what are platlets?
small non-nucleated discs formed in the red bone marrow.

what do they contain?
nuclei, and some have granules in their cytoplasm.

granulocytes- (eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils) and Agranulocytes (monocytes and lympocytes)
15 of 20
what is the composision of the granulocytes ?
contain multi-lobed nuclei and granules in their cytoplasm.
16 of 20
what is the composition of Agranulocytes?
they contain a large nucleus and have NO granules in their cytoplasm
17 of 20
using the pictures which one is the eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil, erythrocytes, platlets, monocyte, lymphocyte?
show pictures
18 of 20
why do erythrocytes have their characteristic shape?
being biconcave inccreases their surface area which increases their ability for transporting oxygen.

birds have a nuclues and are an oval shape and mammals dont have a nuclues and are a rounded shape.
