infections
, Monocytes - correct answer-*A type of white blood cell that transforms into macrophages,
extends pseudopods, and engulfs huge numbers of microbes over a long period of time
*An agranular leukocyte that is able to migrate into tissues and transform into a macrophage.
Neutrophils - correct answer-A type of white blood cell that engulfs microbes by
phagocytosis
Plasma - correct answer-Liquid part of blood
Platelets (thrombocytes) - correct answer-one of the formed elements in the blood that is
responsible for aiding in the clotting process

bone marrow - correct answer-lymphocytes and monocytes originate in the
Depressed bone marrow - correct answer-leads to a severe deficiency of RBCs, causing a
serious form of anemia called aplastic anemia
Myelosuppression - correct answer-cause a deficiency of WBCs (leukocytes) called
leukopenia
