About 100 billion of them are made daily by the bone marrow of a normal adult, but they typically survive only a few hours.  Their nuclei consist of two to five lobes, joined together by hairlike filaments.  They contain large numbers of cytoplasmic granules, which turn pink when stained with a compound dye.  They make up about 60 percent of the total number of leukocytes, and migrate to areas of infection or tissue injury, where they engulf and destroy foreign organisms and particles.  FTP identify these cells, the lack of which is termed neutropenia.
