Immunology Explained Simply
A quick disclaimer upfront: We at Easy Immunology all studied biology and are not medical professionals. Our videos are intended to educate about biological concepts and are not for self-diagnosis. If you feel unwell, please consult a medical professional.
Today, after a brief recap, we'll discuss what platelets (thrombocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes) are, why they are included in a complete blood count, and what changes in the number of these cells can tell us.
We hope you enjoy the episode, stay curious, and see you in the next video!
