This document describes the key characteristics of different types of cells in the myeloid series: - Myeloblasts are the most mature in the myeloid series, have moderate cytoplasm and round nuclei with delicate chromatin. - Promyelocytes are slightly larger than myeloblasts and contain distinct dark blue or reddish blue granules. - Neutrophilic myelocytes contain small, ill-defined reddish or lilac granules and have a clear region adjacent to their eccentrically located nuclei. - Neutrophilic metamyelocytes contain abundant specific granules and have slightly indented nuclei. - Neutrophilic bands have markedly indented nuclei and various shapes including
