-
- Basophils
- Deep blue granules in basic stain
- Similar to eosinophils in size and shape of nuclei
- Fewer cytoplasmic granules than eosinophils
- Bi-lobed nucleus
- Migrate to damaged tissue
- Release histamine, which promotes inflammation
- Release heparin, which inhibits blood clotting and increases blood flow to injured tissues
-
- Eosinophils
- Coarse, deep red granules in acid stain
- Bi-lobed nucleus
- Moderate allergic reactions
- Defend against parasitic worm infestations
- Elevated in parasitic worm infestations and allergic reactions
-
- Lymphocytes
- Slightly larger than RBC
- Large, spherical nucleus surrounded by thin rim of cytoplasm
- T cells directly attack microorganisms, tumor cells, and transplanted cells B cells produce
- B cells produce antibodies
- May live for years
-
- Monocytes
- Largest of all blood cells
- Spherical, kidney-shaped, oval or lobed nuclei
- Leave bloodstream to become macrophages
- Phagocytize bacteria, dead cells, and other debris
- Produced in red bone marrow
- Life span of several weeks to months
-
- Neutrophils
- Light purple granules in acid-base stain
- Lobed nucleus
- Elevated in bacterial infections
