Segmented neutrophils in bone marrow cannot be distinguished morphologically from those in peripheral blood. The nucleus has a filament constriction (compared to band neutrophils).Definition:
Segmented neutrophils are the last maturation stage of myelopoiesis. In this form, most neutrophils enter into peripheral blood. They constitute about
of nucleated bone marrow cells (myelogram).
