Any cell containing granules
a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection. The types of granulocytes include: basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils.
These are a group of white blood cells that have many and well-pigmented granules, and derive from the bone marrow myeloblasts. The granules are sources of digestive, immunologic, and inflammatory proteins. The classic granulocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils, but one should also include mast cells. Also, macrophages, which start out as agranulocytic monocytes but get lots of granules when they grow up.
White blood cells that contain stainable granules; examples include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
Granulocytes are WBCs that contain cytoplasmic granules. These include neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. These cells are produced in the bone marrow. When we count granulocytes we mainly estimate the neutrophil numbers and assume that an increased granulocyte count indicates a neutrophilia and a decreased count indicates a neutropenia.
immune system cells which contain granules
Granulocytes belong to the white blood cells and are part of the non-specific immune system. Especially, the neutrophils are important phagocytes.
Three granule-shape cells in blood or lymphatics; neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils.
a cell containing conspicuous granules.
A white blood cell featuring many granules, or particles, in its cell body. Types of granulocytes include neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils.
White blood cells containing granules that are visible with the light microscope; includes eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils; also called granular leukocytes.
A type of white cell which destroys foreign substances in the body such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
White blood cells that attack and destroy bacteria. (See neutrophils.)
A type of white blood cell which has a large number of granules in the cell body. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are types of granulocytes.
White blood cells (leukocytes), manufactured in the bone marrow, that contain granules. They destroy and digest bacteria.
White blood cells that help to protect you against bacterial infection; also called "polys", "segs", or neutrophils.
a granular leukocyte (white blood cell) filled with toxins that let them digest bacteria.
Types of white blood cells that attack bacteria by engulfing them. Eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils, and mast cells are types of granulocytes.
White blood cells that are very important in helping the body prevent and fight infections caused by bacteria.
A type of white blood cell that attacks and destroys foreign substances.
a type of white blood cells. The different types of granulocytes include: basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils.
infection-fighting white blood cells (also called polymorphonuclear cells, PMNs, or polys)
White blood cells filled with granules containing potent chemicals that allow the cells to digest microorganisms, or to produce inflammatory reactions. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are examples of granulocytes.
One type of white blood cell that destroys invading bacteria.
white blood cells that have granules containing enzymes and other substances that destroy the germs that cause infections. Monocytes, neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils are testicular cancer granulocytes
A type of white blood cell filled with microscopic granules that are little sacs containing enzymes, compounds that digest microorganisms.Granulocytes are part of the innate immune system and have somewhat nonspecific, broad-based activity. They do not respond exclusively to specific antigens, as do B-cells and T-cells.
White blood cells that defend body against foreign substances.
A white blood cell type of the immune system filled with granules of toxic chemicals that enable them to digest microorganisms. Basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, and PMNs are examples of granulocytes.
Sub-group of white blood corpuscles that are very important for the actual combating of infections.
Leukocytes with prominent granules; specifically: eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils
