In a routine blood test, the differential leukocyte count of a healthy individual is represented by five variables based on their relative abundance: A : 60-65 % B : 20-25 % C : 6-8 % D : 2-3 % E : 0.5-1 % Identify the types of leukocytes that correspond to variables C and E respectively.
Options
- AEosinophils and Basophils
- BLymphocytes and Monocytes
- CNeutrophils and Eosinophils
- DMonocytes and Basophils
Correct answer
D. Monocytes and Basophils
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT, the relative abundance of different white blood cells (leukocytes) is as follows: Neutrophils: 60-65 % (A) Lymphocytes: 20-25 % (B) Monocytes: 6-8 % (C) Eosinophils: 2-3 % (D) Basophils: 0.5-1 % (E) Therefore, variable C corresponds to Monocytes and variable E corresponds to Basophils. Answer: Monocytes and Basophils
