Q

this is a non-hematological cell that can be mistaken as metamegakaryocyte or megakaryocyte

A

osteoclast

similar in size and has multiple number of nuclei

148
Q

how to differentiate metamegakaryocyte from osteoclast

A

cytoplasmic granulation only in metamegakaryocyte

mutiple nucleus of megakaryocyte is fused together

149
Q

this is a non-hematological cell mistaken as plasma cell

A

osteoblast

similar appearance - eccentrically located nucleus

150
Q

how to differentiate osteoblast from plasma cell

A

plasma cells have a presence of nuclear halo

151
Q

what do you call the nuclear halo of plasma cells

A

zone of hof

152
Q

diseases where there is an increased number of macrophages

A
  • hemolytic anemia
  • idiopathic thrombocytophenic purpura
  • solid tumors
153
Q

diseases associated with morphologically abnormal macrophages in the bone marrow

A
  • Gaucher disease
  • Nieman-Pick disorder
154
Q

increased number of mast cells in the bone marrow may be associated to what diseases

A
  • refractory anemia
  • chronic renal failure
  • Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
  • systemic mastocytosis
155
Q

how many metamegakaryocyte normally found in every LPO?

A

2-10

156
Q

condition wherein the macrophage will eat bacteria but engulfed organism will not die - the killing capability of macrophage is impaired as there is a problem with an enzyme

A

chronic granulomatous disease

157
Q

the enzyme that is deficient in chronic granulomatous disease

A

NADPH oxidase enzyme

158
Q

this is a type of anemia resulting from an overstimulation or prolonged infection in the body

the macrophages become busy releasing cytokines to fight off infection and is prevented from transferring iron from its cytoplasm to the red cell (its other function)

A

anemia of chronic infection/inflammation/disease

159
Q

cytokines usually released by the macrophages that are associated to blood disorders

A
  • IL-1
  • gamma interferons
  • alpha tissue necrotic factor
160
Q

main objective of fat cells in the bone marrow

A

for check and balance - prevents overpopulation of blood cells

161

to reclot bone marrow fluid that is already put in an anticoagulated tube, what chemical should be added

A

0.015M calcium chloride

162
Q

LAP stain reaction in a leukemoid reaction

A

positive - stain cells

163
Q

LAP stain reaction to leukemia

A

zero to negative

164
Q

what is a leukemoid reaction

A

it is a response of the body against invading pathogens that cause severe infection

165
Q

what is leukemia

A

cancer of blood cells that begin in the bone marrow

166
Q
A
