Granulocytes can be identified when their cytoplasmic granules are stained with Wright's stain. Agranulocytes do not have cytoplasmic granules so they will not have stained granules.
Macrophages.
The two categories are granulocytes and agranulocytes. Granulocytes have visible cytoplasmic granules. Examples of granulocytes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Agranulocytes have no visible cytoplasmic granules. Eamples of agranulocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes.
White blood cells
Agranulocytes lack granules in their cytoplasm , thus hey can be differentiated fro granulocytes .They defend our body .
Granulocytes - which consist of neutrophils and eosinophils Agranulocytes - which consist of lymphocytes and monocytes
Eosinophils are one kind of white blood cells. they particularly belong to the granulocyte group. WBCs are grouped into two: granulocyte and agranulocytes. under granulocytes you have basophils, neutrophils and eosinophils. under agranulocytes you have lymphocytes and monocytes.
There are five types of white blood cells. There are the lymphocytes (also called B and T cells), monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Refer to the related links below for an illustration of the different white blood cells.
Leucocytes are also referred to as white blood cells. . Which include granulocytes and agranulocytes, they include monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes. They are protective against infection.
Neutrophils are the only granulocytes that phagocytize bacteria. (Granuloctyes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.) Eosinophils do NOT phagocytize (eat); they kill parasidic worms by releasing enzymes and chemicals that create holes in the cells' membranes. Two types of agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. Monocytes function in phagocytosis. Also, monocytes turn into macrophages in tissues.
White blood cells, or leukocytes, lack hemoglobin. Each white blood cell type is named according to its appearance in stained preparations. Those containing large cytoplasmic granules are granulocytes and those with very small granules that cannot be easily seen are agranulocytes. There are three kinds of granulocytes: neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cells. Neutrophils also secrete a class of enzymes called lysozymes which are capable of destroying certain bacteria. Agranulocytes are also called lymphocytes and are involved in immunity.
Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN or PML) because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments. Granulocytes or PMN are released from the bone marrow by the regulatory complement proteins.
