Solution

Here is a chart showing the number of blood cells in per mL blood in human body :
ParameterNormal range (men)Normal range (women)
Hematocrit 42-52%36-48%
Ferritin 9serum)30-400 ng/DL13-150 ng/mL
Iron (serum)60-170 μg/dL60-170 μg/dL
Reticulocytes count 0.5 % - 1.5 % 0.5 % - 1.5 %
White blood cell (WBC)5000-10000/mL 5000-10000 /mL
Red blood cell (RBC)4.55.5×106/mL4.05.0×106/mL
Platelet1.44.0×105/mL1.44.0×105/mL
TIBC250370μg/dL250370μg/dL
From the chart we can see the most abundant cell in human body is Erythrocytes (red blood cells) : 4.5 - 5.5 millions per mL.
Platelets are 1,40,000 - 4,00,000 per mL.
White blood cells are 5,000 - 10,000 per mL. Neutrophils, lymphocytes and basophils are all included in this number.
