Question 0

Leukocytes in the granular category have:

Answer 0

Granules in the cytoplasm and lobed or segmented nuclei

Question 1

White blood cells are divided into two general categories on their basis of their histological appearance:

Answer 1

Granular (or polymorphonuclear)

And agranular

Question 2

Leukocytes in the agranular category

Answer 2

Lack visible cytoplasmic granules and have unlobed nuclei

Question 3

Granular Leukocytes are distinguished by their

Answer 3

Affinity for specific stains

Question 4

Eosinophils stain

Answer 4

Bright red

Question 5

Basophils

Answer 5

Stain dark blue

Question 6

Neutrophils

Answer 6

Are clear.

Due to their low affinity for staining

Question 7

Granular Leukocytes contain:

Answer 7

Eosinophils

Basophils

Neutrophils

Question 8

Agranular Leukocytes include:

Answer 8

Lymphocytes &

Monocytes

Question 9

Lymphocytes

Answer 9

Are easily identified by their round nuclei and scant cytoplasm

Question 10

Monocytes

Answer 10

Are also identified by their appearance of short, blunt, cytoplasmic extensions. However, monocytes are much larger then lymphocytes

Question 11

Leukocytes (WBCs) can leave the vascular system and enter the connective tissue of the body by

Answer 11

Squeezing through capillaries

This is known as diapedesis or extravasation

Question 12

What happens during inflammation?

Answer 12

Histamine is released from tissue mast cells and basophils. Histamine increases the permeability of the capillaries- promoting diapedesis.

Question 13

Neutrophils and eosinophils destroy the invading pathogens

Answer 13

Phangocytosis
