==Introduction==
All circulating blood cells are nucleated and it is not unusual to see mitotic figures in the peripheral circulation. The blood cells include erythrocytes, thrombocytes, heterophils, eosinophils, basophils, azurophils, monocytes and lymphocytes.

==Erythrocytes==
==Erythrocytes==
Basophils are small spherical granulocytes with intensely staining round basophilic granules. The granules give the contour of the cell a cobblestone appearance and often obscure the nucleus. The nonlobed very dark blue to purple nucleus is slightly eccentric. The number of basophils in a differential leucocyte count is variable and species-dependent but basophils may not be frequently observed in some species of snakes.
