In Reality • 當感覺到敵人存在的時候，帽子上帶
Background: O形圖案的標誌（受體）會彈起
• Neutrophi l, the WBC depicted in the 現實上
animation, represents the most abundant
type (~70%) of WBC in the blood [3]. 背景：
• Survive only for a few hours to several days in • 動畫中所描繪的白血球，是血液中含量最
circulation [4, 5] 豐富（~70%）的白血球類型 — 嗜中性
• Usually the first cells to migrate to the site of 白血球 [3]
infection • 只能在血液循環中存活數小時到數天 [4, 5]
• There are other types of WBC: eosinophil, • 通常是第一個到達受感染部位的細胞
basophil, lymphocyte and monocyte • 還有其他類型的白血球：嗜酸性球，嗜鹼性
Main function: 球，淋巴細胞和單核球
• Kill invading microbes by phagocytosis
(engulfing and digesting), degranulation 主要功能：
(releasing antimicrobial substances) and • 通過吞噬作用（吞沒及消化）、去顆粒作用
