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.
