A polymorphonuclear white blood cell (as a basophil, eosinophil, or neutrophil) with granule-containing cytoplasm.
Category of white blood cell distinguished by conspicuous cytoplasmic granules. Includes neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils.
Sub-class of white cells, so named because of the presence of granules in the cell. These cells protect the body against bacterial infection. Also called Neutrophils or Polys
Any of several types of white blood cells with a granular cytoplasm.
One type of white blood cell that contains granules in the cytoplasm; a polymorphonuclear leukocyte.
white blood cell that helps destroy harmful germs
polymorphonuclear leukocyte, a white blood cell.
a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections; also known as a neutrophil.
A subtype of leukocytes, which can be further distinguished into neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils.
any cell containing granules in its cytoplasm, especially a leukocyte (neutrophil, basophil, or eosinophil)
A white blood cell that contains specific cytoplasmic granules (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils); these granules are peroxidase positive.
A cell type of the immune system filled with granules of toxic chemicals that enable them to digest microorganisms. Basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils are examples of granulocytes. See also Basophil; Eosinophil; Neutrophil.
any of a group of white blood cells having granules in the cytoplasm
a type of white blood cell. They protect the body against infection by seeking out and killing micro-organisms.
Type of white blood cell important in fighting infection. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granulocyte.
a leukocyte that has granules in its cytoplasm
a leukocyte, or white blood cell, characterized by the presence of cytoplasmic granules
a white blood cell that helps fight infection
a type of white blood cell that fights bacterial infection or foreign substances. They congregate around, engulf, and destroy the offending object in a process called phagocytosis. Granulocytes then die and are ingested by monocytes. (A granulocyte is also called a neutrophil).
(GRAN-yoo-loe-site) White blood cell that contains many granular particles in its cytoplasm (the complex of chemical compounds and structures within a cell, excluding the nucleus)
one of the major groups of white blood cells. Includes three types of cells: neutrophils (segs and bands), eosinophils and basophils.
The most common type of white blood cell. Its function is to kill bacteria. This cell is also called a neutrophil, poly, PMN.
A type of white blood cell responsible for engulfing and digesting micro-organisms. Granulocytes consist of three types of phagocytic, or cell-eating, cells: basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils.
Can be any cell containing granules; however, is most often referring to a mature leukocyte containing neutrophilic, basophilic, or eosinophilic granules in its cytoplasm.

A type of white blood cell produced in the bone marrow.
A type of white blood cells that kills bacteria.
A white blood cell which contains granules, or small pockets of chemicals which, under a microscope, look somewhat similar in shape to grains of sand. Basophils, eosinophils, mast cells, myelocytes, and neutrophils are all kinds of granulocytes.
A term for any of the white blood cell types that have granules containing enzymes to help fight infection: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
A leukocyte (white blood cell) that contains granules in its cytoplasm.
A circulating white blood cell having prominent granules in the cytoplasm and a nucleus of two or more lobes.
a type of white blood cell (basophil, eosinophil, neutrophil) that contains granules of toxic chemicals that are released to fight microorganisms.
Any one of these three types of white blood cells: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils; so called because they have granules that contain enzymes to help fight infection.
Type of white blood cell filled with granules of chemicals that digest bacteria and other foreign particles in the body.
category of white blood cell containing granules, including neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils.
a white cell of the immune system characterized by the ability to ingest (phagocytize) foreign material. A granulocyte is identified under the microscope by the presence of many granules. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are examples of granulocytes.
A type of white blood cell also called a neutrophil. These cells are important in fighting bacterial and fungal infections.
A type of white blood cell. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are granulocytes.
Type of white blood cell; includes the basophil, eosinophil, and neutrophil (or poly), which is the infection-fighting cell.
One of the three types of white blood cells (the others being monocytes and lymphocytes), so called because they have granules that contain enzymes that help fight infection.
A lymph cell having granules in its cyto-plasm. The nucleus is multilobed. There are three types: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
A type of white blood cell filled with granules of compounds that digest infectious agents. Granulocytes are part of the innate immune system and have broad-based activity.
Type of white blood cell; one example is a neutrophil.
A type of white blood cell that kills bacteria.

Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterised by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN or PML) because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments. In common parlance, the term polymorphonuclear leukocyte often refers specifically to neutrophil granulocytes, the most abundant of the granulocytes.
