Neutrophils

Não será NEUTRÓFILOS?

NEUTRÓFILO glóbulo branco, granulócito, polinuclear, que tem afinidade por corantes neutros.

Neutrophils are Leukocytes (white blood cells) of the Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte subgroup.

Neutrophils form a primary defense against bacterial infection. Like all the cells of the immune system, neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream. However, neutrophils move out of blood vessels into infected tissue in order to attack the foreign substance (allergen, bacteria, etc.). Normally a serious bacterial infection causes the body to produce an increased number of neutrophils, resulting in a higher than normal WBC count. Neutrophils perform their function partially through phagocytosis, a process by which they "eat" other cells and foreign substances. The pus in a boil (abscess) is made up mostly of neutrophils.

Não existe a palavra neutrogilo. Provavelmente a palavra correta é neutrófilo, que no inglês é neutrophil (neutrophils no plural).
