Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basophils contain a U- or an S-shaped nucleus and granules that stain very dark. They release histamine and heparin.

Answer: B
 Eosinophils have a two-lobed nucleus and granules that stain red with eosin. They are involved in immune response to parasites and allergic reactions.

Answer: C
 Neutrophils have a multi-lobed nucleus and granules that do not stain strongly. They are the most common type of white blood cell and are involved in fighting bacterial infections.

Answer: D
 Monocytes have a single, kidney-shaped nucleus and are the largest type of white blood cell. They play a role in immune defense and can differentiate into macrophages, which engulf and destroy foreign particles.

Answer: E
 Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, do not have a nucleus and do not contain granules. They are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
