Question

All the following statements about white blood cells are true except,

• A. They have a nucleus.
• B. They are formed in bone marrow.
• C. They move like Paramoecia
• D. They are phagocytic.

Answer 1

The correct option is C They move like Paramoecia

WBCs are irregular in shape, but have a nucleus and an outer buffer coat.

They leave the blood vessels and move to the injury site. Capable of diapedesis squeeze between cells of blood vessel walls to exit circulation. They are produced in lymph nodes, spleen, etc. They are phagocytic.

Phagocytes are cells that protect the body by ingesting (phagocytosing) harmful foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells. They do not move like paramecia. Hence, the correct answer is the option C.
