Blood cell size- Size Determining the Type. The circulatory fluid in higher vertebrates is called 'blood' whereas in the lower ones it is called 'hemolymph'. An average adults body has five liters of blood. The blood that flows through the whole body with the help of arteries and veins is called 'whole blood'. The elastic tissue called blood has plasma and the hematic cells. The hematic cells are classified as follows-- it has erythrocytes, platelets, leucocytes and
granulocytes and agranulocytes. The granulocytes have neutrophills, eosinophills, basopjills and lymphoid cells. The agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. The red blood cells in the peripheral blood are generally uniform in its size. The platelets appear an as small-bluish purple discs. The 'Complete Blood Count' (CBC) test is the calibration of the cellular elements of the blood. About 7 to 8% of the body weight consists of blood. The normal concentrations ranges from 130,000 to 450,000 per micron liter.
Content:
A normal human blood cell size is around MCV 95 cu mu. The newborn cell for the babies is around MCV 110-130 cubic microns. . The diameter of the red cell is more important the volume it carries. The red blood cells have about 270,000,000-iron rich hemoglobin molecule. The platelets have one third of the RBC size. The normal size is around 6-8 microns in diameter. The size of the monocyte is around 10 to 30 micron in diameter. The nucleus to cytoplasm ratio is 2:1.Theplatelets is around 1 to 4 micron. The Basophill measures about 10 to 15 microns. The nucleus to cytoplasm ratio 1:1.The neutrophill are around 9 to 15 microns in diameter. A nucleated red cell measures about 7 to 12 microns.
The CBC test results:
The White Blood Cells range around 4300to 10,800 cells per cubic millimeter. The Red blood cells are 4.2 to 5.9 million cells per cubic millimeter. The hemocrit is the measured volume of red cells to the volume of the blood. The Mean Cell hemoglobin is around 27 to 32 picograms. The neutrophills are 50-70%, the eosinophills are 2-4% and basophills are 1-5 %. The lymphocytes are 20-40% and the monocytes are 3-8%.
Causes of low Whit Blood Cell count- A condition one should avoid
The WBC's as they are commonly known are also called as Leukocytes or white cells or white corpuscle. Essential for the proper functioning of the immune system, they are found in the blood stream of our body. Some white blood cells act as scavengers...
High Red Blood Cell count- Even More of R.B.C. could be a trouble!
An overview: The normal volumes of the count vary according to the age, sex, and elevation above sea level and the type of blood group. For men it is 4.6 -6.2 millions RBCs in per microlitre, for women it is 4.4-5.4 millions per micro liter....
Blood Cell Maturation- The basic process carried out in our body
Basic structure of a cell: - The cell is a basic microscopic unit of our body. Visible only by a microscope, various parts of the cell can be seen and analyzed. A cell consists of basic elements like nucleus, cytoplasm, cytoplasmic inclusions...
Production of Blood Cell - How are blood cells produced?
The red blood cell, the white blood cell and platelet are known as blood cells. These blood cells are components of the blood or plasma. The red blood cell functions in carrying oxygen from the lungs to the different tissues and muscles of the body....
Normal White Blood Cell Count - What is a normal white blood cell count?
White blood cell is one of the components of blood or plasma. Blood is a circulating tissue. It is responsible in carrying nutrients and other vital elements to the different body tissues. Along with white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets...
