Cards

Term

Neutrophils make up what percentage of WBC count?

 

What is the shape of the nucleus?

 

What is the size of neutrophil?

 

When are their numbers increased/active?

Definition

60-70%

 

multilobed

 

6-10 microns

 

during a bacterial infection/phagocytose bacteria creating bacteria

Term

What are the size of eosinophil?

 

what percentage of WBC does this make up?

 

What is the shape of the nucleus?

 

What does the secretory granules look like at light level & TEM?

 

What are the functions of the primary and secrotory granules?

 

Definition

12 microns

 

4%

 

bilobed

 

at light level secrotory granules are orange/pinkish and at TEM they look like cats eyes due to major basic protein

 

-primary granules reduce inflam response by phagocytosis of antigen/antibody complex

-secrotory granules destroy parasitic worms w/major basic protein

 

 

Term

what is the percentage of WBC does basophil make up?

 

What is the shape of nucleus?

 

What is the size of a basophil?

 

What is the origin or basophils?

 

What does a basophil resemble in function and appearance?

 

What kind of secretion does a basophil have?

 

 

Definition

1%

 

S shaped or twisted

 

12 microns

 

UNKNOWN

 

resembles mast cell b/c of very dark specific granules that release histamine in response to inflammatory response and hypersentitivy rxns

(electron dense secretory granules)

 

regulated secretion

 

 

 

 

 

Term

What is the size of a monocyte?

 

What percentage does a monocyte make up?

 

What are the nuclei shaped like?

 

What does the cytoplasm look like?

 

What is the function of a monocyte?

Definition

-largest of WBC 16-20 microns

 

-3-8%

 

eccentric kidney shaped nuclei

 

-uniform/clear blue cytoplasm

 

-to give rise to macrophages

(secondary antigen presenting cell)

Term

What are the second most numberous WBC?

 

What are the sizes of lymphocytes?

 

Does the nucleus take up most of the cytoplasm?

 

What are the two types of lymphocytes and when do you see each one?

Definition

lymphocytes

 

8-10 microns

 

yes nucleus takes up most of cytoplasm, thin rim of clear blue

 

B lymphocytes-antibody mediated (humoral-chem)

 

T lymphocytes-cell mediated

Term

Where are B cells educated?

 

What type of immunity is this?

 

Do they contain rER?

 

What type of secretion does a B cell have?

 

 

Definition

educated in bone marrow

 

antibody mediated immunity

 

yes full of rER so make proteins

 

constitutive secretion of antibodies

Term

Where do T cells arise from?

 

Where are they educated?

 

What type of immunity do you find T lymphocytes in?

 

What are T cell responsible for forming and facilitating the formation of?

 

 

Definition

arise in bone marrow

 

educated in thymus

 

cell mediated immunity again virus infected cells or host graft rejection

 

for cytokines and facilitate formation of the humoral mediated response (antibody)

 

Term

what are the size of platelets?

 

what are their shape?

 

what are they considered?

 

what is their life span?

 

what is the average count of platelets?

 

what are their function?

Definition

2-4 microns

 

disk shaped

 

non-nucleated cells "fragments"

 

10 days/less

 

200,000-400,000

 

limit hemorrhage and inflammation

Term
what are the three steps in platelet during inflammatory response?
Definition

1) activation- "find injury"

 

2) adhesion- adhere to injury

 

3) aggregation- adhere to each other

Term

What is the origin of platelets?

 

Where are they located?

 

what is the nucleus of this cell like?

 

how are platelets shed from these cells?

Definition

megakaryocytes

 

in the bone marrow

 

huge multilobed nuclei

 

platelets shed off as DEMARCATION CHANNELS get pushed to edge and sloughed off

Term

What are the 3 roles of red marrow?

 

Is red marrow active?

 

Can yellow/resting marrow become red marrow?

 

What type of CT do you find in red marrow?

Definition

1) recycling Fe

2) produce/store cells

3) removal of "aged" cell from bld

 

yes cellularly active

 

yes yellow can become red marrow if need to

 

RETICULAR tissue for support (stroma)

Term

What are the cardinal signs of inflammation?

 

 

Definition

calor-heat

 

rubor-redness

 

tumor-swell

 

dolor-pain

 

functio laesa-loss of function

Term
what are the primary structures/tissues involved in inflammation?
Definition

1) connective tissue- this is primary response takes place b/c this is where we find bld vessels and WBC (can affect the epithelium)

 

2) bld/lymph vessels

 

3) WBC's

Term

What are the 3 essential features of inflammation?

 

 

Definition

1) hyperemia- increase bld flow to are increasing heat and redness (calor/rubor)

 

2) exudation- protein rich fluid from bld to tissue causing swelling and pain (tumor/dolor)*if bad enough can lose function

 

3) emigration of WBC's- diapedesis due to chemotaxis

Term
What do injured tissues, mast cells, macrophages & neutrophils release?
Definition

CHEMICAL MEDIATORS

histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes

Term

What are the vascular changes in response to closed injury- Hyperia?

 

Initial response?

 

Response 1?

 

Response 2?

 

Response 3?

 

What does it overlap?

Definition

vasocontriction- causing white line

 

flush- capillary dilation (dull red line)

 

flare- arteriolar dialation (irregular zone of redness)

 

Weal- increase vessel permeability (edema)

 

overlaps with exudation

Term

What are general mediators of exudation?

(short and long term)

 

 

Definition

Release of chemical mediators- MAST Cells release histamine which increases vessel leakiness (short term)

 

Bradykinin- increase vessel permeability, long term and ass w/ pain

*acts like histamine after histamine wears off

Term
What are the effects of exudation?
Definition

edema, swelling (tumor,dulor)

 

1)increase protein rich fluid in tissues to dilute toxins

 

2) increase proteins in tissue

*antibodies: host defense

*fibrinogen- clot formation & wound healing

 

lymphatic capillaries take up extra fluid

 

 

Term
What are the 3 essential features of emigration?
Definition

1) mast cells

 

2) WBC chemotactants

 

3) Diapedisis

Term

What are the stages of resolution of acute inflammation?

 

Factors favoring resolution?

Definition

1) injury causing agent removed

2) healing

3) restoration of normal

 

 

Factors: rapid removal of causitive agent

minimal death and damage

favorable local conditions= adequate bld & lymphatic vessels and adequate # of functioning WBC's
