White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) 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. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system.[

WHITE BLOOD CELLS



White blood cells (also called leukocytes or immune cells) are cells which form a component of the blood.


They help to defend the body against infectious disease and foreign materials as part of the immune system.


Function of blood--


Transports oxygen, nutrients, metabolic waste products.


Regulation of body temperature, signal transmission, acid-base homeostasis, and immune response.


White blood cells (WBCs) are a part of the immune system that helps fight infection and defend the body against other foreign materials. Different types of white blood cells are involved in recognizing intruders, killing harmful bacteria, and creating antibodies to protect your body against future exposure to some bacteria and viruses.



Conditions With Low White Blood Cell Counts

Conditions which may result in a low white blood cell count include:


Severe infections

Bone marrow damage or disorders including aplastic anemia, bone marrow "takeover" by blood cancers or metastatic cancer, or drug or chemical-related damage to the bone marrow

Autoimmune diseases such as lupus

Splenic "sequestration" where white blood cells are accumulated in the spleen.


Symptoms of a Low White Blood Count


The symptoms of a low white blood count can be understood by knowing the function of white blood cells. Our white blood cells are our bodies defense against infections. Some of the cells are part of our innate immune system, meaning they know from birth to attack foreigners, and others are part of our humoral, or learned the immune system, and manufacturer antibodies after "seeing" a germ in order to be prepared for another attack by that germ ahead of time. Symptoms of infection may include:


Fever


Cough


Pain or frequency of urination


Blood in the stools


Diarrhea


Redness, swelling, or warmth in a region of infection




Hope my answer helps you ☺✌✌
