Outline the six stages of granulocytic maturation, from youngest (stage 1) to oldest (stage 6). Your description should include: Approximate size Nuclear traits (lobulation, segmentation, condensation, presence/absence nucleoli) Cytoplasmic changes (staining characteristics and granulation)

Identify the stage of maturation for the following cells:

Which of the following is true of thrombopoietin?

Match the RBC index with the corresponding definition:

This principle relies on detecting electrical resistance as cells pass through a detector and is used by most of the major hematology analyzers to enumerate cells:
