Q

Diapedesis

A

WBC leave blood and enter tissues

17
Q

chemotaxis

A

WBC attracted to infection by damaged cells, dead cells, or invading pathogens.

18
Q

Granulocytes

A

Neutrophils, basophils, eosinophil

19
Q

agranulocytes

A

lymphocytes, monocytes.

20
Q

Lymphatic cells

A

B-cells, T-cells, natural killer cells.

21
Q

myeloid stem cells

A

produce all WBC except lymphocytes.

22
Q

Normal WBC count

A

5,000-10,000 cells per microliter.

23
Q

Platelet count

A

150,000 to 500,000 per microliter.

24
Q

Phases of hemostasis

A

Vascular, platelet, coagulation…….clot retraction.

25
Q

margination

A

WBC is slowing down in blood vessel

26
Q

neutrophils

A

Most abundant WBC. Phagocytic cell with multi-lobed nucleus. First to respond and pus is dead neutrophils. Granulocytes

27
Q

Eosinophils

A

Granulocyte with granules stain bright red. More present in AM (diurnal) with divided, lobed nucleus. Worm and allergic reaction.

28
Q

Basophils

A

Granules dye blue. Effector cells in allergic reaction that dilate the capillary walls.

29
Q

Monocytes

A

Agranulocytes. Become macrophages once chemotaxis in tissue.

30
Q

Natural killer cells

A

Largest lymphocytes. Kills virus infected and tumor cells without prior stimulation. Innate response

31
Q

Thrombocytes

A

Platelets from megakaryocytes.

32
Q
