Quiz Please

• Approximately half of your circulating WBCs are "marginating" on the endothelium of your vasculature.
• The marginating cells can come loose with minimal encouragement, thereby greatly increase your effective pool almost instantly.

• In the "healthy state," the WBC count actually can vary quite a bit, but should be in the range of 4,000 - 11,000 cells/cumm of whole blood.
• Neutrophils: 50 - 70%
• Lymphocytes: 20 - 40%
• Monocytes: 1 - 6%
• Eosinophils: 1 - 5%
• Basophils: up to 1%
