Document Summary

Only formed elements that are complete cells. Helps protect the body from damage by bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins and tumour cells. Leave the cell via a process called diapedesis slipping out of the capillary blood vessels. Amoeboid motion process of movement where they form cytoplasmic extensions that move them along. Positive chemotaxis leukocytes pinpoint areas of damage by following chemical trails released by damages cells. Leukocytosis (cid:271)ody"s respo(cid:374)se to (cid:271)a(cid:272)terial or (cid:448)iral i(cid:374)(cid:448)asio(cid:374) number can double in hrs. Spherical, larger than rbc lobed nuclei, cytoplasmic granules. Cytoplasm contains 2 types of granules that take up both acidic and basic dyes granules contain hydrolytic enzymes and antibiotic-like proteins (defensins) Numbers increase during acute bacterial infections such as meningitis and appendicitis. Histamine inflammatory chemical that acts as a vasodilator and attracts other white blood cells to the inflamed cite. S or u shaped dark purple nucleus. Form mast cells bind to a particular antibody.
