    Types of Leukocytes

    A comparison of types of leukocytes is given below:

     

    Neutrophils

    Eosinophils Basophils Lymphocytes

    Monocytes

    constitute about 60% of WBCs in blood, most abundant WBCs

    2.3% of WBCs are eosinophils constitute about 0.4% of WBCs constitute about 30% of WBCs 

    constitute about 5.3% of WBCs

    Two to five nuclear lobes are found

    The nucleus of eosinophils is bilobed

    Nucleus is three-lobed

    Possess spherical nucleus with scanty peripheral cytoplasm

    A large, single nucleus is found, mostly, kidney-shaped 

    The cytoplasm contains specific granules,  which can take up both acidic and basic stains

    coarse granules that take up acidic stains Granules are fewer and irregular in size and shape. These granules are coarse and they take up basic stains Granules are absent in the cytoplasm

    Granules are absent from the cytoplasm

    The microscopic policemen of blood

    increase in number during allergic reactions and helminthic infections can engulf antigen-antibody complexes These can release histamine, heparin etc Lymphocytes play an important role in immune reactions

    They can engulf bacteria and cellular debris
