Blood Cells
Explain the identification of neutrophil, basophil, lymphocytes, and platelets. Describe the relative abundance of each kind of blood cell, as well as their function in the body. Where is each kind of cell produced? Do all stay within the confines of the blood vessels, or can some migrate throughout the body? Do all have nuclei? How long do they Iive? Where are old blood cells destroyed?
