Activity 10 VASCULAR TISSUE Flashcards
Spell out RBC
Red blood corpuscles
In medical terms, Red blood cells are called
Erythrocytes
These cells are Biconcave when viewed and more numerous than white blood cells
Erythrocytes
It appears reddish or orange pink in color with small lighter central area
Cytoplasm
Mature erythrocytes of a man are
Non-nucleated
For the frog’s RBC, it’s cells are
Oval with a centrally located nucleus
They are mobile nucleated cells and without any bemagibbin content.
Leucocytes
The primary function of the leucocytes is to
Protect the body against foreign organisms
Numbers from 5k to 10k mm³
WBC
Numbers from 3.5M to 5M mm³
RBC
Leukocytes are sub-divided into:
Granular and non-granular
Granular leucocytes are also called
Granulocytes
These cells have loved or segmented nuclei and cytoplasm contains specific staining granules
Granulocytes
Granular leucocytes are sub-divided into:
Neutrophil
Eosinophil
Basophil
Most numerous granulocytes
The granules take both acidic and basic ten, hence they appear illac or purple in culer in stated specimens.
The nucleus shows 2-5 lobes which are connected by slender filaments of nuclear materials
Neutrophil
has two lobules in the nucleus and large granules in the cytoplasm Together with neutrophil, it is considered as one of the most recognizable cells in man.
Eosinophil
Their number increases during a parasitic infection or an allergic reaction.
Eosinophil
This cell attacks, engulfs antibody-marked bacteria, protozoa or cellular debris.
Eosinophil
a horseshoe-shaped two lobed nucleus make them easy to identify.
Eosinophil
has nucleus twisted like a letter S with large but fewer granules in the cytoplasm
Basophil
The cell is rare less than 1 percent of the circulating WBC population. It migrates to site of injury and releases the granules that contain chemicals heparin and histamine.
Basophil
The granules are not as numerous as in eosinophil but are more variable in size.
Basophil
Non-granular leucocytes are also called as
Agranulocytes
These are blood cells that do not contain granules in the cytoplasm and the nucleus is never divided
Non-granular or Agranulocytes
The smallest of the WBC with a nucleus almost ocroving the unte resulting to a scanty cytoplasm.
Lymphocytes
the cell of lymphatic system and providers defense against specific pathogen or toxins..
Lymphocytes
The largest agranular leucocyte.
Monocyte
This white blood cell enters tissues to become macrophages and engulf pathogens or debris.
Monocyte
The nucleus varies from round or oval to indented bean-shaped.
Monocyte
Medical term for platelets
Thrombocytes
The smallest of the formed elements.
Platelet
They are involved in the clotting of blood at sites of injury in blood vessels and protect the organism against excessive loss of blood.
Platelet
It has irregular masses of basophil cytoplasm.
