Idetify the leukocyte(s) shown in this slide
Monocyte on the left
Neutriphil on the right
(note: multi-lobed dark-staining nucleus, lilac cytoplasm, and fine granules)
(note: kidney shaped, dark blue nucleus and no granules)
Identify the Leukocyte in this slide
Eosinophil
(note:bi-lobed nucles and red cytoplasmic granules)
Identify the Leukocyte in this slide
Lymphocyte
(note: dark purple, large, sperical nucleus which take up most of the cell,
almost the same size as RBCs,
sparse amount of light blue cytoplasm “rimming” nucleus)
Identify the Leukocyte in this slide
Basophil
(note: U or S shaped nucleus and very dark coarse granules)
What Leukocyte is shown?
What does it protect against?
Neutrophil
Functions as an active phagocyte.
Phagocytizes pathogens, especially bacteria.
(note: multi-lobed dark-staining nucleus, lilac cytoplasm, and fine granules)
What Leukocyte is shown?
What does it protect against?
Monocyte
Becomes macrophages in tissues to phagocytize pathogens,
cell fragments, and debris
(note: kidney shaped, dark blue nucleus and no granules)
