If applicable, identify the tissues with their associated locations, functions, and identifiable characteristics
Identifiable Characteristics:
- granules are dark purple and densely packed, often obscuring the nucleus
- red-staining (acidophilic) granules in the cytoplasm
- nucleus is bilobed
- granular
- agranular with a round nucleus
- smallest out of all the WBCs, roughly the same size as RBCs
- agranular, with a kidney-shaped nucleus
- the largest out of all the WBCs
- granular, with a segmented nucleus (multi-lobed, typically 2-5 lobes)

C. Lymphatic Vessel
- results in the buildup of plaques, that narrow the artery and impair blood flow, increasing the risk of cardiovascular events
- involved in the control of vessel diameter and play a key role in blood pressure regulation
