Eosinophil, Granulocyte Eosinophil (Eosinophil)

Eosinophil, Granulocyte Eosinophil (Eosinophil) is a type of leukocyte, distinguished by the presence of large granules in their cytoplasm, stained orange-red with Romanovsky dye. The role of eosinophils has not yet been fully elucidated, but it is known that they are capable of absorbing foreign particles, are present in large quantities in the mucous membranes and are involved in allergic reactions in the body. Normally, a liter of blood contains 40-400 x 106 eosinophils.



An eosinophil, eosinophilic granulocyte, or simply eosinophil is a type of leukocyte that differs in the presence of large granules in the cytoplasm. These granules are stained orange using Romanowsky dye, hence the name eosinophils.

The role of eosinophils in the body is not yet fully understood, but it is known that these cells are capable of absorbing foreign particles and participating in allergic reactions. They are also present in large quantities in mucous membranes, including the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and skin.

The normal number of eosinophils in the blood ranges from 40 to 400 per liter. However, if the eosinophil count increases, it may indicate allergies, infections, autoimmune diseases, or other health problems.

In general, eosinophils play an important role in protecting the body from various threats such as allergens, parasites and bacteria. However, their excess amount can lead to various problems, so it is important to monitor the level of eosinophils and, if necessary, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
