Number of WBCs per $mm^3$ of human blood is ideally.

  1. $8000$

  2. $7000$

  3. $6500$

  4. $6000$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
White blood cells, or leukocytes, are a part of the immune system. They help our bodies fight infection. White blood cells circulate in the blood so they can be transported to an area that has developed an infection. In normal adult bodies there are 4,000 to 10,000 (average 8,000) white blood cells per microliter of blood. White blood cells are found in blood and lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, lymphatic ganglions, connective tissue, and inflammatory effusions, as they are mobile and migratory. Their average dimension varies between 9 and 18 µm. Normal blood values are about 8000 leukocytes per cubic millimeter. 

So, the correct answer is '8000'.

Number of leucocytes in decreasing order in human blood is?

  1. Eosinophils $>$ basophils $>$ neutrophils

  2. Neutrophils $>$ eosinophils $>$ basophils

  3. Basophils $>$ eosinophils $>$ neutrophils

  4. Eosinophils $>$ neutrophils $>$ basophils


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Basophils: 0.5–1.0 percent. Eosinophils: 1–4 percent. Lymphocytes: 20–40 percent. Monocytes: 2–8 percent, Neutrophils: 40% to 60% Lymphocytes: 20% to 40%.


So, the correct answer is 'Neutrophils > eosinophils > basophils'.

Find the correct descending order of percentage proportion of leucocytes in human blood.

  1. Neutrophils --> Basophils --> Lymphocytes Acidophils (Eosinophils) -->Monocytes

  2. Monocytes --> Neutrophils --> Lymphocytes --> Acidophils-->Basophils

  3. Neutrophils --> Lymphocytes Monocytes --> Acidophils -->Basophils

  4. Lymphocytes Acidophils --> Basophils --> Neutrophils-->Monocytes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The relative proportions of the different types of white blood cells are: Neutrophils (roughly 60 – 70%), Lymphocytes (roughly 20 – 30%), Monocytes (approximately 1 – 6%), Eosinophils (approximately 1 – 3%), Basophils (less than 1%).

Thus, the correct answer is 'Neutrophils --> Lymphocytes Monocytes --> Acidophils -->Basophils.'

Compounds released by WBCs, which raise the body's temperature, are known as

  1. Insulin

  2. Catecholamines

  3. Pyrogens

  4. Prostaglandins


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
When your body temperature rises  because of an infection, it's called a fever.  Fevers are caused by chemicals called pyrogens flowing in the bloodstream. Pyrogens make their way to the hypothalamus in the brain, which is in charge of regulating body temperature. So, the correct option is "C" (Pyrogens).

Immunocomplexes are removed by 

  1. Basophils and monocytes

  2. Basophils and eosinophils

  3. Eosinophils and monocytes

  4. Neutrophils and basophils


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Immunocomplexes also called antigen-antibody complexes are harmful and long deposition of then inside the cell can lead to various autoimmune disorders and primarily removed from the cell by phagocytosis in which eosinophils and monocytes (destruction of antibody)  have an important role to play.

So the correct option is 'Eosinophils and monocytes'.

In a blood sample, a WBC has a nucleus with drum-sticks. This indicates that the blood sample has come from a person who is 

  1. Heamphilic

  2. Diabatic

  3. Female

  4. Sickle cell-anemic


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Neutrophils are sexually dimorphic. Neutrophils from females exhibit a small additional X chromosome structure, known as a "neutrophil drumstick".

Drumsticks are differentiated from other nuclear appendages that may occasionally be seen in both sexes.  
Drumsticks usually appear when two XX chromosomes are present. The active X chromosome is randomly distributed within nuclear lobes, but the inactive X preferentially appears in drumsticks. Typical drumsticks are rarely seen in normal men. 

So the answer is 'Female'.

(B) Eosinophil compose about $2-4\%$ of WBC. The count fluctuates. It rises in response to allergies, parasitic infections, collagen diseases, and disease of the spleen and CNS. That is they resist infection.
(C) Basophils are chiefly responsible for allergic and antigen response by releasing the chemical histamine & serotonin also heparin.
(D) Red Blood cells lack a nucleus, but are biconcave in shape, not Biconvex
All statements are correct, only in (D), there should be biconcave instead of Biconvex.

