A Visual Tour of Leukocytes: Understanding White Blood Cells and Their Functions

Explore the fascinating world of leukocytes in this visual tour, highlighting the five main types of white blood cells: segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Discover the differences between granulocytes and agranulocytes, with detailed descriptions of each type. Learn to identify segmented neutrophils, their variants, and unique characteristics like staining properties and size comparisons. Understand the critical roles these cells play in our immune system. Join us for an engaging breakdown of the scavengers, allergy slayers, guard dogs, and more!

Presentation Transcript

  1. LEUKOCYTES: A VISUAL TOUR Laboratory Procedures

  2. THERE ARE 5 WHITE BLOOD CELLS • Segmented Neutrophil • Lymphocyte • Monocyte • Eosinophil • Basophil

  3. LET’S BREAK THEM DOWN! • Granulocytes • Segmented Neutrophil • Eosinophil • Basophil • Agranulocytes • Lymphocyte • Monocyte

  4. THE AGRANULOCYTES (NO GRANULES IN CYTOPLASM) • The Monocyte • The Lymphocyte • If there appear to be granules in a Monocyte’s cytoplasm, it is probably debris from it’s last meal! • Look for vacuoles (Stomachs) to tell if it is a Monocyte.

  5. THE GRANULOCYTES(HAVE GRANULES IN CYTOPLASM) • Segmented Neutrophils (there are 3 types) • Basophils • Eosinophils • On Basophils, the granules will stain BLUE • On Eosinophils, the granules will stain RED • Segmented Neutrophils granules are clear and not readily visible when stained.

  6. SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL (THE ADULT)

  7. BAND CELL (THE “BABY” NEUTROPHIL)

  8. HYPER-SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL (THE SENIOR CITIZEN)

  9. LYMPHOCYTE (THE GUARD DOG)LARGE NUCLEUS

  10. MONOCYTE (THE SCAVENGER) HAS VACUOLES

  11. EOSINOPHIL (THE ALLERGY SLAYER)GRANULES STAIN RED

  12. BASOPHIL (THE UNKNOWN STRANGER)GRANULES STAIN BLUE

  13. LETS COMPARE!

  14. SIZE COMPARISON
