WBC Cell Types

Question 1

Neutrophil

Answer 1

-Globed-nucleus
-2-5 lobes visible
-About 2x size of RBC
-54-62% of blood
-Phagocytosis of small particles= Virus bond by antibodies
Debris

Question 2

Basophil

Answer 2

Stains blue/purple
So many grraunules, the nucleus is hard to see
About 2x size of RBC
<1%
Releases
Heparin→ anticoagulant
Histamine→ inflammation

Question 3

Eosinophil

Answer 3

Deep red in color, or purple
2 lobed nuclei
Dark red granules
About 2x size of RBC’s
1-3%
Kills parasites, controls inflammatory response, allergic responses

Question 4

Lymphocyte

Answer 4

Close to the size of RBC’s
Large, round nucleus, takes up entire cell
Almost no cytoplasm
25-33%
Immune response, antibody production → B+T Cells

Question 5

Monocyte

Answer 5

Big babies( fetus shaped nucleus
Largest of WBc’s
Nucleus is rounded, kidney shaped
3-9%
Phagocytosis of large particles→ bacteria
