Answer:

speeding transmissions of nerve impulses to detect bacterias.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leukocytes or white blood cells (neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils and lymphocytes) are produced in the bone marrow and have the function of fighting viruses, germs and bacteria in the blood system. Healthy people usually have a count of 7,500 leukocytes per cubic millimeter of blood; Adding more than 11,000 leukocytes per cubic millimeter of blood is called leukocytosis. This may indicate that the body requires more leukocytes in peripheral blood for an infection, for an inflammation by hyperproduction of these cells in the bone marrow. The latter may indicate a leukemia.
