Lymphocytes	:	30 – 50\%
Eosinophils	:	2 – 8\%

What are polymorphs cells?

any of a group of white blood cells that have lobed nuclei and granular cytoplasm and function as phagocytes; they include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils.

What is a polymorph leukocyte?

Listen to pronunciation. (PAH-lee-MOR-foh-NOO-klee-er LOO-koh-site) 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 polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Are polymorphs and neutrophils same?

Being the most abundant of the polymorphs, neutrophils are often referred to as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) or simply polymorphs (1). Neutrophils are highly motile cells and play an important role in infections, inflammatory conditions and autoimmune reactions.

What are polymorphs in medicine?

polymorph. The common abbreviated term for polymorphonuclear (many-shaped nucleus) neutrophil leukocyte, the small phagocytic white cell of the immune system present in enormous numbers in the blood and the tissues.

Why are neutrophils called polymorphs?

A mature neutrophil exhibits a segmented nucleus with three to five distinct lobes which are connected by thin filaments. The multilobed nucleus of the neutrophil can assume a variety of shapes and is hence considered polymorphic, which means many shaped.

How many neutrophils are in the human body?

Understanding the results

Test	Adult normal cell count	Adult normal range (differential)
white blood cells (WBC)	4,300-10,000 (4.3-10.0) white blood cells/mcL	1\% of total blood volume
neutrophils (ANC)	1,500-8,000 (1.5-8.0) neutrophils/mcL	45-75\% of total white blood cells
