Neutropenia (Low Neutrophil Count). Neutropenia is a low white blood cell count. Neutrophils are one type of white blood cell. White blood cells help the body fight infection. People with neutropenia have a low number of these white blood cells, so it is harder for their bodies to fight infection. Neutropenia can be caused by chemotherapy and radiation treatments to areas of the body that produce blood cells. In addition, some cancers may cause a decrease in the bodyâs ability to form normal new neutrophils. When you have a low neutrophil count, it is very important to protect yourself against infection.
Granite /ËÉ¡raenÉ¨t/ ËÉ¡rÃ¦nÉ¨t is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in. Texture granites can be predominantly, white, pink or gray in, color depending on their. mineralogy
Granite is an igneous rock composed of mostly two minerals: quartz and feldspar. It is an intrusive rock, meaning that it crystallized from magma that cooled far below the earth's surface.Its name is derived from the Latin word 'granum', which means 'grain', a reference to the easily-seen minerals in the rock.ranite contains mostly quartz and orthoclase feldspar; other minerals make up less than half of the rock. The magma that crystallizes into granite likely forms in the upper mantle or lower lithosphere, where other rocks partially melt. Granite is used in buildings and some granite is mined for rare elements.
