No, monocytes and thrombocytes are not the same. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, helping to fight infections and remove debris from the body. Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, are small cell fragments that play a crucial role in blood clotting and wound healing. While both are essential components of the blood, they serve very different functions.
No thrombocytes are platlets used for blood clotting.
thrombocytes
monocytes are elevated in infections like tuberculosis
Monocytes mature into different types of macrophages.
Thrombocytes contain an occasionally active thrombin protein.
Thrombocytes are platelets, derived from fragmentation of megakaryocytes. They are not white blood cells.
Monocytes are one of the classes of white blood cells. Absolute means the count your saw was the number of monocytes, not the percentage. If they're high, you may have an infection such as mono.
No they are not. Granculocytes have granules e.g. neutrophil. Lymphocytes and monocytes do not.
Monocytes may be elevated in chronic inflammation.
Macrophages arise from circulating monocytes in the bloodstream. Upon reaching tissues, monocytes mature into macrophages, which play a key role in the immune response by phagocytizing pathogens and debris, and regulating inflammation and immune system activation.
MACROPHAGES (Some Monocytes enter tissue, enlarge, and Mature into Macrophages).
