Granulocyte - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Granulocyte;

NCIt synonyms : Granulocytic; Granular Leukocytes; Granular Leukocyte; Granulocytic Cell; Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes; Polymorphonuclear Cell;

NCIt related terms : PMN; Granulocytes; polymorphonuclear leukocyte;

NCIt definition : A type of leukocyte with a multilobed nucleus and cytoplasmic granules. The unique morphology of the nucleus has led to their also being known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMLs or PMNs). Granulocytes are subdivided according to the staining properties of their granules into eosinophils (red with acidic dye), basophils (blue with basic dye), and neutrophils (not amenable to staining with either acidic or basic dyes).;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of immune cell that has granules (small particles) with enzymes that are released during infections, allergic reactions, and asthma. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are granulocytes. A granulocyte is a type of white blood cell.; CDISC: A type of leukocyte containing a nucleus and cytoplasmic granules. Granulocytes are subdivided according to the staining properties of their granules into eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils.;
