Document Summary
Five types of white cells can be distinguished under a microscope, and this distinction depends on the shape and divisions of the nucleus and on the type pigment acquired by a cell. The leucocytes of the peripheral blood are two main varieties depending on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules , into : The formation of the neutrophil and monocyte phagocytes. Eosinophils and basophils are also formed in the marrow in a process similar to that for neutrophils. They have lobed nuclei, which typically consist of several rounded nuclear areas connected by thin strands of nuclear material. So it"s also known polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmn) as they have multilobular nuclei. The granulocytes spend about 10 hours in the circulation before moving into the tissues, where they perform their phagocytic function they then. It also has the advantage that it contains bacterial digestive enzymes, and it makes up the largest percentage of leukocytes, as its percentage is.
