Blood Flashcards
responsible for carrying oxygen bound to hemoglobin to the tissue of the body
erythrocytes
affinity for methylene blue which is a basic stain
basophilia
affinity for azure dyes (purples) which can result from the oxidation of methylene blue in the mixture
azurophilia
affinity for eosin which is an acid stain (yellowish pink)
acidophilia
affinity for complex dyes- lilac color
neutrophila
young erythrocytes recently released into blood
reticulocytes
cells with specific granules that are quite evident by virtue of the fact that they have affinity for specific traits
granulocytes
blood cells that don’t have specific cytoplasmic granules of granulocytes
agranulocytes
nucleus is not composed of identifiable lobes
mononuclear
nucleus is composed of two or more district lobes
polymorphonuclear
list granulocytes
neutrophil
eosinophil
basophil
60-70% of WBC
fist line of cellular defense
nucleus is lumpy, has many lobes
neutrophils
1-4% of WBC
allergic reactions
bilobed nucleus
preventing blood clotting
eosinophil
0-1% of WBC
secrete histamine
large irregular shaped nucleus
allergic reactions and inflammatory response
basophils
list agranulocytes
lymphocytes
monocytes
megakaryocytes
produce antibodies
lymphocytes
kidney shaped nucleus
differentiate into macrophages
monocytes
form platelets
large, irregular nucleus
important in healing of cuts and abrasions
found in red bone marrow
megakaryocytes
function in clotting small
platelets
multipotent stem cell that gives rise to all types of blood cells. will divide and form pro erythroblast
hemocytoblast
stem cell for erythrocyte line
divides many times to form cells that will become basophilic erythroblasts
proerythoroblast
small, synthesizes hemoglobin
divide many times to form polychromatophilic erythroblast
basophilic erythroblast
divide many times to form normoblasts
polychromatophilic erythroblast
eccentric nucleus
lots of hemoglobin
will divide and get rid of nucleus and form reticulocytes
high rate of hemoglobin synthesis
normoblast
young RBC
reticulocyte
characteristic of leukemia
myeloblast
“PMN”
poly morphonuclear neutrophils
causes dilation of blood vessels and in effect makes them leaky
histamine
anticoagulant
heparine
second most common WBC in normal blood
lymphocytes
