What are the Granules in Neutrophils?

Neutrophils contain three types of granules: primary (azurophilic), secondary (specific), and tertiary granules.
- Primary granules: These contain enzymes like myeloperoxidase, which are crucial for microbicidal activity.
- Secondary granules: These include enzymes like lactoferrin and components like NADPH oxidase, which are involved in the oxidative burst.
- Tertiary granules: These contain enzymes that facilitate the migration of neutrophils through tissues.
