Question

Which is the correct sequence of arrangement of types of WBC in decreasing order in terms of number per $m{{m}^{3}}$ of human blood?

• A. Eosinophils > Basophils > Neutrophils
• B. asophils > Eosinophils > Neutrophils
• C. Neutrophils > Eosinophils > Basophils
• D. Eosinophils > Neutrophils > Basophils

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Neutrophils > Eosinophils > Basophils

Answer 2

The count of neutrophils or heterophils is 60-70% of total leucocytes, .i.e., $4000-5000\text{ }cells/m{{m}^{3}}$ of blood. Eosinophils or acidophils or oxyphils make 1-5% of total leucocyte count, .i.e., $70-300\text{ }cell/m{{m}^{3}},$ while basophils or cyanophils count is 0.5-2.7% of total leucocytes, ie, $35-150\text{ }cells/m{{m}^{3}}$ of blood.
