Leukocytes are stained and counted under a microscope to see numbers of mature and immature forms?
white blood cell differential
Phagocytes are white blood cells with a lobed nucleus?
Macrophages. Macrophages are monocytes that have gained the ability to phagocytize bacteria in the tissues. They are agranular because, when stained, they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. This is just a classification of leukocytes (or white blood cells).
Are leukocytes nucleated?
Yes Leukocytes are nucleated.
What bacteria does the leukocytes eat?
Leukocytes don't eat good bacteria which is helpful and does good things to the body. Leukocytes eat bad bacteria which is harmful and makes people sick.
What microscopic structure other than bacteria can be gram stained?
This process is used as a screening test for bacteria only.
Leukocytes are stained and counted under a microscope to see numbers of mature and immature forms?
white blood cell differential
What is a basophil?
A basophil is a cell which has granules stained by basic stains, especially granular leukocytes.
Why must the WBCs be stained when performing a differential cell count?
Because leukocytes are clear and colorless, they must be stained with an appropriate dye before a differential count is performed
What process are leukocytes involved in?
fighting infections
By what process do leukocytes absorb entire bacteria?
Phagocytosis
What is a differential leukocyte level?
Leukocytes are white blood cells. There are different kinds of leukocytes, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. During a differential leukocyte count, 100 white blood cells are counted on a Wright stained blood smear using a microscope and assigned to one type. The percent of leukocytes that fall into each type can be used to indicate what disease or condition a patient has. An increased number of neutrophils may indicate a bacterial infection. The presence of cancerous cells can also be determined.
Some leukocytes absorb entire bacteria by the process of?
Phagocytosis
Phagocytes are white blood cells with a lobed nucleus?
Macrophages. Macrophages are monocytes that have gained the ability to phagocytize bacteria in the tissues. They are agranular because, when stained, they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. This is just a classification of leukocytes (or white blood cells).
What is the name of the process where leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls?
Diapedesis
What effect does chemotactic factor have on the inflammatory process?
It directs leukocytes to the inflamed area
What is the leukocyte distinguished by having distinctive red stained granules?
Eosinophils are the granular leukocytes that stain red. They are important elements of the body's immune defense against pathogens and allergens.
What do leukocytes feed on to survive?
Leukocytes are part of the body, not separate organisms. As such they obtain their energy by metabolizing the sugars in the blood stream to produce needed energy. Strictly speaking, they do not "feed on" anything. They absorb and process sugars.
