Study Notes
White Blood Cells
- Mononuclear cells are a type of white blood cell that has a single nucleus.
- Leukopoiesis, the process of producing white blood cells, occurs in the bone marrow.
Granulocytes
- Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell characterized by the presence of granules.
- There are three types of granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
- Neutrophils have very fine granules.
- Granulocytes are phagocytic, meaning they can engulf and digest foreign particles.
Agranulocytes
- Agranulocytes are a type of white blood cell that lacks granules.
- There are two types of agranulocytes: lymphocytes and monocytes.
- Monocytes have a non-segmented nucleus.
- Lymphocytes are a type of agranulocyte that plays a key role in the immune system.
Blood Cell Production
- Erythropoiesis, the process of producing red blood cells, occurs in the bone marrow.
