucocytes

  3. Thrombocytes

  4. Matured Erythrocytes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Leucocytes or the white blood cells are concerned with immunity. They perform phagocytosis, antigen-presenting, the release of antibodies, release of cytokines, opsonization etc. to keep the immunity of the body against the pathogens. Erythrocytes or the red blood cells are responsible for the transportation of oxygen. Thrombocytes or the platelets are responsible for blood clotting.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Leucocytes'.

WBC is called as true cell because of

  1. Presence of nucleus

  2. Phagocytosis

  3. Polymorphism

  4. None of the above

A Correct answer
Explanation

The components of blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Of these, only white blood cells are true cells or complete cells as they have a nucleus, organelles and other cell structures and processes such as expressing proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Diapedesis means.

  1. Movement of the food in gut

  2. Formation of W.B.C.

  3. The process by which leucocytes squeeze through thin capillary wall

  4. Formation of R.B.C.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Diapedesis is the specific physiological process where white blood cells, particularly neutrophils, migrate through the endothelial walls of capillaries to reach sites of infection or tissue damage.

Increase in number of leukocytes beyond normal indicates

  1. Anaemia

  2. Infection

  3. Increased defence against pathogen

  4. Non-formation of RBC.

B Correct answer
Explanation

A high white blood cell(leukocyte) count isn't a specific disease, but it can indicate another problem, such as infection, stress, inflammation, trauma, allergy, or certain diseases. That's why a high white blood cell count usually requires further investigation.


So, the correct answer is 'Infection'.

Number of leucocytes present in one $mm^3$ of blood is

  1. 5000-8000

  2. 2000-3000

  3. 8000-13000

  4. 1 million to 1.5 million
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Leucocytes or white blood cells (WBCs) are colourless, nucleated and motile cells of blood.. Their normal count is 5000- 8000 cells per mm3 of blood. WBCs (White blood cells) can be granulocytes or agranulocytes.depending upon whether they have granules or not. Granular leucocytes or granulocytes are acidophils, basophils and neutrophils while agranular leucocytes or agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. All WBCs are capable of amoeboid movement with the help of which they are squeezed out of capillaries into the tissues.
So, the correct answer is '5000 - 8000'.

Which is correct about leucocytes?

  1. They are red coloured.

  2. They can cross capillaries.

  3. They are enucleate.

  4. Decrease in their number causes leukemia.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
A. Leucocytes are white blood cells (WBCs).
B. They are capable of amoeboid movement due to which they can cross or squeeze out of the capillaries into tissues and this process is known as diapedesis.
C. They are nucleated i.e. they have a nucleus.
D. Increase in their number cause leukemia which is cancer of WBCs.
Hence, only statement B is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'They can cross capillaries'.

Which one are granulocytes?

  1. Neutrophils, basophils, lymphocytes

  2. Eosinophils, basophils, monocytes

  3. Basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes

  4. Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

WBCs (White blood cells) can be granulocytes or agranulocytes.
Granulocytes are of three types:
  • Eosinophils: These cells play important role in immunity and allergic reactions. These make about 1 - 5% of total leucocytes.
  • Basophils: These cells contain heparin, serotonin and histamine. These make about 0.5 - 2.7% of total leucocytes.
  • Neutrophils: These cells perform phagocytosis and also destroy bacteria. These make about 60 - 70% of total leucocytes.
Agranulocytes are of two types:
  • Lymphocytes: These cells are of two types, B lymphocytes that maintain humoral immunity and T lymphocytes which maintain cell mediated immunity. These make about 20 - 40% of total leucocytes.
  • Monocytes: These cells are actively motile and phagocytic cells. These make about 2 - 7% of total leucocytes.
So, the correct answer is 'Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils'.
