anatomy Flashcards
Erythrocytes: purpose of large surface area to volume ratio
Rapid gas exchange
Erythrocytes life span
120 days
Erythrocytes source of energy
Glucose: 90% glycolysis, 10% HMP shunt
erythrocyte - Membrane antiporter
cl-/hco3-
Erythrocytosis
Polycythemia
Poikilocytosis
Varying shapes
Reticulocytes - definition/reflects to
immature RBCs
Erythroid proliferation
Platelets involved in
1o hemostasis
Platelets life span
8-10 days
Platelets interacts with other platelets by…..to form ..
Fibrinogen
Platelet plug
Platelets types of granules (and what they contain)
Desne granules (ADP, Ca2+) a granules (vwf, Fibrinogen, fibronectin)
Platelets dense granules contain
ADP
Ca2+
Platelets a granules
vwf
Fibrinogen
fibronectin
1/3 of platelets is stored in
The spleen
Vwf receptor on platelets
GpIb
Fibrinogen receptor on platelets
GpIIb/IIIa
Leukocytes are divided to
Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) Mononuclear cells (monocytes, lymphocytes)
Leukocytes count
4000-10000
Leukocytes groups proportions
Neutrophils 54-62% Lymphocytes 25-33 Monocytes 3-7 Eosinophils 1-3 Basophils 0-0,75
Acute inflammation respond cells
Neutrophils
Neutrophils kind of granules
Specific granules Azurophilic granules (lysosomes)
Neutrophile specific granules contain
ALP, collagenase, lysozyme, lactoferrin
Neutrophils azurophilic granules (lysosomes) contain
Proteinases, acid phosphates, myeloperoxidase, β-glucuronidase
Increased nutrophil band cells (immatures neutrophils) reflects states of
Increased myeloid proliferation (bact infection, CML)
Important neutrophil chemotactic agents
- C5a 2. IL-8. 3. LTB-4. 4. Kallikrein 5. Platelet-activating factor
Plasma cell cancer
Multiple myeloma
Plasma cells histological features
- Clock face chromatin distribution
- Abundant RER
- Well developed Golgi apparatus
- eccentric nucleus
Monocytes histological features
- Large kidney-shaped nucleus
2. Extensive “frosted glass” cytoplasm
Macrophages phagocytose:
- Bacteria
- Cellular debris
- Senescent RBCs
