Definitions and characteristics of various types of blood cells, including neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, thrombocytes, and hematological indices in dogs, cats, horses, and cows. It includes information on cell size, shape, nucleus appearance, cytoplasm staining, and normal values for blood volume, packed cell volume (pcv), hemoglobin (hgb), erythrocyte (rbc) count, mean corpuscular volume (mcv), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (mch), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (mchc).

Granulocyte Somewhat larger than the RBCs Densely stained clomped nucleus may be elongated or constricted- Polymorphonuclear Cytoplasm is clear to pale blue with many scattered pink granules TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 Granulocyte Somewhat larger than Neutrophils and RBCs Nucleus may be bi or tri-lobed. Cytoplasm is pale blue but difficult to see due to the granules. Granules here attract eosin from the stain and thus should be compared to the color of the RBCs around the cell. May be lighter in color than the RBCs. TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 Granulocyte Very rare in blood stains. Same size as neutrophils. Elongated and sightly indented nucleus with less densly stained chromatin. Cytoplasm is full of granules stained light to dark purple or maybe even black. TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 Agranulocyte most common in ruminants and rodents. Can shift shape from small to large accordingly. Scanty, blue staining cytoplasm which is hardly detectable. TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 Agranulocyte and largest of the cells. Similar in appearance in all common species Pleomorphic nucleus Fine, lacy, smooth cytoplasm stains very light (and boring)
Platelets, fragments of the megakaryocyte from the bone marrow. Vary in size and shape. smaller than RBCs. In poor collection, the platelets may clump together in the blood. TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 35-50 ml/lbs or 8-10% TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 30-35 ml/lbs or 7-8% TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 40-50 ml/lbs or 9-11% TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 25-30 ml/lbs or 6-7%
