Neutrofiil
Neutrofiil, also known as a neutrophil, is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) that plays a crucial role in the immune system. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell in humans, typically making up 50% to 70% of the total leukocyte count. They are part of the granulocyte subgroup, characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm, which contain enzymes and antimicrobial proteins.
Neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow through a process called hematopoiesis, where stem cells differentiate
Upon reaching an infection site, neutrophils perform phagocytosis, a process where they engulf and digest microorganisms.
Neutrophil levels in the blood can be measured through a complete blood count (CBC) test. Elevated neutrophil
