Study Notes
Blood Cell Morphology
- Lymphocyte: Small, round cell with a dark-purple nucleus and light-pink cytoplasm.
- Basophil: Large cell with a dark purple/blue specific granules.
- Neutrophil: Multilobed nucleus (2-5 lobes) and light-pink cytoplasm with small granules. Grains are less conspicuous than those observed in eosinophils.
