Which WBC has maximum lifespan A) basophil B) monocyte C) acidophil D) neutrophil?

Question

Answer

(Monocyte- less than 24 hrs) (Neutrophils- 12 hrs) (Basophils- 10 hrs) (Acidophils -14 hrs) (Lymphocyte- 5 to 7 days)

Answer

B) Monocyte. ..
《》Under normal conditions, monocytes make up between 3% and 8% of the circulating cell population and their numbers increase in response to infection. The life span of a circulating monocyte is fairly brief and most undergo apoptosis after about 24 h.......

Answer

Granulocyte life span=4-8hrs
monocyte life span=10-20hrs
lymphocytes life span=4-5days
as lymphocyte is not in option so B is correct..

Answer

Neutrophils has maximum life span.

Answer

Monocyte

Answer

A

Answer

B) Monocytes have maximum life span

Answer

Monocytes

Answer

Answer

Lymphocytes

Answer

**Maximum Lifespan of White Blood Cells (WBCs)**
White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, play a crucial role in the immune system by defending the body against infections and diseases. There are several types of WBCs, each with its own characteristics and functions. Among these, four major types of WBCs are basophils, monocytes, eosinophils (acidophils), and neutrophils.

**Basophils**
Basophils are the rarest type of WBCs, comprising only about 0.5% of the total WBC count. They are involved in the body's allergic response and release histamine and other chemicals during allergic reactions. Basophils have a relatively short lifespan, typically ranging from a few hours to a few days. Therefore, they have the shortest lifespan among the four major types of WBCs.

**Monocytes**
Monocytes are the largest type of WBCs and account for approximately 2-8% of the total WBC count. They are responsible for phagocytosis, a process in which they engulf and destroy pathogens or foreign substances. Monocytes have a longer lifespan compared to basophils, ranging from several days to months. Once they leave the bloodstream and migrate into tissues, they transform into macrophages, which can survive for an extended period.

**Acidophils (Eosinophils)**
Acidophils, also known as eosinophils, make up around 1-4% of the total WBC count. They are primarily involved in combating parasitic infections and regulating allergic responses. Acidophils have a relatively longer lifespan compared to basophils but shorter than monocytes. Their lifespan is typically a few days to a couple of weeks.

**Neutrophils**
Neutrophils are the most common type of WBCs, constituting about 50-70% of the total WBC count. They are the first responders to sites of infection or tissue damage and are highly effective at phagocytosis. Neutrophils have a relatively short lifespan, ranging from a few hours to a few days. They are constantly produced by the bone marrow to maintain sufficient levels in the bloodstream.

In conclusion, among the four major types of WBCs, basophils have the shortest lifespan, while monocytes have the longest lifespan. Acidophils (eosinophils) have an intermediate lifespan, and neutrophils also have a relatively short lifespan. The lifespan of each WBC type is influenced by various factors such as their functions, cellular turnover, and the body's demand for immune response.

Answer

D) Nuetrophil

Answer

Normally granulocytes survive for 4-8hrs in blood.monocyte survive for 10-12hrs whereas lymphocytes survive for few days or months or sometime years.
so correct answer is monocytes
Ans:B

Answer

B

Answer

Acidophills

Answer

Lynphocytes

Answer

Monocytes
b

Answer

Monocyte ( B is a right answer)

Answer

Monocyte becomes the best option here....the largest life span in wbc's is of lymphocytes which ranges from 5-7 days.... monocyte survive for about 24 hrs....while the life of the granulocytes is 4-8 hours onlyyy..

Answer

Neutrophils - between 5 and 90 days
basophils - 60 to 70 hours
monocytes - 24 hours

Answer

A monocyte

Answer

B monocyte

Answer

Monocyt

Answer

Answer is D
because nuetrophil has 40 to 70% WBC are present

Answer

Monocyte  has maximum  lifespan  due to a granules

Answer

Besophil

Answer

Neutophill and eosinophils- 8 to10 days.
basophil - 10 to 12 days.
monocyte- 30 to 40 days.
lymphocytes-14 days(short lived lymphocytes) and 3 years ( long lived lymphocytes).

Answer

Monocyte i.e, less than 24 hours (lymphocytes- monocytes- acidophiles- neutrophils- basophils) in dec order

Answer

B) monocytes which die after about 24hrs. however some may differentiate into macrophages.

Answer

Monocyte has maximum lifespan

Answer

B is right answer

Answer

Option B is correct.

Answer

Neutophil

Answer

Lymphocyte is the correct option but answer is not there in the option. So, monocyte is the answer.

Answer

Lymphocyte...14 days

Answer

The lifespan of white blood cellsranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system. When immatureWBCs are first released from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood, they are called 'bands' or 'stabs.'Leukocytes fight infection through a process known as phagocytosis.

Answer

Neutrophils....

Answer

Monocytes as they have life span of 10 to 20 hrs

Answer

A neutrophils

Answer

Option b

Answer

B. Monocyte  (30-40hrs).after that it will convert into macrophages or phagocytic cells.

Answer

Monocyte
