A
Platelets
B
RBC's
C
Eosinophils
D
Monocytes
High-Yield Explanation
The glucocoicoids are coisol and coicosterone. The glucocoicoids decrease the number of circulating eosinophils by increasing their sequestration in the spleen and lung. Glucocoicoids also lower the number of basophils in the circulation and increase the number of neutrophils, platelets and RBC. The typical effect of coisol on the white and red blood cell counts in human (cells/microlitre): Cell Normal Coisol-Treated Total WBC 9000 10000 PMNs 5760 8330 Lymphocytes 2370 1080 Eosinophils 270 20 Basophils 60 30 Monocytes 450 540 Ref: Barrett K.E., Barman S.M., Boitano S., Brooks H.L.
