cause the production of myeloblasts and megakaryoblasts. a) Myeloblasts give rise to the granulocytes (eosinophils, basophils, and the neutrophils) b) Megakaryoblasts give rise . megakaryocytes which will become the . platelets. 3) Monoblasts will become monocytes which will
The earliest recognizable myeloid cell is the myeloblast (10-20m dia) with a large round to oval nucleus. There is fine diffuse immature chromatin (without clumping) and a prominant nucleolus. The cytoplasm is basophilic without granules. Although one may see a small golgi area adjacent to the nucleus, granules are not usually visible by light microscopy. One should not see blast cells in the peripheral blood.
