Identification of Blood Cells - Bio-Zoology Laboratory Practical Experiment
Aim:
Identification of blood cells (Red blood cells and white blood cells). To draw a neat labelled diagram and write a note on the blood cells identified.
Materials Required
Permanent prepared slides of blood cells.
Identification:
Red blood cells
The given slide is identified as Red blood cells
- They are biconcave and disc shaped.
- They are also known as erythrocytes
- Mature mammalian RBC’s do not have nucleus.
- Haemoglobin is a respiratory pigment which gives red colour.
- It transports oxygen from lungs to tissues and carbon- dioxide from tissues to lungs
White blood cells
The given slide is identified as White blood cells
- WBC’s are colourless and they have nucleus.
- They are also known as Leucocytes
- They show amoeboid movements.
- They fight against germs and other foreign bodies and thus protect the body from microbial infections and diseases.
- There are five different types of WBC named as Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes and Monocytes
