blood Flashcards
cells that have a clear golgi region next to the nucleus
lymphocyte
Large lymphocytes with azurophilic granules
cytotoxic T cells
cytoskeletal feature of all white blood cells
pseudopodia
3 components of bone marrow
reticular CT stroma, hematopoietic cords, venous sinuses
CFU
colony forming unit: pleuripotent stem cell for all blood cells in marrow. Makes CFC’s. Secretes glycoprotein hormone stimulating factors. Looks like small lymphocyte
CFC
colony forming cell: one for each type of blood cell
the rarest granulocyte in peripheral blood/ bone marrow
basophil
myelopoeisis makes these cell types
monocytes, lymphocytes?, and (leukocyctes) granulocytes : all WBC’s
what cell makes platelets
megakaryocyte
granulocyte with an oval nucleus
myelocyte
granulocyte with a kidney shaped nucleus
metamyelocyte
small dense nucleus and grey cytoplasm
polychromatic eurythroblast
granulotcyte with u-shaped nucleus
neutrophil band form cell
reticulocyte
immature RBC that still contains some rRNA. Only 1-2% of the blood. More reticulocytes= more RBC production
what are the two components of platelets
- granulomere- containing the vasoconstrictor SERATONIN
2. hyalomere- containing thee microtubules that give it its biconcave shape
