WBC diff count Flashcards
(29 cards)
Size: Average of 12 um.
Generally smaller than monocytes and eosinophils, larger than lymphocytes
neutrophils
Has a **multilobed ** (3-5 lobes) nuclei and has lilac-colored granules in the cytoplasm
neutrophils
- Younger forms of a neutrophil
- Frequently the nuclei assumes a U-shape
- Reported separately in the differential count
Band Neutrophil
neutrophil has a normal value of?
60 - 70 %
Usually increased in bacterial infections
neutrophils
Size: Average 13 um. Generally slightly larger than the neutrophil, larger than the basophil and smaller than a monocyte.
eosinophils
- Bilobed nuclei
- Large red granules in the cytoplasm
eosinophils
eosinophil has a normal value of
3-5 %
Increased in drug allergies and parasitic infections.
eosinophils
Size: Generally smaller than neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes
* bilobed or trilobed nuclei
basophils
has large basophilic (dark blue) granules that are haphazardly arranged in the cytoplasm.
basophils
basophil has a normal value of?
0-1%
Size: 14 to 20 um. The largest of the leukocytes. Two to three times the diameter of an RBC
monocytes
Single nuclei, partially lobulated, deeply indented or horseshoe shaped.
monocytes
Abundant light gray cytoplasm sometimes with vacuolation
monocytes
monocytes has a normal value of?
1-4%
Size:** 6-10 um.** Generally smaller than the neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte and the basophil.
lymphocytes
Round nuclei that is deeply stained blue with visible chromatin.
lymphocytes
lymphocyte has a normal value of?
20-30%
- Sometimes the nuclei is indented.
- Scant to abundant cytoplasm generally without granules.
lymphocytes
- Usually larger than the normally seen leukocytes.
- Have a large, blue nuclei with scant cytoplasm.
- When one sees these these cells are counted as unidentified and should be referred for further evaluation
