LEUKOCYTES: A VISUAL TOUR
Laboratory Procedures
THERE ARE 5 WHITE BLOOD CELLS
Segmented Neutrophil Lymphocyte Monocyte Eosinophil Basophil
LET’S BREAK THEM DOWN!
Granulocytes Segmented Neutrophil Eosinophil Basophil
Agranulocytes Lymphocyte Monocyte
THE AGRANULOCYTES (NO GRANULES IN CYTOPLASM)
The Monocyte The Lymphocyte
If there appear to be granules in a Monocyte’s cytoplasm, it is probably debris from it’s last meal!
Look for vacuoles (Stomachs) to tell if it is a Monocyte.
THE GRANULOCYTES(HAVE GRANULES IN CYTOPLASM)
Segmented Neutrophils (there are 3 types) Basophils Eosinophils
On Basophils, the granules will stain BLUE On Eosinophils, the granules will stain RED Segmented Neutrophils granules are clear and
not readily visible when stained.
SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL (THE ADULT)
BAND CELL (THE “BABY” NEUTROPHIL)
HYPER-SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL (THE SENIOR CITIZEN)
LYMPHOCYTE (THE GUARD DOG)LARGE NUCLEUS
MONOCYTE (THE SCAVENGER) HAS VACUOLES
EOSINOPHIL (THE ALLERGY SLAYER)GRANULES STAIN RED
BASOPHIL (THE UNKNOWN STRANGER)GRANULES STAIN BLUE
LETS COMPARE!
