1. Specific granules
2. Azurophilic granules
3. Tertiary granules
What are the functions of neutrophils? (3)
1. Migrate to site of infection- chemotaxis
2. Phagocytose-- release hydrolytic enzymes
3. Release leukotrienes-- initiate inflammatory response
Which type of WBC has a sausage-shaped bilobed nuclues?
Eosinophils
Eosinophils have receptors for?
1. IgG
2. IgE
3. complement
What type of granules are found in eosinophils?
1. Specific granules
2. Non-specific granules-- lysosomes
Which type of WBC has specific granules that have enzymes to combat parasitic infections?
Eosinophils
What are the functions of eosinophils? (4)
1. Migrate by chemotaxis- allergic rxns, inflammation or parasite
2. Degranulation on surface of worms, release ROS
3. Counteract effects of histamines & leukotrienes
4. Engulf Ab-Ag compounds for degredation
Which type of WBC has an S shaped nucleus?
Basophils
What is found in the specific granules of basophils?
Heparin, histamine, chemotactic factors for eosinophils & neutrophils
What are the functions of basophils? (4)
1. IgE from plasma cells bind --> next time Ag is encountered they can bind
2. Bind IgE --> degranulation
3. Release factors to mediate inflammation
4. Histamine --> vasodilation, SM contraction & leaky vessels

Lymphocytes
What are the 3 types lymphocytes?
1. B cells
2. T cells
3. Null cells
Which type of lymphocytes are most common in circulation?
T cells
What is the function of null cells?
Some become natural killer cells --> kill & alter cells