Mark, among the following the a cell which does not exhibit pahgocytotic activity

  1. Monocytes

  2. Neutrophil

  3. Basophil

  4. Macrophage


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Phagocytotic activity is the process of engulfing or ingestion of food or bacteria.

  • Monocytes - They are the largest type of leucocytes present in about 10-20% in blood. They are phagocytotic in nature and engulf bacteria.
  • Neutrophils - There are also many in number in leucocytes. They are phagocytotic in nature and thus engulf harmful bacteria and germs.
  • Basophils - They are present in the very least amount in the leucocytes. Their main function is the prevention of blood clotting and other allergic reactions.
  • Macrophages - They are formed from monocytes in the leucocytes. They are phagocytes that engulf and destroy all the bacteria.

So, the correct option is 'Basophil'.

The blood cells with polymorphic nucleus are?

  1. Granulocytes

  2. Thrombocytes

  3. Erythrocytes

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Explanation:

Leucocytes do not disintegrate in spleen and liver, in fact they are produced in bone marrow.
Neutrophils are mainly responsible for protection against infection. When they come across the bacteria or any other foreign bodies, they engulf them through phagocytosis, thus playing a important role in cell defense. 

Which statement is true for WBC?

  1. Non-nucleted

  2. In deficiency, cancer is caused

  3. Can squeeze through blood capillaries

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

WBC's are amoeboid in shape due to which they can easily squeeze through the walls of the capillaries at the site of injury by the process known as diapedesis and engulf the damaged cells by phagocytosis. They are nucleated cells and excess of WBCs causes cancer known as leukaemia. 

So, the correct answer is option C.

Spleen and thymus are haematopoietic for

  1. RBC

  2. WBC

  3. Platelets

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Haematopoiesis is the process of formation of blood cellular components. Blood cell formation takes place in yolk sac in developing embryo. As development proceeds, blood formation occurs in liver, spleen and lymph nodes. In spleen and thymus, 20-30% of WBCs are formed while RBCs and platelets are formed in the bone marrow.  All cellular blood components are derived from haematopoietic stem cells.

The main function of white blood cells is

  1. To help red blood cells in the transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

  2. To clot the blood at the time of injuries.

  3. To accelerate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.

  4. To defend the body against infections.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

White blood cells(WBCs) are the body's defense systems. They attack foreign bodies that invaded the blood or any part of the body. Foreign bodies like the bacteria, viruses and the fungi rendering them less invasive and even destroys them. They are cells involved in the “inflammatory” response. This response develops when tissue is damaged or invaded by microbes. Neutrophils specialize is killing bacteria. Eosinophils kill parasites. Monocytes control inflammation by releasing cytokines. Lymphocytes recognize and destroy cells infected by viruses or transplanted foreign cells. 

So, the correct option is 'To defend the body against infections'

Myoglobin is found in

  1. White fibres

  2. Red fibres

  3. Can be traced in both

  4. Cardiac muscles only


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Myoglobin is found in red fibres.

Myoglobin contains a heme (prosthetic) group which is responsible for its main function (carrying of oxygen molecules to muscle tissues). Myoglobin can exist in the oxygen free form, deoxymyoglobin, or in a form in which the oxygen molecule is bound, called oxymyoglobin.
Myoglobin is an iron and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals. It is related to hemoglobin, which is the iron and oxygen-binding protein in blood, specifically in the red blood cells. In humans, myoglobin is only found in the bloodstream after muscle injury
So, the correct answer is 'Red fibres'

Abnormal fall in total count of WBCs in the human blood is called

  1. Anaemia

  2. Polycythemia

  3. Leucopenia

  4. Leukaemia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Leucopenia is the decrease in WBCs (white blood cells) in the blood. This increases the chances of infection in body. WBCs are involved in the immunity of body and destroy foreign pathogens and particles. However, the number of WBCs may also decrease due to acute infection and this leads to weak immunity. Leucopenia have further subtypes depending upon which type of leucocytes are decreasing. There are five types of leucocytes in our body, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. If there is decrease in count of neutrophils, the condition is known as neutropenia. Most often, leucopenia occurs due to fall in neutrophils cells.
So, the correct answer is 'Leucopenia'.
