There Are Five Types of White Blood Cells

| medicine |

And in addition to that white blood cells are called leukocytes which come about from hemocytoblasts in response to two hormones called interleukins and colony stimulating factors.

There are two categories Granulocytes and Agranulocytes.

The granulocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.

The agranulocytes are monocytes and lymphocytes.

All of them are unique and have different functions.

Phew! that is just the white blood cells which compose like 1% of the blood. I still have to memorize all the details and all the other parts of the blood. I feel like I am making a lot of progress and I am glad to be finished with the chapter and I took great notes on it so there is no reason why I should not do well. Not to mention the fact that the test is not till tuesday and I am already rocking out chapters, notes, and study guides. I should do great right?

It is so much information but a lot of it does make sense when you really sit down , map it out, and think about it.

I sound like a loser, but I really truly love anatomy and physiology.

I am holding pink pages in my hand, reviewing them before I collate them into my script. A magic battle ensues between Wil and Bert (fireballs, energy bolts, conjured beasts, etc.) I look at the script again, to make sure I haven’t misread it. Yeah, it rea...

Seeing like a state

The post about the dark mode toggle reminded me of two similar things rattling in my brain. On the positive side, here’s a delightful interaction from macOS. I can easily maximize the window to take up half the screen, but the moment I start dragging it, i...
