_____ moiety is responsible for releasing CO2
Globin
R state and T state
HEMOGLOBIN
Hb carrying 2,3-DPG
Deoxyhemoglobin
Hb carrying O2
Oxyhemoglobin
Hb carrying CO2
Carbaminohemoglobin
Human polypeptide chain of Hemoglobin
α, β, γ, δ

HbA1 (α2, β2)
HbA2 (α2, δ2)
In adult, ___ HbA1, ___ HbA2, ____ HbF
96%, 2%, 2%
Much smaller than that of RBCs in number
LEUKOCYTES
4,000-11,000/cumm
LEUKOCYTES
when leukocytes leave the bloodstream by migrating between endothelial cells of the blood vessels
Diapedesis
Both have azurophilic granules (lysosomes)
Granulocytes
Agranulocytes
GRANULOCYTES:
NEUTROPHIL
EOSINOPHIL
BASOPHIL
Formation of the granulocytes (NEB) under the influence of several cytokines, GCSF, GM-CSF, IL-1, IL-5, IL-6, TNF-alpha,
GRANULOCYTOPIESIS
Descendant of CFU-GEMM to CFU-Eo (Eosinophil) and CFU-Ba (basophil) forming myeloblast as precursor cell
GRANULOCYTOPIESIS
Neutrophil arise from CFU-GM to CFU-G forming myeloblast
GRANULOCYTOPIESIS
Also known as Polymorphonuclear leukocytes
NEUTROPHIL
The most abundant of all WBCs (60-70%)
NEUTROPHIL
Multilobed nucleus
NEUTROPHIL
In females, the nucleus presents a characteristic small appendages, the “drumstick” which contains the inactive x chromosome
NEUTROPHIL
One of the first cells to appear during acute bacterial infection
NEUTROPHIL
Phagocytose and destroy bacteria using the contents of their granules
NEUTROPHIL
contain various enzymes and pharmacological agents in performing antimicrobial function
Specific granules
are lysosomes containing acid hydrolases, MPO, BPI protein, antibacterial agent lysozyme, etc
Azurophilic granules
gelatinase and cathepsins inserted into plasmalemma
Tertiary granules
NEUTROPHILIC GRANULES:
Specific granules
Azurophilic granules
Tertiary granules
Constitutes less than 4%of the total WBCs
EOSINOPHILS
Sausage-shaped, bilobed nucleus
EOSINOPHILS
Helps to eliminate antigen-antibody complexes and destroy parasitic worms
EOSINOPHILS
EOSINOPHILS GRANULES:
contains crystal-like center called internum, and surrounded by externum
Specific
EOSINOPHILS GRANULES:
Internum: major basic protein, eosinophilic cationic protein, eosinophil-derived neurotoin
Specific
EOSINOPHILS GRANULES:
lysosomes
Azurophilic granules
The same function with mast cells but different origin (initiators of inflammatory process)
BASOPHIL
Constitute less than 1% of the WBC population
BASOPHIL
S-shaped nucleus but is commonly masked by the large specific granules
BASOPHIL
BASOPHILS GRANULES:
stain dark blue to black pressed against the periphery (roughened perimeter)
Specific granules
BASOPHILS GRANULES:
lysosomes
Azurophilic granules
AGRANULOCYTES:
MONOCYTES
LYMPHOCYTES
Share bipotential cell with neutrophil CFU-GM
MONOCYTOPOIESIS
CFU-M arises after the mitosis of CFU-GM forming monoblast
MONOCYTOPOIESIS
The largest of the circulating blood cells, enter the connective tissue spaces, where they are known as macrophages
MONOCYTES
Constitute 3-8% of the WBC population
MONOCYTES
Large, eccentric, kidney-shaped nucleus
MONOCYTES
Cytoplasm is bluish with numerous azurophilic granules (lysosomes)
MONOCYTES
FUNCTION: inflammatory and immune response
MONOCYTES
LYMPHOPOIESIS:
T LYMPHOCYTE
B LYMPHOCYTE
stem cell which give rise to immunocompetent B lymphocytesepressing special surface markers including antibodies
CFU-LyB
cells undergo mitosis forming immunocompetent T cells
CFU-LyT
Occurs in the bone marrow
CFU-LyB
Occurs in the cortex of the thymus (maturation)
CFU-LyT
Lymphoid Organs:
Spleen
Lymph nodes
