Erythrocyte, Thrombocyte and T Lymphocyte

  • Left - red blood cell (erythrocyte, 7 µm in diameter[1]) about 5 x 109/ml of blood (5 thousand million cells in every millilitre of blood)
  • Centre - platelet (thrombocyte, a fragment of a blood cell the megakaryocyte)
  • Right - white blood cell (lymphocyte, a T-lymphocyte involved in immunity)

Human Blood Cells/ml

  • Erythrocyte - about 5 x 109/ml of blood (5 thousand million cells in every millilitre of blood)
    • Male: 4.32 - 5.66 x 109/ml
    • Female: 3.88 - 4.99 x 109/ml
  • Thrombocyte - 140 - 440 x 106/ml (100 to 400 million in every millilitre of blood)
    • not a cell, a cell fragment.
  • T-lymphocyte - 0.77 - 2.68 x 106/ml (1 to 2.5 million in every millilitre of blood)
    • CD4+: 0.53 - 1.76 x 106/ml
    • CD8+: 0.30 - 1.03 x 106/ml
    • NK cells: 0.20 - 0.40 x 106/ml
