Question

Largest number of white blood corpuscles are

• A. Eosinophils
• B. Basophils
• C. Neutrophils
• D. Monocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is C Neutrophils

WBCs (White blood cells) can be granulocytes or agranulocytes.

Granulocytes are of three types:

• Eosinophils: These make about 1 - 5% of total leucocytes.
• Basophils: These make about 0.5 - 2.7% of total leucocytes.
• Neutrophils: These make about 60 - 70% of total leucocytes.

Agranulocytes are of two types:

• Lymphocytes: These make about 20 - 40% of total leucocytes.
• Monocytes: These make about 2 - 7% of total leucocytes.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Neutrophils'.
