16
Q

Most abundant of WBCs; nucleus consists of 3 to 6 lobes with fine cytoplasmic granules; function as an active phagocyte

A

Neutrophils (40-70%)

17
Q

Nucleus is typically figure 8 shaped or bilobed; has large cytoplasmic granules; attack parasitic worms, and are involved in allergies and asthma

A

Eosinophils (2-4%)

18
Q

Least abundant leukocyte; large S or U shaped nucleus with two or more indentations; its cytoplasm has course, sparse granules; granules contain several chemicals such as histamines

A

Basophils (0.5-1%)

19
Q

Smallest of the leukocytes; Nucleus makes up most of its cell mass

A

Lymphocytes (20-40%)

20
Q

Lymphocytes are divided into two types:

A

B-Lymphocytes and T-Lymphocytes

21
Q

Largest of the leukocytes; Nucleus is typically kidney shaped; Within tissues, they convert to macrophages; they are responsible for chronic infections

A

Monocytes (3-8%)
