| show | Five types of leukocytes, which are identified by granules and nucleus. Categorized by granulocytes and agranulocytes.
Granulocytes have granules in the cytoplasm and agranulocytes don't have granules.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Most common: make up 54-62% of leukocytes
Granulocytes with many large granules that remain neutral when stained. Nucleus has many lobes and segments. Develop in red marrow, eventually become immature band or stab.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Makes up 1-3% of leukocytes.
Granulocytes with many large granules. Granules stain pink when exposed to eosin. Nucleus has 2 lobes. Develop in red marrow from stem cells.
🗑

||||
| show | Least common: makes up 0.5-1% of leukocytes. Granulocytes with many large granules. Granules stain blue when exposed to hematoxylin. Nucleus has more than one lobe. Develop from stem cells in red marrow.

|
||||
| show | Makes up 25-335% of leukocytes. Agranulocytes. Nucleus fills most of cell. Develop from lymphoblasts.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Make up 3-7% of leukocytes. Largest type of leukocytes, agranulocytes. Nucleus is large and shaped like a kidney bean. Develop in marrow from stem cells and mature in stages.
🗑
