Basophilic Granularity

Basophilic granularity is granularity in the cytoplasm, which is detected when cells are stained with basic dyes (for example, methylene blue). It is a small granule of chromatin that contains DNA and RNA, as well as other components of the cell.

Basophilic granularity is an important feature in the study of cells and tissues. It can be used to determine cell type, function and condition. For example, basophilic stippling can be found in neuroglial cells, indicating the presence of a myelin sheath around axons. Also, basophilic granularity is often found in liver cells, where it is associated with the synthesis of bile acids.

To detect basophilic granularity, special staining methods are used, such as Giemsa, Giemsa-Giemsa, etc. These methods make it possible to identify basophilic granularity and determine its size, shape and quantity in the cell.

Overall, basophilic granularity is important for understanding the functions of cells and their state in the body. Knowledge of this sign can help in diagnosing various diseases and determining their stage of development.



Basophilic granulation of the cytoplasm is a method of staining the cytoplasm of cells in a bright pink color due to the staining of preparations with a blue basic dye (carbolfuchsin).

This staining method is used to identify basophils (macrophages) and their differentiation in the frog and
