Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell (WBC). WBC's are the main cellular portion of your immune system. WBC's can be broken into 5 categories: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Normal mature neutrophils in your blood can also be referred to as "segs" or "segmented neutrophils". They are phagocytes and acute responders of the immune system. In a healthy patient, a person's total WBC's will be around 50-60ish% neutrophils (the exact normal reference range depends on the lab).

∙ 7y agoNeutrophils are the most numerous leukocytes and they are very phagocytic. They are also known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs or polys). Their granules become lilac in colour when stained and they contain hydrolytic enzymes or defensins. A neutrophil has 3-6 lobes in its nucleus and these cells are generally twice the size of red blood cells.
