Question

What is now considered to be a preferred nucleus appearance discriminator between myelocytes and metamyelocytes instead of the degree of indentation of the nucleus?

Answer 1

Nuclear chromatin clumping is increased in the metamyelocytes, nuclei disappears and granules are mostly secondary

Step-by-step explanation:

• Metamyelocyte is the cell that is undergoing granulopoiesis and is derivative of a myelocyte. It is characterized by the bent nucleus type of appearance, cytoplasm consists of the cytoplasmic granules and visible type of nucleoli are absent.

• Myelocytes are the cells occurring in a bone marrow; cells with cytoplasmic granules which that produces granulocytes of the blood. It doesnot occur normally in the blood as in leukaemia.
