Neuts are granulocytes. they have multi lobed or segmentes nucleus.

Function

Form the first line of defense against microbial infection.

Phagocytosis: The primary function is phagocytosis (eating of solids)

Eos are granulocytes with pink staining. the granules release anti-histamines.

Function

• Engulf bacteria they detoxifiy bacteria
• Controls inflammation

granulocyted with lavender/purple staining granules. they release histamine - heparin

function

• Induce inflammation
• Prevents blood from clotting

Mono are the largest WBC with vacuoles in the cytoplasm with ground glass  appearance to the cytoplasm

bean or "c" shaped indented nucleus

Function

• can engulf and destroy pathogens that cannot be effectively controoled by neutrophils.
• Helps provide immuntiy
• Phagocyotsis best in the body
• Pinocytosis : removal of liquid from imflammatory process.

Agranulocytes

Morophology: small, medium, large cells usually with a round nucleus and small amount of cytoplasm in the smaller cells.

Two types

T- cell : Very long lived cell 4 years

B-cell: live few hours to 3-4 days

Function

• T-cells : attach to invaders agents (antigens) and destorys them (kills virus)
• produces Immunoglobulins : antibodies
• B-Cells : synthesis (produce) of antibody against specific antigen
• provides defense against infection
• Memory cells : reproduce cells to kill antigen when they come again
• An increase number of lymphs is a indication of a viral infection.
