Question

What is the best way to recognize a segmented neutrophil from other neutrophils is the?

Answer 1

The right answer is B.

Cells with a segmented horseshoe-shaped nucleus are segmented nuclei are precursors of neutrophils called metamyelocytes.

Following 3 divisions, the myelocytes are transformed into metamyelocytes: the majority of protein synthesis ceases. They have a curved or elongated horseshoe or sausage core; dense chromatin. This elongated nucleus will undergo one to three pinches (strictures), to give birth to the nuclear lobes.
