4. WHITE BLOOD CORPUSCLES
or ,
LEUCOCYTES
 White Blood Corpuscles are also known as
Leucocytes , as they are colourless due to lack of
Haemoglobin .
 There are about 6,000-8,000 mm of WBC for 1ml of
blood .

5. Formation of WBC :-
 Leucocytes are formed in the Red
Bone Marrow of many bones .
 They can also be formed in
lymphatic tissue .
 They live for about 13-20 days .

6. Types of WBC :-

7. Agranular or Agranulocyte :-
LYMPHOCYTES :
• Smallest WBC .
• Small amt. Of Cytoplasm .
• Two types ,-
1) T Lymphocytes ,
2) B Lymphocytes ,
3) NK Cells .

8. MONOCYTES :
• Largest of WBCs .
• Dark kidney bean shaped
neucleous .
• Phagocytic .
* Functions :
Monocytes are acts as antigen
processing .

9. Granular or Granulocyte :-
 BASOPHILS :
• Basophils are 10-15 micron in diameter .
• they have “ S “ shaped neucleous .
• The granules in the basophils contain “
Histamin “ & “ Heparin “ .
* Function :
Basophils have inflammatory reaction .

10. EOSINOPHIL :
• Large , numerous granules .
• 2-6 % of WBC count .
• Eosinophils are 10-15 micron in diameter .
* Function :
Eosinophils primarily deals with Parasitic
infectious and allergic reactions .

11. NEUTROPHIL :
• Granules are small and numerous .
• Highly active .
• 65 % of WBC count .
* Function :-
Neutrophils defend against bacterial or fungal
infection .

12. Diseases Related to Leucocytes :-
 LEUKOPENIA ,
 LEUKEMIA ,
 LEUCOCYTOSIS .
