1.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
B. Eosinophil
Explanation
The white blood cell pictured is an EOSINOPHIL. The granules are plentiful and stain red(erubescent). The nucleus stains blue. Memorization aid: ERUBESCENT EOSINOPHIL
2.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
A. Eosinophil
Explanation
The correct answer is Eosinophil. Eosinophils are a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, that are involved in the immune response against parasites and allergic reactions. They are characterized by their granules that contain enzymes and proteins involved in killing parasites and modulating inflammation. In the given picture, the cell shown exhibits the characteristic morphology of an eosinophil, with a bilobed nucleus and large granules in the cytoplasm. Therefore, the correct answer is Eosinophil.
3.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
C. Basophil
Explanation
The correct answer is Basophil. Basophils are a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, that are responsible for triggering allergic reactions and releasing histamine. They are characterized by their dark-staining granules in the cytoplasm, which can be seen in the picture. Eosinophils, monocytes, and neutrophils are also types of leukocytes, but they have different characteristics and functions.
4.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
D. Lymphocyte
Explanation
The given image shows a lymphocyte. Lymphocytes are a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are responsible for recognizing and destroying foreign substances in the body, such as viruses or bacteria. Lymphocytes are characterized by their round shape and large nucleus, which can be seen in the image.
5.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
B. Lymphocyte
Explanation
The picture shows a lymphocyte. Lymphocytes are a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell, that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are responsible for recognizing and attacking foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses, in the body. Lymphocytes are characterized by their large, round nucleus and small amount of cytoplasm. They are an essential component of the body's defense against infections and diseases.
6.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
E. Monocyte
Explanation
The white blood cell pictured is a MONOCYTE. It is the largest of the white blood cells. Notice the curved shape of the Nucleus. Memorization aid: MOST MASSIVE MONOCYTE.
7.
What is the Leukocyte pictured below?
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
D. Basophil
Explanation
This Leukocyte is a basophil. The white blood cell granules stain blue/black and appear to be showing through the Nucleus, giving it a "ghost-like" appearance. Memorization aid: BLUE BOO BASOPHIL.
8.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
C. Neutrophil
Explanation
This Leukocyte is a NEUTROPHIL. Its granules stain light-pink and light-purple. The one pictured a segmented (seg) neutrophil, a.k.a: polymorpho-nuclear leukocyte. Memorization aid: PINK NEUTROPHIL! NOT RED!
9.
What type of leukocyte is pictured above?
Correct Answer
B. Lymphocyte
Explanation
This Leukocyte is a LYMPHOCYTE. The lymphocyte has a LARGE nucleus with little cytoplasm. Memorization aid: LARGE NUCLEUS LYMPHOCYTE
10.
What are the PURPLE specs in this picture?
Correct Answer
A. Platelet
Explanation
The correct answer is "Platelet" because purple specs are typically associated with platelets in a blood sample. Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments that help in blood clotting. They can appear as purple specs when observed under a microscope. Red blood cells, on the other hand, are usually red in color and do not appear as purple specs. Therefore, the correct answer is platelet.
