What are leucocytes? Mention their different kinds. |
|
Answer» Leucocytes are known as white blood cells (WBC). They are oval/rounded or irregular in shape. WBCs have nuclei but are devoid of haemoglobin. They are of two kinds: (1) granulocytes, and (2) agranulocytes. Granulocytes possess granules of varying sizes and have lobed nuclei. They are of three kinds: (1) basophils, (2) acidophils, (3) neutrophils based on the staining feature. Monocytes and lymphocytes are two types of agranulocytes. They are non-granular and always have only one nuclei in individual cell. |
