Question

Table 1 Count 100 leukocytes on your stained slide and determine their identity. Tally your results in the table below and calculate the percentages of the cell type observed. (1pts) White Blood Cell Type Neutrophil Lymphocyte Monocyte Eosinophil Basophil Number of Cells Percentage 2 a I 3 How do the calculated percentages of each leukocyte counted in Table I compare to percentages for each blood cell type in a healthy individual? (0.5pt) 1. Using your data collected in Table 1, what would it mean if one cell count was higher or lower than the accepted value for each blood cell type? (0.5pt) 2.

A1) The standard of number of cells that should be available in blood are provided below.

The different types of white blood cells are given as a percentage:
