• Subtopic: White Blood Cells and Their Functions Some kinds of white blood cells change their shape and push their cytoplasm out to make “fingers” that can capture a pathogen. Then, they produce chemicals that kill and digest the pathogen. Other types of white blood cells produce chemicals called antibodies that mark pathogens to be killed through different mechanisms. Different kinds of antibodies are needed for each different kind of pathogen. • Subtopic: Blood Test and Blood Components **Blood Test** **White Blood Cells** **Red Blood Cells** **Erythrocytes** **Thrombocytes** **Monocyte** **Basophil** **Eosinophil** **Lymphocytes** **Neutrophil** **Hematology Results:** - Hemoglobin (g/l): 144 (reference range: 130 - 170) - Hematocrit (HCT): 0.465 (reference range: 0.37 - 0.50) - Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count: 4.74 x 10^12/l (reference range: 4.4 - 5.8) - Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): 98.1 fL (reference range: 81 - 99) - Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH): 30.4 PG (reference range: 27.0 - 33.5) - Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC): 310 g/l (reference range: 300 - 350) - RBC: 13.8 x 10^9/l (reference range: 11.5 - 15.0) - Platelet...
