47
Q

What are the 3 different type of blood cells?

A

Erythrocytes - red blood cells
Leukocytes - white blood cells
Thrombocytes - platelets

48
Q

What do Erythrocytes do?

A

The protein Hemoglobin within them carry oxygen, which they carry to all the cells of the body. The cells use the oxygen to burn food and release energy, catabolism.

49
Q

Leukocytes are broken down into 2 catagories according to their nuclei. What are they?

A
  1. Polymorphonuclear cells, or Granulocytes - contain dark-staining granules in their cytoplasm and have a multi-lobed nucleus. They are formed in the bone marrow, and there are 3 types.
  2. Mononuclear cells, or Agranulocytes - have one large nucleus and only a few granules in their cytoplasm. They are produced in bone marrow, AND lymph nodes, AND spleen, and there are 2 types.
50
Q

What are the 3 types of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes (Granulocytes)?

A
  1. Eosinophils - [granules stain red (eosin = rosy) with acidic stain.] are active and increased in number in allergic conditions such as asthma. About 3% of Leukocytes are this type.
  2. Basophils - [granules stain blue with basic (bas/o = basic) stain] The function of Basophils is not clear, but the number of these cells increases in the healing phase of inflammation. Less than 1% of Leukocytes are this type.
  3. Neutrophils - [granules stain a pale purple with neutral stain] are important disease fighting cells. They are Phagocytes (phag/o = eating swallowing) they engulf and digest bacteria. They are the most numerous disease fighting soldiers. 50% - 60% of of Leukocytes are neutrophils and are referred to as “ polys “ because of their multi lobed nucleus.
51
Q

What are the 2 types of Mononuclear Leukocytes, or Agranulocytes?

A
  1. Lymphocytes - (Lymph cells) fight disease by producing antibodies that destroy foreign cells OR they may attach directly to foreign cells and destroy them. Two types of lymphocytes: T-cells and B-cells. About 32% of Leukocytes are lymphocytes.
  2. Monocytes - ( Cells with one [Mon/o = one] very large nucleus) engulf and destroy cellular debris after neutrophils have attacked and destroyed foreign cells. Monocytes leave the bloodstream and enter tissues (such as lung and liver) to become macrophages, which are large phagocytes. They are 4% of Leukocytes.
52
Q

What is a Thrombocyte?

A

A Thrombocyte or platelet (clotting cells) are the third type of blood cell. They are actually tiny fragments of cells formed in the bone marrow and necessary for blood clotting.
