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).
