25
blood type ______ is a universal __________ while blood type ________ is a universal _________.
AB, recipient O, donor
26
what is sickle cell anemia?
a genetic defect that affects the hemoglobin subunits and manifests as tingling, pain, ischemia, hemolysis, and anemia
27
why is sickle cell anemia important?
it makes the person less susceptible to malaria infection
28
platelets
- play major role in blood coagulation - produce von Willebrand factor, thrombosospondin, and platelet-derived growth factor - often appear in clumps - 10 day life - no nucleus
29
platelet aggregation includes:
1. primary aggregation 2. secondary aggregation 3. blood coagulation
30
primary aggregation of platelets
- disruption in the microvascular endothelium - allow the platelet glycocalyx to adhere to collagen in the vascular basal lamina or wall - thus platelet plug is formed
31
secondary aggregation of platelets
- platelets in plug release a specific adhesive glycoprotein and ADP - induces further platelet aggregation - increase the size of platelet plug
32
blood coagulation during platelet aggregation
- fibrinogen from plasma, von Willebrand factor, and other proteins released from damaged endothelium - platelet factor 4 from platelet granules promote the cascade of plasma proteins giving rise giving rise to fibrin - thus blood clot or thrombus
33
characteristics of granulocytes:
2 major granules: 1: lysosomes (azurophilic granules) 2: specific granules - have polymorphic nuclei - terminally differentiated
34
characteristics of neutrophils
- polymorphonuclear leukocytes - help fight bacterial infection - innate immunity - initiate inflammation - first line of defense
35
characteristics of agranulocytes
- not terminally differentiated - lack specific granules but do contain azurophilic granules (lysosomes)
36
heparin
a sulfated GAG that acts locally as a coagulant
37
histamine
promotes increased vascular permeability and smooth muscle contraction
38
cytokines
polypeptides directing activities of leukocytes and other cells of immune system
39
anaphylaxis
a life threatening allergic reaction that can be stopped by use of epipen (epinephrine)
40
all lymphocytes are derived from:
bone marrow stem cells
41
B-cell lymphocytes
- differentiate and mature in bone marrow - 10-15% of all lymphocytes
42
T-cell lymphocytes
- 60-80% of all lymphocytes - defined by CD4+ and CD8+ and memory cells
43
antigen presentation leads to
activation of helper (CD4) and cytotoxic (CD8) and B lymphocytes
43
the bone marrow
- site of generation of RBCs, leukocytes, platelets - mature blood cells have short lifespan and must be replaced - cells arise in the yolk sac mesoderm
44
composition of bone marrow
- is a special type of connective tissue - hematopoietic cells - marrow adipose tissue - supportive stromal cells
45
2 types of bone marrow
- red - yellow
46
red bone marrow
- the actively hematopoietic tissue - is abundant in prenatal life and in the young - red due to erythrocytes and their precursors
47
yellow bone marrow
- a fatty replacement around ages 20-25 - relatively inactive - mainly composed of adipocytes
48
all blood cells come from
pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells
49
what lineages of cells are produced from pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells?
myeloid and lymphoid stem cells
50
the myeloid lineage includes
precursor cells for - erythropoiesis - thrombopoiesis - granulopoiesis - monocytopoiesis
51
the lymphoid lineage includes
- B lymphocytes - T lymphocytes - natural killer cells
52
what promotes growth and differentiation throughout the developmental process?
- erythropoietin (EPO) - colony stimulating factors (CSF) - cytokines - growth factors
53
myeloid cells include
- granulocytes - monocytes - erythrocytes - megakaryocytes
54
cell size gets __________ as cells differentiate
smaller
55
megakaryocytes _____________ in size as they differentiate
increase
56
______________ _______________ are the cells that synthesize hemoglobin and then degenerate.
basophilic erythroblast
57
what does it mean to be terminally differentiated?
scheduled to die
58
terminally differentiated cells
RBCs and granulocytes
59
monocytes will
differentiate
60
lymphocytes
proliferate and differentiate
