Anatomy Flashcards
Life Span of RBC
120 days
Poikilocytosis
Varying shapes of RBCs
Anisocytosis
Varying sizes of RBCs
Erythrocytosis
polycythemia, increased hematocrit
Platelet dense granules
ADP, Calcium, ATP, 5-HT, histamine
platelet adhesion and vasocontriction
Platelet alpha granules
vWF, fibrinogen, plasminogen, PDGF
platelet derived GF
Life Span of Platelets
8-10days
Leukocyte WBC differential from highest to lowest
Neutrophils (54-62%) Lymphocytes (25-33%) Monocytes (3-7%) Eosinophils (1-3%) Basophils (0-0.75%)
Multilobed Nucleus, Phagocytic, acute inflammatory response
Neutrophil
Defensins
Neutrophil cationic protein
Hypersegmented Neutrophil
5 or more lobes, seen in Vitamin B12/folate deficiency
Increased Band cells
Immature neutrophils reflecting states of increased myeloid proliferation (bacterial infections, CML)
Reticulocyte
immature erythrocytes, marker of erythroid proliferation
Differentiates into macrophages, large, kidney-shaped nucleus. Extensive “frosted glass” cytoplasm
Monocyte
Monocytes that migrate into tissue
Histocytes
Monocyte life in blood
3 days
