White Blood cells are made by Bone Marrow and are stored in blood and lymphatic tissues. They make 1% of blood. They are constantly being made since their lifespan is one to three days.<\/p>

They are generated as part of self-defense mechanism to prevent or cure infections or diseases. Higher white blood cells generally means infection but could be due to inflammation, labor, etc. They are also called Leukocytes.<\/p>

Five types \u2013 Monocytes, Lymphocytes, Neutrophils, Basophils & Eosinophils.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Red Blood cells are made by Bone Marrow and are stored in blood. They make majority of the blood. Their lifespan is about 120 days.<\/p>

They carry Hemoglobin, which carries oxygen molecule, and also transports carbon dioxide from body to the lungs for exhalation.<\/p>

Eating Foods rich in Iron and Vitamins will lead to creation of more Red Blood cells \u2013 Vitamin E from dark green vegetables, fruits (mango), red bell pepper, seeds, asparagus, avocados, nuts, etc. & Vitamin B2\/B3\/B12 from bananas, whole grains, and milk products & Vitamin B9 (folate) from dark green vegetables, beans, mushrooms, bananas, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are 23 pairs of Chromosomes out of which 22 are similar in both male & female and the 23rd<\/sup> one is the sex chromosome.<\/p>

A chromosome is a deoxyribonucleic acid molecule (DNA) coiled with proteins found in the nucleus of a cell.<\/p>

Each chromosome is made up of single DNA molecule tightly coiled many times around proteins called Histones that support its structure.<\/p>

Chromosomes are responsible to maintain uniformity & DNA replication during new cell productions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are two types of Glands in a human body \u2013 Exocrine (ducted) Glands & Endocrine (ductless) Glands.<\/p>

Exocrine<\/strong> \u2013 These glands secrete into a region of the body through a duct.<\/p>

Endocrine<\/strong> \u2013 These glands secrete directly into bloodstream without duct. The secreted chemicals and\/or hormones regulate the functionality of the cells or organs. Unhealthy Endocrine system would lead to many issues related to puberty, pregnancy & managing stress.<\/p>
