White Blood Cells And The Cardiovascular System

White Blood Cells

Everyone has a defense system in their body. They’re called white blood cells. White blood cells are a part of the Immune system and the Cardiovascular System. White blood cells have a structure that helps it function. But sometimes they can malfunction. Everybody needs white blood cells to stay healthy. White blood cells are a large part of the Immune system, and greatly contribute to the

Cardiovascular system. In the cardiovascular system, they act like highways that contain the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Their job is to carry waste products away from the cell, and also carries glucose which makes energy. Blood is used to carry oxygen to the lungs and to other parts of the body. “When Cells break down glucose,

The Nonspecific Immune System is where white blood cells come in. They make sure that no foreign pathogens enter the body.

These white blood cells migrate to fight that infected area. The Specific Immune System is made of T cells and B cells. Both kinds help produce bone marrow. “Memory cells give an animal immunity to future attacks by the original invader”(Padilla et al. 89). The Immune System and

The Cardiovascular System are both key for the white blood cells.

White blood cells are necessary for a human body to keep it healthy. Their job is to be like a superhero that fights off bad infections, diseases, and viruses by creating antibodies. White blood cell are also called leukocytes. They are larger than red blood cells and contain a nucleus and ribosomes. White blood cells are produced by marrow and contained in the veins or blood vessels. They only last about three days, but are only 1% of the human blood system, they are so important. These cells carry nutrients to the cell. They also keep a consistent blood temperature for warm-blooded animals. “There are about 4,000 to 11,000 white blood cells per cubic

Millimeter of the blood in the human body” (Manar). There are five different types of

This can cause a very serious health issue. Certain medicines can also raise or lower the amount of white blood cells that enter your body at a time and can, in worst cases, have heart issues. Myeloproliferative disorder is a disorder that can cause an unhealthy balance of the blood (of all kinds) cells. This disorder can trigger excessive amounts of immature blood cells which could cause serious health problems. One of a disease is Leukemia. In all, these malfunctions happen when the system of checks and balances
