Answer 11

Agranulocytes

Question 12

A platelet is a cell fragment and lacks what?

Answer 12

A nucleus

Question 13

What is the most numerous white blood cell?

Answer 13

Neutrophils

Question 14

What is the function of red blood cells?

Answer 14

Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Question 15

What is the oxygen carrying substance in a red blood cell?

Answer 15

Hemoglobin

Question 16

This lacks a nucleus, is a biconcave disc, and a thin center that is almost hollow.

Answer 16

Red Blood Cells

Question 17

This is slightly larger than RBCs, and the rim is nearly clear cytoplasm. In smaller ones the nearly round nucleus appears to fill most of the cell. In larger ones it’s hard to distinguish these from monocytes.

Answer 17

Lymphocytes

Question 17

This is the largest WBC, and it’s 2-3x larger than RBCs. The cytoplasm is nearly clear. The nucleus is either round, kidney shaped, oval, or lobed.

Answer 17

Monocytes

Question 18

This is a cell fragment and is in single to small clusters.

Answer 18

Platelets

Question 19

These have fine, light purple granules. The nucleus is single to five lobes (highly variable). Immature ones are called bands and have a C shaped nucleus. Mature ones are called segs and have a lobed nucleus. They’re often called polymorphonuclear leukocytes when they’re older.

Answer 19

Neutrophils

Question 20

These have course, reddish granules, and the nucleus is usually bilobed.

Answer 20

Eosinophils

Question 21

These have course, deep blue to almost black granules. The nucleus is almost hidden by the granules.

Answer 21

Basophils

Question 22

Which granulocyte phagocytizes small particles?

Answer 22

Neutrophils

Question 23

Which granulocyte releases heparin and histamine?

Answer 23

Question 24

Which granulocyte destroys parasites, and helps control inflammation and allergic reactions?

Answer 24

Eosinophils

Question 25

Which agranulocyte provides immunity?

Answer 25

Lymphocyte

Which agranulocyte phagocytizes large particles?

Answer 26

Monocytes

Question 27

What's another name for a platelet?
