Neutrophils Draw Label Annotate Specialised Function Multi Lobed Nucleus

Neutrophils have a multi-lobed nucleus to navigate tight spaces and granular cytoplasm with lysosomes for pathogen destruction, facilitating their role in fighting infections.

Neutrophils have a multi-lobed nucleus for squeezing through small spaces and granular cytoplasm containing lysosomes to attack pathogens, enabling them to combat infections.

Front Draw, label and annotate how neutrophils are specialised for their function.
Back Neutrophils:
  • Multi-lobed nucleus to squeeze through small gaps to get to the site of infection
  • Granular cytoplasm contains many lysosomes to contain enzymes used to attack pathogens
  • These features allow neutrophils to combat infections as part of the immune system
