Anatomy Flashcards
Neutrophils Like Making Everything Better?
Neutrophils (54–62%) Lymphocytes (25–33%) Monocytes (3–7%) Eosinophils (1–3%) Basophils (0–0.75%)
Increased Band states indicate?
bacterial infection and CML
Lipid A from bacterial LPS binds CD14 on
macrophages to initiate?
Septic Shock
Important neutrophil chemotactic agents?
C5a, IL-8, LTB4, kallikrein, platelet-activating factor.
Eosinophils produce what? And defend against helminthic infections with?
Produces histaminase and major basic protein (MBP, a helminthotoxin).
Causes of Eosinophilia? (NAACP)
Neoplasia
Asthma
Allergic processes
Chronic adrenal insufficiency Parasites (invasive)
Basophilia is a sign of?
myeloproliferative disease, particularly CML.
How does Mast Cell cause degranulation?
bind the Fc portion of IgE to membrane.
IgE cross-links
With macrophages if the infection has resolved, what cytokines for shutting down inflammation?
IL-10 and TNF-alpha
With macrophages if there is more work to do, what cytokine?
IL-8
Mast Cell are activated by?
- Tissue Trauma
- Complement C3a and C5a
- Cross-linking of cell surface IgE by antigen
1st phase of mast cells?
- Histamine=>vasodilation and vasopermeability at post capillary venules
2nd phase of mast cells?
Leukotrienes=>delayed responses
Regulatory T-Cell marker?
CD 28
Reticulocytes have a bluish tint because?
They have rRNA
