Granulocytes. The leukocytes, or white blood cells, defend the body against infecting organisms and foreign agents, both in the tissues and in the bloodstream itself (see immunity).Human blood contains about 5,000 to 10,000 leukocytes per cubic millimeter; the number increases in the presence of infection.his overproduction suppresses the production of normal blood cells. Conversely, a sharp decrease in the number of leukocytes (leukopenia) strips the blood of its defense against infection and is an equally serious condition.
White Blood Cells. White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are much fewer in number than red blood cells. There are 5 different types of white blood cells that work together to protect the body by attacking foreign invaders, including bacteria, viruses and tumors.The most common type of white blood cells are called neutrophils.hite Blood Cells.
