neutrophil, eosinophil, and basophil.

Question 4

There are three types of mature granulocytes: the neutrophil, eosinophil, and basophil. These three cell lines are distinguishable from each other by the presence of specific granules that appear in the

Question 5

In general, as the granulocytes mature,

Answer 5

the nuclear chromatin becomes more condensed, nucleoli disappear,
abundant basophilic cytoplasm with non-specific granulation progresses to more scant cytoplasm containing granulation specific for the eosinophil, basophil, or neutrophil.
