Granulocyte
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. Granulocytes or PMN are released from the bone marrow by the regulatory
complement proteins.
