3. White Blood Cells Flashcards
Stages of neutrophil development
- myeloblast
- promyelocyte
- myelocyte
- metamyelocyte
- band
- segmented neutrophil
Neutrophil pool that travels throughout the peripheral circulation
Circulating pool
Neutrophil pool that lines the walls of the vasculature, waiting to be called into use
Marginating pool
Neutrophil pools found in the bone marrow
Mitotic pool
Storage pool
WBC increased in parasitic infection (esp. helminths) and allergic disorders
Eosinophils
IgG receptor found in basophils
IgE receptors
Cells that are related to basophils; tissue cells used in allergic rxns and inflammation
Mast cells
Stages of monocyte development
- monoblast
- promonocyte
- mature monocyte
Largest WBC in perioheral circulation
Monocytes
WBC with ground-glass appearance
Monocytes
WBC that serves as antigen-presenting cell (APC)
Monocyte
Term for monocytes that have migrated to tissues
Tissue macrophages
Stages of lymphocyte maturation
- lymphoblast
- prolymphocyte
- mature lymphocyte
3 subgroups of lymphocytes
- T cells
- B cells
- Natural killer (NK) cells
True/False. Lymphocytes can return from an inactive/resting form into active blasts as needed
Lymphocytes
Lymphocyte that produces antibodies and has a function in antigen presentation
B cells
Lymphocyte that mediates the immune response
T cells
Earliest recognizable neutrophil stage
Myeloblast
Neutrophil stage that is the last stage capable of mitosis
Myelocyte
Neutrophil stage with a kidney bean-shaped chromatin
Metamyelocyte
Neutrophil stage with a horseshoe form nucleus
Band neutrophil
Neutrophil stage where primary (azurophilic) granules are formed
Promyelocyte
Neutrophil stage where secondary (specific) granules are formed
Myelocyte
Metamyelocyte
Neutrophil stage where tertiary granules are formed
Metamyelocyte
Band
