Q

How long do eosinophils circulate in blood?

A

8-12 hours

34
Q

Eosinophils have large eosinophilic granules that contain what?

A

Crystalloid body in the middle of granule

35
Q

What do eosinophil crystalloid bodies secrete?

A

MBP Major basic proteins, most effective in killing parasites/worms

36
Q

What surround the granule in the matrix of crystalloid body?

A

Eosinophil Peroxidase EPO
Eosinophil derived neurotoxin EDN
Histamines

37
Q

What do eosinophil small granules function as?

A

Lysosomes, contain hydrolytic enzymes and acid hydrolases that function in destroying parasites

38
Q

What is eosinophilia?

A

Increased amount of circulating eosinophils

39
Q

When do eosinophils increase in number?

A

Parasitic/worm and Helminth infections, allergic reactions

40
Q

Describe process of eosinophils in allergic reaction?

A

Eosinophils will secrete histaminase, which will neutralize histamine and reduce allergic reactions (reduces mast cell and basophil)

41
Q

Which is the least common leukocyte?

A

Basophil, 0-1%

42
Q

What do large primary basophilic granules contain?

A

Heparin and histamine, secrete in response to allergic reaction

43
Q

What do small azurophilic granules in basophils contain?

A

Lysosomal acid hydrolases

44
Q

What is basophilia?

A

Increased amount of basophil count in blood

45
Q

Explain how basophils are similar to mast cells?

A

Both aid in producing allergic reaction with histamines and heparins, also they both have surface receptors for Immunoglobulin E IgE abtibodies

46
Q

Explain basophil allergic reaction process with IgE

A

First encounter to antigen, the basophils with bind with IgE and produce antibody. Second encounter is when allergic reaction takes place and possible anaphylaxis

47
Q

What is Diapedesis?

A

Process of a leukocyte squeezing through wall of blood vessel to leave blood and enter damaged tissue area.

48
Q

Explain Diapedesis?

A

1: cytokine release, interleukin 1
2: endothelial cells secrete selectins E and P
3: neutrophil binds to selectins and starts rolling on endothelial surface
4: pressure exerted causes neutrophils to express Integrins and the endothelial cells produce Integrin ligan ICAM1, these bind together
5: neutrophil stops rolling and is now attached to endothelial cell
6: Neutrophils use actin to put out pseudopodia
7: endothelial junctions are loosened by histamine and heparin secretion by perivascular cells, neutrophils migrate into extracellular CT matrix through these junctions
8: Collagenase secreted by the neutrophil, destroys basement membrane and neutrophil is now functional in extracellular CT matrix as a phagocyte

49
Q

What is percentage of lymphocytes in blood?

A

30%, second most common

50
Q

What is special about lymphocytes?

A

Recirculating immunocompetent cells, only cell that can circulate between lymphoid tissue and back into blood

51
Q

Small lymphocytes are most common?

A

Yes, 90%

52
Q

Medium lymphocytes include?

A

B lymphocytes, and T lymphocyte

53
Q

Large lymphocytes are called?

A

54
Q

What are B lymphocytes?

A

58
Q

What does monocytes cytoplasm contain?

A

Small azurophilic granules that contain lysosomal hydrolytic enzymes

59
Q

What happens to monocytes during inflammation?

A

60
Q

Where are monocytes made?

A

Bone marrow

61
Q

Where do monocytes go once created?

A

From bone marrow to body tissue, then differentiate into phagocytes of MPS system

62
Q

Importance of Mononuclear Phagocytic System?

A

Monocytes differentiate into phagocytes of this system

63
Q

Newly formed monocytes only circulate blood for how long?

A

3 days

64
Q

Monocytes are antigen presenting cells how?

A

Involved in immune response by presenting partially degraded cells to T lymphocytes for recognition.

65
Q

Examples of MPS cells

A

Cells primarily derived from monocyte and denote a population of antigen presenting cells involved in process of foreign bodies,
Ex. Osteoclast, monoblast, kupffer cells

66
Q

What is a platelet?

A

membrane bound cell fragments, formed in bone marrow from cytoplasm of Megakaryocytes

67
Q

What is lifespan of platelets?

A

10 days

68
Q

Main function of platelets?

A

Hemostasis

69
Q

Do platelets plasma membrane have a glycocalyx coat?

A

Yes

70
Q

What are two zones of platelets?

Q

Inner granulomere has four types of electron dense granules?

A

Alpha, Delta/Dense, Lamda/lysosomes, microperioxisomes

72
Q

What are Alpha granules in platelets?

A

Most numerous, facilitate blood coagulation and platelet aggregation

73
Q

Alpha granules in platelets contain?

A

Plasminogen, Plasminogen activation inhibitor, fibrinogen, beta thromboglobulin, platelet derived growth factor, platelet factor 4

74
Q

What do delta/dense granules in platelets contain?

A

ADP and ATP, seratonin, histamines

75
Q

What do lamda granules in platelets contain?

A
