Types of myeloid WBCs
Neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, basophils, monocyte/macrophage
Neutrophil (structure)
polymorphonuclear granulocyte
Neutrophil (% Total WBCs)
57-67%
Neutrophil (Function)
Early phagocytosis of pathogens
Neutrophil (Life span)
4 days
Eosinophils (structure)
Granulocyte, stains with eosin
Eosinophils (% Total WBCs)
1-4%
Eosinophils (Function)
Phagocytosis, responds to parasites (worms), involved in allergies
Eosinophils (Life Span)
8-12 days
Lymphocytes (Structure)
small cell, large nucleus
Lymphocytes (% Total WBCs)
25-33%
Lymphocytes (Function)
Adaptive immune responses, B-cells and T-cells
Lymphocytes (Life Span)
Days to decades
Basophils (Structure)
Granulocyte, stains with basic dyes
Basophils (% Total WBCs)
0-0.75%
Basophils (Function)
Similar to mast cells, secretes pro-inflammatory mediators, allergies
Basophils (Life Span)
Hours to Days
Macrophage (Structure)
Large, sometimes kidney shaped
Macrophage (% Total WBCs)
3-7%
Macrophage (Function)
Phagocytosis and antigen presentation
Macrophage (Life Span)
Months to years
