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 shape of the nucleus of rbc?

Red blood cells (erythrocytes) do not have a nucleus. During their maturation process in the bone marrow, red blood cells expel their nucleus to make more space for hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen. This gives red blood cells their characteristic biconcave shape.


What blood cells have lobed nuclei and red cytoplasmic granules?

Neutrophils are blood cells that have lobed nuclei and red cytoplasmic granules. They are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's immune response by engulfing and destroying bacteria and other harmful organisms.


What is the structural characteristics of eosinophils and the white blood cell population?

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that contain granules with enzymes and proteins. They have a two-lobed nucleus and are classified as granulocytes due to the presence of these granules in their cytoplasm. In terms of white blood cell population, eosinophils typically make up around 1-6% of the total white blood cell count in the body.


What are the main functions of agranulocytes?

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.


How many lobes do eosinophils usually have in its nucleus?

Eosinophils have 2 lobes separated by a thin strand of chromatin whereas neutrophils have between 3 and 5 lobes. By knowing this it is easy to tell the difference (in a light microscope) between eosinophils and neutrophils in a blood smear.

Does macrophage have a nucleus?

Yes, phagocytes have a nucleus. Their nucleus is a bit different though, and is lobed, to allow room for the process of phagocytosis. This answer may be a little late, but I hope that this helps


What is the major difference of a red blood cell and a white blood cell?

The biggest difference is that a red blood cell has no nucleus where as a white blood cell does. A red blood cell has no nucleus because it needs all the space inside the cell for the haemoglobin which is stored inside it and is the oxygen attrcting chemical. White blood cells can have either a bean shaped nucleus which would make it a lymphocyte or a double lobed nucleus which would make it a phagocyte. Another difference is that white blood cells are bigger than red blood cells.


Do white blood cells have cells?

A white blood cell is a single cell so it could not be made up of other cells. It is instead, made up or organelles and other cell parts, like a cell membrane, cytoplasm and a lobed nucleus.


Does human blood cells have nucleus?

Yes, white blood cells do have nucleus. White blood cells are mainly of six types and each have a differently shaped nucleus.Granulocytes:Neutrophil - 3-4 lobed nucleusEosinophil - bilobed nucleusbasophil - partially constricted to 2 lobesLymphocyte - one large nucleusMonocyte - one kidney shaped nucleusMacrophage - one round nucleusnuclei and nucleus are the same but the nucleus is a pural, and yes white blood cell does have a nuclei that contain at least different kinds of shapes of nucleus:1> Neutrophil - 3-4 lobed nucleus2> Eosinophil - bilobed nucleus3> basophil - partially constricted to 2 lobes4> Lymphocyte - one large nucleus5> Monocyte - one kidney shaped nucleus6> Macrophage - one round nucleus

What does polymorphonucleated mean?

having a lobed nucleus.


What is the difference between granular and agranular white blood cells?

Granular Leukocytes account for about 50-70% of all WBCs, and include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Agranular Leukocytes account for 25-35% of all WBCs. They include lymphocytes and monocytes. Apart from the difference in function regarding each individual type of white blood cell, the primary difference between granular and agranular leukocytes is that the former has visible granules, whereas the later does on have any noticeable granules.


How differentiate between male and female blood film?

The most visible difference is that in the female white blood cells, there is a structure known as the drumstick which protrudes from the white blood cell's multi-lobed nuclei. This feature is not present in the male white blood cells
