Which of the Following is Not Contained in the Buffy

Question

Which of the following is not contained in the buffy coat?
A) Lymphocytes
B) Granulocytes
C) Erythrocytes
D) Agranulocytes
E) Platelets

Accepted Answer

The buffy coat is a layer of cells and cell fragments that forms between the plasma and erythrocytes during centrifugation of blood. It typically contains white blood cells - including lymphocytes, granulocytes, and agranulocytes - as well as platelets. However, erythrocytes are not part of the buffy coat, as they are much denser and settle at the bottom of the centrifuged tube.
