Which of the following is a feature of a normal segmented neutrophil?
a. Basophilic cytoplasm
b. Round nucleus with fine chromatin
c. Small pink-lilac granules
d. Prominent primary granules
ANS: C
Segmented neutrophils contain many small pink-lilac granules in their cytoplasm. The nucleus is characterized by clumped chromatin, usually with segments, although it may appear twisted or folded. The background color of the cytoplasm is colorless; no ribonucleic acid (RNA) is present (and so no basophilia).
