Question

write a paragraph to describe the white blood cell and red blood cell morphology from monocytosis slide (blood smear slide)?

Answer 1

White blood cells are found throughout the body. They are also found in the blood and lymphatic system. They have nuclei, which separates them from the other blood cells. White blood cells can be classified either by structure (granulocytes or agranulocytes) or by cell lineage (myeloid cells or lymphoid cells). They can further be divided into five types, these are: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Granulocytes can be separated from agranulocytes by the shape of their nucleus (lobed versus round) and by the presence of cytoplasm granules (present or absent). On the other hand, red blood cells (RBCs) are biconcave, disc-shaped with a pale-staining central area called the central pallor. They are anuclear cells that can be measured around 7-8 microns in diameter. When the appearance of RBCs is normal, it is called as normochromic (normal color) and normocytic (normal size). The cytoplasm of erythrocytes is rich in hemoglobin that is an iron-containing biomolecule.
