Question

Which of the following is characteristic of all leukocytes?
A) They have cytoplasmic granules.
B) They are phagocytic.
C) They are nucleated.
D) They are the most numerous elements formed in blood.

Accepted Answer

All leukocytes (white blood cells) are nucleated, meaning they have a distinct nucleus within their cell structure. This distinguishes them from erythrocytes (red blood cells), which lose their nucleus during development and are anucleated when they are released into circulation.
