Q

T/F blood can be thought of as conective tissue with basically no fibrous component (although can easily clot through collaboration between proteins and platelet factors)

A

true
cells = formed elements
ground substance = plasma

Q

why do we say “formed elements” of blood rather than “cells” ?

A

because there are many membrane bound structures with no nuclei (RBCs, platelets)

Q

basophils (blood only) are similar in function but from different lineages than this motile cell of the connective tissue

A

mast cell

like basophil, contains histamine and heparin granules and facilitates allergic response

21
Q 
function of:
neutrophil
eosinophil
basophil
lymphocyte
monocyte
A

neutrophil - intimicrobial
eosinophil - antihelminthic (parasites), allerg
basophil - histamine, heparine, allerg rspns
lymphocyte - immune response
monocyte - immature macrophage

22
Q

corpus luteum

A

cells left behind in ovarian follicle after ovulation

-quickly clots from broken blood vessels which functioned in steroid hormone transport

23
Q

cells left behind in ovarian follicle after ovulation

-quickly clots from broken blood vessels which functioned in steroid hormone transport

A

corpus luteum

24
Q

scar that results from an ovulated follicle

A

corpus albicans

25
corpus albicans
scar that results from an ovulated follicle | -after corpus luteum clots and scars
26
difference between corpus luteum and corpus albicans?
luteum - clotting, dispersed fibers, RBCs, macrophages, neutrophils albicans - fibroblasts and dense irreg ct
27
plasmodium falciparum =
the most fatal malarial parasitic protozoan
28
what does malaria look like on a blood smear?
1-5 vesicles or dense dots inside RBCs
29
how can you notice leukocytes prematurely released from the bone marrow in a blood smear, e.g. in the case of leukemia?
abnormally large size and nucleoli evident as light "holes" in nuclei
30
normally what percent of cells in a blood smear are leukocytes?
~1%
31
what kind of a WBC/RBC ratio might indicate pathology?
> 1/100
32
what are two abnormal appearances of RBCs on a blood smear?
``` crenation (shrunk / starred) en rouleaux (life savers packing together) ```
33
en rouleaux
abnormal clumping together of RBCs into life-savers like rolls (occurs when higher than normal plasma protein concentrations)
34
abnormal clumping together of RBCs into life-savers like rolls (occurs when higher than normal plasma protein concentrations)
en rouleaux
35
when do en rouleaux and crenulated RBC appearances arise?
crenulation - hypertonic solution | en rouleaux - high conc plasma proteins
36
what organs are likely quickest to be compromised in the event of blood pathogen?
spleen - breakdown of blood | liver - metabolism of broken down elements
37
resident cells of connective tissue
fibroblast unilocular adipocyte multilocular adipocite
38
what are motile cells of connective tissue
derived from blood cell (hematopoeitic) precursors
39
what motile cells might you find in connective tissue but not in blood?
``` macrophage (from monocyte) plasma cell (from B-lymphocite) mast cell (similar to basophil but round clockface nucleus or round dark nucleus instead of lobed) ```
40
what motile cells might you find in blood but not connective tissue?
monocyte (immature macrophage) | basophil (similar to mast cell but lobed nucleus)
41
what motile cells might you find in both connective tissue and blood?
neutrophil eosinophil lymphocyte
42
how does a mast cell appear?
in connective tissue granules with clockface nucleus OR uniformly dark nucleus if already produced all granules (may become relatively quiescent)
43
T/F plasma cells May travel in blood, but primary location is in connective tissue
true | in lymph nodules etc, where it is actively making antibodies
44
what is supravital staining?
stained when organism still alive | -macrophages will try to ingest stain
45
what is one way to stain macrophages specifically?
supravital staining (stain while living) e.g. with india ink macrophages will ingest the stain
46
diapedesis
after rolling adhesion, blood cell squeezing through endothelium to connective tissue
47
rolling adhesion
endothelial surface proteins bind blood cells to slow them down for diapedesis (squeezing through to connective tissue)
48
foreign body giant cell
when foreign body is bigger than macrophage, macrophages combine to form foreign body giant cell -ingest foreign body if possible, if biologically inert FBGCs will wall off the foreign body from the rest of tissue
49
what happens if a foreign body is larger than a macrophage?
macrophages combine to form foreign body giant cell | -ingest foreign body if possible, if biologically inert FBGCs will wall off the foreign body from the rest of tissue
