Explain the Types of White Blood Cells
White blood cells are actually a whole collection of different cells that work together to destroy bacteria and viruses. You may recall studying earlier that the white blood cells are primarily of two types:
1) Granulocytes: Their cytoplasm has granules. The nucleus is lobed and these include:
Neutrophils: Generally three lobes, but may have 2-5 lobes
Eosinophils: Generally bilobed
Basophils: Generally bilobed
2) Agranulocytes: Their cytoplasm has no granules. These include:
Monocytes: Nucleus - kidney shaped.
Lymphocytes: Large nucleus.
