It can be expressed as a percentage (relative numbers of each type of WBC in relationship to the total WBC ) or as an absolute value (percentage x total WBC). Of these, the absolute value is much more important than the relative value.

There are five basic white blood cell types:

1. Neutrophils

3. Basophils
4. Lymphocytes
5. Monocytes

Each WBC cell type has its' own unique features.
