Which of the following are granulocytes?
1. Neutrophils
2. Monocytes
3. Eosinophils
4. Lymphocytes
5. Basophils
A. 2 only
B. 5 only
C. 2 and 4 only
D. 1,3, and 5 only
Introduction:
The white blood cells (WBCs) are one of the components of blood. White blood cells, along with red blood corpuscles, platelets, and proteins, form the blood. When the white blood cells, red blood corpuscles (RBCs), and the clotting factors are removed, the remaining fluid is known as the serum.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Correct answer:
Neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils are the granulocytes.
Explanation of Solution
Justification for the correct answer:
Option (D) states that neutrophils (1), eosinophils (3), and basophils (5) are the only granulocytes. Granulocytes are white blood cells in which the cytoplasm contains granules. Granulocytes are further distinguished on the basis of the shape of the nucleus. Granulocytic WBCs are of three types, namely neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. Hence, option (D) is correct.
Justification for the incorrect answers:
Option (A) states that monocytes (2) are the only granulocytes. Monocytes are non-granulated cells. When present in tissues, they have the capability of differentiating into macrophages. The process of adaptive immunity is influenced by the presence of monocytes. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (B) states that basophils (5) are the only granulocytes. The basophils are not the only granulocytes present in the bloodstream. Neutrophils and eosinophils are also granulocytes. They are categorized on the basis of the presence of granules in them. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (C) states that monocytes (2) and lymphocytes (4) are the only granulocytes. Lymphocytes and monocytes are agranulocytes, that is, they do not possess cytoplasmic granules. Together, they make up approximately 33% of the hematologic blood values. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, options (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect.
Thus, it can be concluded that granulocytes and agranulocytes are categorized on the basis of the presence of cytoplasmic granules. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are granulocytes. Monocytes and lymphocytes are agranulocytes.

Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults. Select all that apply. Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals. With age, taste and visual perception decline. As people age, salivary production increases. In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated. Lean body mass increases in older adults.arrow_forward
- When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.arrow_forwardWhen taking vitamins and vitamin-mineral supplements, how can one be sure they are getting what they are taking?arrow_forwardHow many milligrams of zinc did you consume on average per day over the 3 days?
