Based on the following cells: a. Describe each of their appearances under a microscope b. Describe each of their functions c. Draw a picture of each cell type i. Basophil – prevents blood from clotting too quickly, which promotes blood flow to tissues / visible nucleus with two lobes ii. Eosinophil – helps protect the body from bacteria and parasites / blob shaped smaller that red blood cell iii. Lymphocyte - part of our immune defense and act to recognize antigens, produce antibodies, and destroy cells that could cause damage / pink discs slightly larger than red blood cells iv. Monocyte - type of white blood cell that fights off bacteria, viruses and fungi / large spherical shape with bean sized nucleus v. Neutrophil – first immune cells to act as defense against infection / appears bigger than a red blood cell vi. Platelet – prevent bleeding / shaped like small plates vii. Red blood cell – transport oxygen / look like small discs
