What are no visible cytoplasmic granules found in?
No visible cytoplasmic granules are found in red blood cells, which lack organelles such as granules or a nucleus.
Is a monocyte granular or agranular?
Monocytes are agranular leukocytes, meaning they do not contain granules in their cytoplasm.
What are two main categories of leukocytes?
The two categories are granulocytes and agranulocytes. Granulocytes have visible cytoplasmic granules. Examples of granulocytes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Agranulocytes have no visible cytoplasmic granules. Eamples of agranulocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes.
How can granulocytes be identified from agranulocytes?
Granulocytes can be identified when their cytoplasmic granules are stained with Wright's stain. Agranulocytes do not have cytoplasmic granules so they will not have stained granules.
What is the structure of characteristics?
They have fine cytoplasmic granules that appear light purplr with a combination of acidand base stains. Neutrophils account for 54 to 62% of the leukocytes in a typical blood sample
What is the characteristic of neutrophil?
They have fine cytoplasmic granules that appear light purplr with a combination of acidand base stains. Neutrophils account for 54 to 62% of the leukocytes in a typical blood sample
What is structural characteristic of monocyte?
Neutrophils have a multilobed nucleus that can appear to be multiple nuclei. The granules of a neutrophil are very fine and stain a pale lavender.
What leukocytes have fine reddish violet granules and contain lysozyme?
neutrophils
What is a basophil?
A basophil is a cell which has granules stained by basic stains, especially granular leukocytes.
What blood cells have lobed nuclei and red cytoplasmic granules?
Neutrophils are blood cells that have lobed nuclei and red cytoplasmic granules. They are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's immune response by engulfing and destroying bacteria and other harmful organisms.
What is the difference between granular and non-granular leukocytes?
The difference is that granular leukocytes have granules in their cytoplasm while non-granular do not. Also granular leukocytes, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils respond to non-specific immunity and their main job is to digest pathogens. The non-granular leukocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes and they are part of the specific immune response of the body. The are called non-granular because their cytoplasm is clear and does not contain granules that show up with the addition of stain or dyes.
All leukocytes contain only a single nucleus so when observed under a microscope why does it appear that some of the leukocytes have more than one nucleus?
Some leukocytes, such as neutrophils, can have segmented nuclei that appear as multiple lobes. These segmented nuclei can give the appearance of multiple nuclei when observed under a microscope. This characteristic is known as polymorphism, and it is a normal feature of certain types of leukocytes.
