Document Summary
Erythrocyte - carries oxygen from lungs to peripheral tissues. Eosinophil - involved in response to parasites (especially helminths) and allergic response. Basophil - function is mostly unknown; likely involved in allergic response. Monocyte - involved in innate immunity; can differentiate into macrophage or dendritic cell. *every lab has its own set of normal values that may differ from these. Red blood cell (rbc) count count of actual number of rbcs per volume of blood. Hemoglobin (hb) amount of oxygen-carrying protein in the blood. Hematocrit (hct) percentage of a given volume of whole blood occupied by packed. Mean corpuscular volume (mcv) measurement of actual size of rbcs. Mean corpuscular hb (mch) amount of oxygen-carrying hb inside rbcs. Mean corpuscular hb concentration (mchc) average concentration of hb inside rbcs. Rbc distribution width (rdw) measurement of variability in rbc size. White blood cell (wbc) count count of actual number of wbcs per volume of blood.
