Some cells in multicellular animals may be amoeboid, for instance human white blood cells, which consume pathogens.

The cytokines trigger an inflammatory response, which draws large numbers of white blood cells to the area and increases the regional blood flow.

Non-microbial exogenous ( non-self ) antigens can include pollen, egg white, and proteins from transplanted tissues and organs or on the surface of transfused blood cells.

Antibodies are produced by a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell.

A number of harmful and undesired ( adverse ) effects have been observed, including lowered life expectancy, extrapyramidal effects on motor control – including akathisia ( an inability to sit still ), trembling, and muscle weakness – weight gain, decrease in brain volume ( although this is being debated, since schizophrenia, which is often treated with antipsychotics, also causes a shrinkage of brain volume ), enlarged breasts ( gynecomastia ) in men and milk discharge in men and women ( galactorrhea due to hyperprolactinaemia ), lowered white blood cell count ( agranulocytosis ), involuntary repetitive body movements ( tardive dyskinesia ), diabetes, sexual dysfunction, a return of psychosis requiring increasing the dosage due to cells producing more neurochemicals to compensate for the drugs ( tardive psychosis ), and a potential for permanent chemical dependence leading to psychosis worse than before treatment began, if the drug dosage is ever lowered or stopped ( tardive dysphrenia ).

* Clozapine also has a risk of inducing agranulocytosis, a potentially dangerous reduction in the number of white blood cells in the body.

A scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) image of a normal red blood cell, a platelet, and a white blood cell.

The blood cells are mainly red blood cells ( also called RBCs or erythrocytes ) and white blood cells, including leukocytes and platelets.

Jawed vertebrates have an adaptive immune system, based largely on white blood cells.

* Immunological functions, including circulation of white blood cells, and detection of foreign material by antibodies

The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 liters ( 1. 3 gal ), composed of plasma and several kinds of cells ( occasionally called corpuscles ); these formed elements of the blood are erythrocytes ( red blood cells, RBCs ), leukocytes ( white blood cells ), and thrombocytes ( platelets ).

By volume, the red blood cells constitute about 45 % of whole blood, the plasma about 54. 3 %, and white cells about 0. 7 %.

They support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals.

* Band cell, a type of white blood cell

However, the most stand-out trait is their use of corpse paint – black and white makeup ( sometimes mixed with real or fake blood ), which is used to create a corpse-like appearance.

Aged women, priestesses, dressed in white sacrificed the prisoners of war and sprinkled their blood, the nature of which allowed them to see what was to come.

His cyborg body is composed of artificial muscle, organs, bones, and blood ( a " white " artificial blood that the PLA substituted for his old, nanomachine primed blood ).

Specific staining by DEAE-cellulose treated Af and Af, although clearly distinguishable under the microscope from either nonspecific staining or autofluorescence of cells, was not satisfactorily photographed to show such differences in spite of many attempts with black and white and color photography.

This was chiefly because of the bluish white autofluorescence from the cells.

It was reasoned that an agent that damaged the rapidly growing white blood cells might have a similar effect on cancer.

Therefore, in December 1942, several patients with advanced lymphomas ( cancers of certain white blood cells ) were given the drug by vein, rather than by breathing the irritating gas.

Virtually all chemotherapeutic regimens can cause depression of the immune system, often by paralysing the bone marrow and leading to a decrease of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

In very severe myelosuppression, which occurs in some regimens, almost all the bone marrow stem cells ( cells that produce white and red blood cells ) are destroyed, meaning allogenic or autologous bone marrow cell transplants are necessary.

White matter tissue of the freshly cut brain appears pinkish white to the naked eye because myelin is composed largely of lipid tissue veined with capillaries.

Brown fat also contains more capillaries than white fat, since it has a greater need for oxygen than most tissues.

Histamine increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood cells and some proteins, to allow them to engage pathogens in the infected tissues.

They form from anastomosis of capillaries, using the beta form of semi-red blood cells and white blood cells to form.

The dots are white blood cells moving in the capillaries in front of the retina of the eye.

It is much more noticeable when viewed against a field of pure blue light and is caused by white blood cells moving in the capillaries in front of the retina.

In the case of hematological malignancies such as acute leukemias, white blood cell counts may be high enough to cause hemostasis and " sludging " in the capillaries.

Blood dripped down the front of his sweater, soaking into a dark streak of dirt that ran diagonally across the white wool on his shoulder, as though the bright V woven into the neckline had melted, running a darker color.

* 1958 – Art Kane photographs 57 notable jazz musicians in the black and white group portrait " A Great Day in Harlem " in front of a Brownstone in New York City.

Home caps are white in front and black at the back with an orange bill, while the road caps are all black with an orange bill.

* The system uses color-coded logos on the front and rear of buses ( white mini-vans ) to identify routes:

" According to Dhanis ' medical officer, Captain Hinde, their town of Ngandu had " at least 2, 000 polished human skulls " as a " solid white pavement in front " of its gates, with human skulls crowning every post of the stockade.

Children were often placed at the front of this enclosure and the area had a distinctive white picket fence to keep fans off the pitch ( up until the 70's ).

Script " Indians " is located across the front of the jersey in the same fashion as the home uniform ( red lettering with a white outline ); the Chief Wahoo logo is on the left sleeve.

The first 1541 drives produced in 1982 had a label on the front reading VIC-1541 and had a white case to match the VIC-20.

In 1940 he completed Tobacco Farmer, the portrait of a young black farmer in white overalls and a blue shirt with a youthful yet serious look upon his face, sitting in front of the landscape and buildings he works on and in.

The band, who all wore white shirts with a big, black S painted on the front, pulled black ties from around the backs of their necks to form a dollar sign, then started playing a new song titled " Pull My Strings ", a barbed, satirical attack on the ethics of the mainstream music industry, which contained the lyrics, " Is my cock big enough, is my brain small enough, for you to make me a star ?".

Young David holds the impaled head of Goliath and marches in front of a general riding a white horse, most likely King Saul

The most important aspect of this was that such shots involved having the sun light the scene from behind, and this approach was extended by using the reflected sunlight from a white surface below the camera to light up the shadow on the actors faces from the front.

The knights wore a white surcoat with a red cross and a white mantle ; the sergeants wore a black tunic with a red cross on front and back and a black or brown mantle.

In 1972, the Brewers entered the doubleknit era with uniforms based upon their flannels — all white with " BREWERS " on the front, blue and yellow trim on the sleeves, neck, waistband and down the side of the pants.

In a typical keyboard layout, black note keys have uniform width, and white note keys have uniform width and uniform spacing at the front of the keyboard.

Okapis have reddish dark backs, with striking horizontal white stripes on the front and back legs, making them resemble zebras from a distance.

In 1979, the Phillies front office modified the uniform into an all-burgundy version with white trimmings, to be worn for Saturday games.

If white people were already sitting in the front, black people had to board at the front to pay the fare, then disembark and reenter through the rear door.

The bus reached the third stop in front of the Empire Theater, and several white passengers boarded.

Blake noted that the front of the bus was filled with white passengers, with two or three standing.

This new CD came without copy protection, in a jewel case, with a black & white inlay manual, along with colour inserts for both the front and rear.
