Anatomy/Phys Flashcards
Erythrocyte
Life span 120 days – energy from glucose – membrane has Cl/HCO3 antiporter — reticulocyte is immature RBC
Platelet
Life span of 8-10 days – dense granules (ADP, Ca) and a granules (vWF, fibrinogen)
Leukocyte differential
Neutrophils Like Making Everything Better – Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils
Neutrophil
Multilobed – specific granules (ALP, collagenase, lysozyme, lactoferrin) – azurophilic granules (proteinases, acid phosphatase, myeloperoxidase, B-glucouronidase)
Monocyte/Macrophage
Monocyte in blood, macrophage in tissue – activated by y-interferon – granuloma formation – antigen presenting via MHC II – lipid A binds CD14 on macs for septic shock
Eosinophil
Helminthic infections (major basic protein) – makes histaminase – causes are NAACP (Neoplasia, Asthma, Allergic processes, Chronic adrenal insufficiency, invasive Parasite)
Basophil
Allergic reaction – contain heparin and histamine
Mast cell
Allergic reaction in local tissues – bind Fc portion of IgE to membrane – degranulation releases histamine, heparin, and eosinophilc chemotactic factors – type I hypersensitivity
Dendritic cell
Link between innate and adaptive immunity – has MHC class II and Fc recepotrs – Langerhans cell in skin
B cell
CD 19, CD 20, CD21 – humoral immune response – differentiate into memory cells and plasma cells
T cell
CD3/CD4 (helper, MHC II) or CD3/CD8 (cytotoxic, MHC I) – cellular immune response
Plasma cell
Clock face chromatin distribution, abundant RER
Blood type A
Anti-B IgM – hemolytic reaction if receive B or AB
Blood type B
Anti-A IgM – hemolytic reaction if receive A or AB
Blood type AB
No antibodies (universal recipient of RBCs, univeral donor of plasma)
