Band (Stab or Staff Cell)
Segmented Neutrophils
Eosinophil
10-16
Basophil
Basophilic & scanty non-granular
Myeloblast
Basophilic & abundant
Promyelocyte
Primary granules start to appear
Promyelocyte
moderate amount w/ few specific granules
Myelocyte
Secondary granules start to appear
Myelocyte
Moderate to abundant w/ Specific granules (N, E, B) - insignificant cytoplasm
Metamyelocyte
Specific granules
Band
grainy cytoplasm (pink/rose-pink violet granules)
Segmented Neutrophils
red-orange refractile granules
Eosinophil
Sp. Granules contain histaminase (anti-parasitic), peroxidase (cyanide resistant), B-glucuronidase, arysulfatase, acid phosphatase (ACP), phospholipase, ribonuclease & cathepsin
Eosinophil
with few, large, densely-stained, dark purple to blue-black granules
Basophil
Granules contain heparin, Serotonin, peroxidase, histamine
Basophil
NUCLEOLI: 2-5
Myeloblast
NUCLEOLI: 2-3
Promyelocyte
NUCLEOLI: 3-4
Segmented Neutrophils
(+) Non-Sp. Esterase, Peroxidase, & Sudan B
Myeloblast
Counted w/ CBC
Band
Counter part: Retics
Band
Thick w/o filament formation
Band
Larger than RBC
Segmented Neutrophils
Similar to band
Eosinophil
Romanowsky Stain - stains early myelocytes to determine early maturation)
Eosinophil
- primarily in allergic rx
Basophil
Round or slightly oval Fine chromatin
Myeloblast
Oval to round Slightly coarser chromatin pattern
Promyelocyte
Oval to round Coarse chromatin
Myelocyte
Indented/kidney-bean shaped
Metamyelocyte
Coarse & clumped chromatin
Metamyelocyte
Band
Segmented Neutrophils
Eosinophil
Elongated or band-shaped
Band
Usually band or bilobed
Eosinophil
round, indented, band or bilobed w/ smudged chromatin pattern
Basophil
hypersensitivity - excessive release of granules causing VASOCONSTRICTION
histamine
stimulates chemotaxis
chemotactic factor a

IL-5
CSF-GM
Primarily in allergic rx
Basophil
Water-soluble
Basophil
