"Granules" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Small, granular particles or powdery substances, often in a uniform size and shape.
Usage Examples: Granules
Granulated refers to something that has been broken down or pulverized into small, irregular particles or crumbs, often to increase its surface area or make it easier to process or digest. For example, granulated sugar is sugar that has been crushed or ground into small crystals.
A granulator is a machine or device used to break down or disintegrate larger particles, materials, or objects into smaller granules or particles.
Producing or containing granules: relating to or characterized by the formation or presence of granules, small particles or fragments. Often used in biology to describe cells or tissues that produce or contain granules, such as granuliferous cells in the ovarian epithelium.
Granulite is a type of metamorphic rock that is typically found in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. It is typically composed of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica, and has a coarse-grained texture. Granulites are often formed from the metamorphism of sediments, and can provide valuable information to geologists about the tectonic history of an area.
A granulocyte is a type of white blood cell that has a granular cytoplasm. It is an immune cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections. Granulocytes are designed to engulf and digest foreign particles and bacteria, and they are an essential part of the body's defense against infection. There are several types of granulocytes, including neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils, each with slightly different functions and characteristics.
Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They play a vital role in fighting infections, such as bacterial infections, by engulfing and digesting foreign particles and microorganisms. There are three main types of granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. They can be identified by their distinct staining patterns and functions.
Granulocytosis is a medical term that refers to an excessive or abnormal increase in granulocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. Granulocytes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Granulocytosis can be caused by various factors such as infections, inflammatory conditions, or reactions to certain medications. It can also be a sign of certain underlying disorders, such as leukemia or bone marrow disorders.
