How Well Can You Identify These Hematology And Clinical Microscopy Quiz

The correct answer identifies the cell as a myeloblast with nucleoli present but no granules. The incorrect answers provide different types of cells with varying characteristics to test the understanding of cell identification based on nucleoli and granules presence.

The correct answer identifies a promyelocyte as the cell in question, with nucleoli present, many red/purple granules, and limited motility. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are different types of cells with distinct characteristics, making them incorrect choices for this specific question.

The question refers to identifying a myelocyte based on specific characteristics such as its eccentric nucleus with no nucleoli, presence of 1 and 2 granules, and being the last cell capable of mitosis. The incorrect answers provided contain descriptions of other cell types found in the blood, highlighting the importance of recognizing the distinct features of each cell for proper identification.

The correct answer is a metamyelocyte which has an indented kidney bean-shaped nucleus, pink cytoplasm, and 2 granules. The incorrect answers provide characteristics of other types of cells found in the blood with different nuclei shapes, cytoplasm colors, and numbers of granules.

The correct answer is a band granulocyte, which has a distinct c-shaped nucleus with uniform width and exhibits full motility. Lymphocytes have a kidney-shaped nucleus and limited motility. Eosinophils have a multi-lobed nucleus and possess phagocytic activity. Neutrophils have an irregularly shaped nucleus and exhibit low phagocytic activity.

The correct answer is Neutrophil, which has a lifespan of 10 hours in the peripheral blood and 4-6 days in the tissues. Its main function is to defend the body from bacterial infections through phagocytosis. The incorrect options provided do not match the characteristics and function of Neutrophils.

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that primarily release antihistamines to reduce inflammation in the body. They also have a minor function of destroying parasites.

Basophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response by releasing histamine and heparin, which contribute to inflammation in the body. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and primarily function in phagocytosis. Lymphocytes are key players in the adaptive immune system, producing antibodies and coordinating immune responses. Eosinophils are specialized in combating parasitic infections and are also involved in allergic reactions.

Monoblasts are characterized by having 1-2 nucleoli, absence of granules, and the possibility of vacuoles. Neutrophils have granules present without vacuoles. Eosinophils lack nucleoli and vacuoles, with granules present. Basophils have granules and vacuoles with a single nucleoli.

The correct answer is Promonocyte, which has an irregular shape, an indented eccentric nucleus, vacuoles, fine pink granules, and variable motility. Erythrocytes do not have a nucleus, granules, or vacuoles. Neutrophils have a multilobed nucleus and granules but typically no vacuoles. Lymphocytes have a round nucleus and no granules or vacuoles.

The correct answer is Monocyte as it matches the description provided, including irregular nucleus, lack of nucleoli, granular- blue cytoplasm with small red-purple granules, numerous vacuoles, and high motility with pseudopods.

Lymphoblasts are immature white blood cells characterized by 1-2 nucleoli and the absence of granules. Myeloblasts lack nucleoli and have granules present. Erythroblasts have multiple nucleoli and no granules, whereas plasma cells have 1-2 nucleoli but do possess granules.

Prolymphocytes are a type of lymphocyte precursor with a relatively high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. The presence of occasional fine red granules is a characteristic feature that helps distinguish them from other cell types.

The question asks for the identification of a lymphocyte, with features including scant sky blue cytoplasm and few red granules. The major function of a lymphocyte is to regulate immune function, making the correct answer choice.

Megakaryocytes are large bone marrow cells responsible for platelet production. They are characterized by their many lobed nucleus, lack of nucleoli, abundant blue-pink cytoplasm, and presence of few granules.

The correct answer describes a pronormoblast, which is a precursor cell in the process of forming red blood cells. It is characterized by specific features such as a large round nucleus with 0-2 nucleoli, medium dark blue cytoplasm, and the absence of granules. The incorrect answers describe various types of white blood cells with distinct characteristics that differentiate them from a pronormoblast.

The blue-purple color in the cell is due to residual RNA staining, which is a characteristic feature of reticulocytes or polychromatic erythrocytes.

Polychromasia in erythrocytes indicates an increased production of immature red blood cells in response to a decreased hemoglobin level. This is a common finding in sideroblastic anemia where there is inadequate hemoglobin synthesis despite sufficient iron levels.
