◉ What is chromatin Answer: Chromatin refers to a mixture of DNA
and proteins that form the chromosomes found in the cells of humans
and other higher organisms
◉ What does chromatin do Answer: Condenses and compresses to form
patterns, and helps us with cell ID
◉ Characteristics of heterochromatin Answer: Darkly staining,
condensed pattern, and transcriptionally inactive
◉ Characteristics of euchromatin Answer: Diffuse, open pattern, and
transcriptionally active
◉ What is the main function of neutrophils Answer: Phagocytosis:
engulf, kill and digest bacteria
◉ How do neutrophils move to areas of inflammation Answer: By
chemotaxis
◉ What is chemotaxis Answer: The release of chemical substances by
the inflamed tissue that attract phagocytic cells. Ex. Traumatic or
microbial damage
, ◉ What may cause neutrophilia Answer: Bacterial infections,
inflammation, trauma
◉ What may cause neutropenia Answer: Viral infections, and
chemotherapy

◉ Reference range of neutrophils Answer: 2.00-7.00 x10ˆ9/ L or 50-
70%
◉ What is the nucleus of neutrophils like Answer: 2-5 distinct lobes
connected by thin filaments
◉ What is the chromatin of a neutrophil like Answer: Clumped and
dense
◉ What is the cytoplasm of a neutrophil like Answer: Pink and contains
numerous secondary lilac granules
◉ What does the nucleus of a band neutrophil look like Answer:
Horseshoe, sausage, or S shaped nucleus
