None the less, here's the blood histology slides I found online. This week seemed fairly simple:
Formed Elements make up 45% of blood
Plasma makes up 55% of blood
Erythrocytes: Red blood cells
Leukocytes are white blood cells and include the following:
Granulocytes- Neutrophil, Eosinophil, and Basophil appear grainy in slides
Neutrophil: (50-70% of Leukocytes)
multi-lobe neucleus, active phagocyte
Eosinophil: (2-4% of Leukocytes)
bilobed neucleus
Basophil (0.5-1 % of Leukocytes)
"S" shaped neucleus
Agranulocytes: no visible granules clear cyctoplasm
Lymphocyte- spherical neucleus imported for antibody immune response
Monocytes: "U" shaped neucleus, long term-chronic illness 2x's as big as RBC
To remember the greatest percentage in blood/plasma use the achronymn
Never Let Monkeys Eat bananas
neutrophil
lymphocyte
monocyte
eosinophil
basophil

Hi Aisha,
I found your blog via Introduce Islam. Being a biology major myself, I love the pictures and diagrams here! The types of leukocytes, in particular, are beautiful on slides.

Nasty Little Men Eat Babies -- that's the mnemonic I used to remember the blood cell names. Long ago and far away ...

steve, you are hilarious. A&P sucks and is the cause for my absence at class... and I think I'm changing my major.
but then again, I'm over-tired up studying for a huge midterm!
