Absence of Color Blood Cells

So this week in class, we learned about blood. I have encountered a lot of the words before, but I was definitely learning a lot of new terms. I also looked ahead in the notes and I'm encountering many unfamiliar words.





Granulocytes - these are white blood cells that have granules in their cytoplasm. Examples of these are eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils.

Agranulocytes - these are white blood cells that do not have granules in their cytoplasm. Examples of these are lymphocytes and monocytes.








Sinusoid - These are unique blood vessels that are actually classified as open pore capillaries. They are commonly found in the bone and spleen.








Megakaryoblast - this cell is involved in hematopoiesis. It develops into a promegakaryocyte and then a megakaryocyte.
