Surgical technologists and technicians are a critical part of surgical teams in hospitals and clinics. The surgical supply technician is a surgical technician who is specifically responsible for providing sterile instruments to the team. In some settings, a surgical supply technician is sometimes referred to as a central service technician or a sterile supply technician.
White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells.
There are five different types of white blood cells, each with its own function in protecting us from infection. The differential classifies a personâs white blood cells into each type: o Neutrophils (also known as segs, PMNs, granulocytes, grans), o Lymphocytes, o Monocytes, o Eosinophils, o Basophiles.â¢ Red blood cell (RBC) count is a count of the actual number of red blood cells per volume of blood.he WBC is usually measured as part of the CBC (complete blood count). White blood cells are the infection-fighting cells in the blood and are distinct from the red (oxygen-carrying) blood cells known as erythrocytes.
