Blood Flashcards
Hematopoiesis is…
the formation of Blood cells in bone marrow
Thrombocytes are…
Platelets
Erythrocytes
red blood cells
Leukocytes
white blood cells
Types of Leukocytes 2 categories
Phagocytes and Immunocytes
Phagocytes
Macrophages ( Both acquired and innate immunity) and Granulocytes (innate immunity)
Granulocytes types
Neutrophils _mostly these, in normal state
Basophil, - upregulated during infection
Eosinophil - upregulated during infection
types of Lymphocytes (imunocytes) (acquired immunity)
T-Cells - Made in the thymus
B-cells - made in Bone marrow
PBTK
Physiologically based toxicokinetic - or pharmacokinetics(PBPK) - comparing response curves between species
TCDD
a chemical byproduct of making polychlorinated phenols could cause cancer and does cause thymic atrophy which is the destruction of the thymus, which leads to the depletion of T-cells because the thymus produces them.
Benzine
(conjugated 6-carbon ring) chronic exposure causes Leukemia
Leukemia
- cancers of the blood cells.
Anemia
- lack of blood, an-emia
Hemolytic Anemia
- Erythrocytes are destroyed faster than being made. Hemoglobinemia is the symptom
Hemoglobinemia
red blood cells were lysed, there is free-floating hemoglobin in the blood.
