4.3 lect - ct cells derived from the PHC - Rushmore Flashcards
peyer’s patches =
aggregated lymph nodules in the ileum (last third of small intestine)
T/F mast cells and eosinophils can be found in epithelia
false - connective tissue, not epithelia
what is the appearance of a mast cell
- nucleus: round with rim of heterochromatin and central nucleoulus (like eye or target)
- cytoplasm: eosinophilic or basophilic granules
what is the appearance of an eosinophil
- nucleus: lobed (2-3) and heterochromatic
- cytoplasm: eosinophilic granules
how many lobes in an eosinophil nucleus?
2-3
how can you tell a mast cell and an eosinophil apart?
eosinophil = lobed nucleus and slightly smaller cell
mast cell = circular nucleus and slightly larger cell

how do neutrophils kill phagocytosed microorganisms?
a respiratory burst reaction
rapid release of reactive superoxides and peroxides
this WBC is spcialized to kill phagocytosed microorganisms through a respiratory burst reaction

how to tell tendon from skeletal muscle
skeletal muscle has striations
how to tell unilocular adipocytes from capillaries
unilocular adipocytes rarely occur alone, they occur in clumps
what cell type manufactures the basement membrane

specific (secondary)
tertiary
the 3 granule types in a neutrophil are termed:
philic (primary)
specific (secondary)
