Select the correct maturation sequence for granulocytes starting with youngest.
 
  a. Promyelocyte, myeloblast, metamyelocyte, myelocyte, segmented
  b. Myeloblast, promyelocyte, myelocyte, metamyelocyte, band, segmented
  c. Segmented, band, metamyelocyte, myelocyte, promyelocyte, myeloblast
  d. CFU-GEMM, promyelocyte, metamyelocyte, myelocyte, segmented

Question 2

A cell having a round nucleus with delicate chromatin, prominent nucleoli, and scant basophilic cytoplasm with a possible rare azurophilic granule is an accurate description of a:
 
  a. Myeloblast
  b. Myelocyte
  c. Metamyelocyte
  d. Band

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The correct maturation sequence is myeloblast, promyelocyte, myelocyte, metamyelocyte, band, segmented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The description fits that of a myeloblast. Often the myeloblast is agranular (without any visible granules), although special cytochemical staining can demonstrate the presence of myeloperoxidase in the cytoplasm even when granules are not present or visible.
