Become PMLs after they leave blood

18
Q

Eosinophil appearance, function, lifespan

A

2 lobe nucleus
Specific granules exhibit crystalline core and similar to lysosomes
Circulate 1-10 hours
Allergic responses (ag/ab) and can clog kidneys

19
Q

Eosinophilia indicates

A

Allergic reaction

20
Q

Eosinophils produce

A

HIstaminase and aryl sulfatase B

21
Q

Basophil appearance function and lifespan

A
Bi-lobed nucleus 
Granules with heparin and histamine 
Systemic allergic reactions and type 1 hypersensitivity reactions 
Found in phagocytic 
Large blue granules
22
Q

Hematopoeisis

A

Blood cell formation

23
Q

Hematopoietic tissues

A

Where hematopoiesis occurs
Begins in wall of yolk sac
By 6th week moves to liver where erythropoiesis is more pronounced than myelopoeisis
Post-natal sites are bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus

24
Q

Erythropoiesis

A

In bone marrow producing RBCs

25
Q

Lymphopoesis

A

Occurs in bone marrow and lymph tissue and makes lymphcytes

26
Q

Myelopoesis

A

producing granulocytes, monocytes, and platelets in bone marrow

27
Q

Bone marrow location

A

In medullary cavity of young long bones and space of spongy bone…replcaed by yellow throughout life…highly cellular connective tissue specialized for development of blood cells

28
Q

Bone marrow functions

A

Initially - growth and remodeling of bone

Secondarily - hematopoetic

29
Q

Bone marrow structure

A

Blood sinuses and spong-like network of hematopoetic cells that lie in cords between sinuses

30
Q

BM components

A

Reticular conn tissue stroma
Hematopoietic cords
Venous sinuses

31
Q

Reticular conn tissue stroma

A

Fromed from reticular cells and fibers (Type 3 collagen)…support developing blood cells and separate from endothelium…secrete CSF

32
Q

Hematopoetic cords

A

Make up parenchyma…filled with blood cells of all type and stages…nests occupy different sites in marrow cords

33
Q

Venous sinuses

A

THin walled vessels positioned between arteries and veins

34
Q

How does new cell enter ciruclation?

A

Penetrate endothelium via diapedesis

35
Q

Macrophages located

A

Close to venous sinuses

36
Q

Myeloid and lymphoid stem cells are

A

Multipotential

37
Q

CFUs

A

Erythroid, megakaryoctye, baso, eosino, and granulocyte-macrophage (monos and neutros_

38
Q

What regulates hematopoiesis>

A

Glycoprotein hormones and stimulating factors

39
Q

Erythropoetin

A

Controls RBC production

40
Q

How are RBCs distinguished vs. others

A

RBCs on basis of color of cytoplasm

Others based on nucleus and granule color

41
Q

Erythroid lineage

A

Basophilic erythroblast - deep blue because rRNA…from proerythroblast and can divide by mitosis
Polychromatophilic erythroblast - gray…last stage cells can dfivide
Orthochromatic erythroblast - pink
Reticulocyte - pink with small rRNA present…mature into RBCS after 1 day in circulation**
RBC - sac of hemoglobin

42
Q

Myeloid lineage

A

Promyelocyte - ROund and foamy looking nucleus….only primary granule sythesis
Myleocyte - Slight indentation…starts to accumulate specific granules…last myeloid cell capable of mitosis
Metamyelocyte - markedly indented and post-mitotic
Band form - nucleus U shaped but not segmeneted
Mature cell- SEGS with segemented granules

43
Q

Platelet formation

A

Undergo endoreduplication to cause multilobulated nucleus
sER is important
Strips of platelets (cytoplasmic segmenets of megakaryocytes) differentiate into individual platelets
