Question

Define about 8 granulocytes and its types

Answer 1

Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are also called polymorponuclear leukocytes because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments. This distinguishes them from the mononuclear agarnaulocytes. In common parlance, the term polymorphonuclear leukocyte often refers specifically to "neutrophils granulocytes", the most abundant of the granulocytes; the other types ( mast cells) have lower numbers. Granulocytes are produced via granulopoiesis in the bone marrow. Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments.
