Blood cells develop in the bone marrow from a common stem cell in the process known as [[Haematopoiesis|haematopoiesis]]. Once mature, cells are divided into groups that reflect their morpholgical characteristics including the [[Erythrocytes|erythrocytes]], or red blood cells, the granulocytes, the agranulocytes and the megakaryocytes.

The [[Thrombopoiesis#Megakaryocyte|megakaryocyte]] is seen in bone marrow samples, and develops into platelets, or [[Thrombocytes|thrombocytes]] prior to release into the blood stream. The granulocytes are white blood cells, or leukocytes that a granular cytoplasm and polymorphic nuclei; this group includes [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]], [[Eosinophils|eosinophils]], and [[Basophils|basophils]]. The neutrophils are the most common cell in this group, and they function, with the other granular cells as part of the non specific natural immune response to infection and the inflammatory response to tissue injury.
