Definition
- Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells in the innate immune system characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm.They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN, PML, or PMNL) because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments. This distinguishes them from the mononuclear agranulocytes. (Wikipedia)
