  2. Functions of WBC: Mainly functions to protect against disease. Works mainly outside the blood stream Diapedesis - squeezing through blood vessels

  3. Leukocytosis: WBC above 10,000/mm3 Infection acute appendicitis. Leukopenia: WBC below 4,000/mm3 radiation drugs • Number of white blood cells per micro liter (mm3)of Blood: 4000 to 10,000

  4. WBC diluting fluids: Marcano: Acetic acid lyses RBC Metilen blue coloring WBC

  5. Method • Diluting fluid: 1ml • Anticoagulatedblood: 50μl • Filling of the counting chamber(Charging) Count with NeubaUEr hEmocytometer lam under microscope

  6. Neubaure hemocytometer lam

  7. Neubauer hemocytometer lam
