Cellular Innate Immunity (Chap 5, 13, 19) Flashcards
Phagocytosis
“eating by cells”
Where do all leukocytes originate
Bone marrow, (myeloid) stem cells
Neutrophil response in invading microorganisms
rapid response by eating the invading organisms
-incapable of sustained phagocytic effort.
Macrophages response in invading microorganism
move more slowly but are highly effecting phagocytes and capable of repeated phagocytosis
lobulated, irregular nucleus
polymorphonuclear
single, rounded nucleus
mononuclear
single, rounded nucleus
mononuclear
cells whose granules take up basic dyes such as hematoxylin
Basophils
Cells whose granules take up acidic dyes such as eosin
Eosinophils
Cells whose granules take up neither of the basic and acidic dyes are called?
Neutrophils
Cells that are polymorphonuclear granulocytes
-eosinophils
-neutrophils
-basophils
white blood cells that are mononuclear
monocytes
lymphocytes
neutrophils are sequestered in what organs?
capillaries within the ff:
liver, spleen, lungs, bone marrow
Neutrophil production is regulated by what cytokine
granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
Mechanism in maintaining/ matching the rate of neutrophil production and removal
Apoptotic neutrophils are removed by macrophages.
Macrophages then produce interleukin-23. Once IL-23 increases, it then promotes IL-17 production by lymphocytes and the IL-17 in turn stimulates G-CSF production and stem cell activity.
Structure of Neutrophil
10 to 20 μm in diameter.
finely granulated cytosol at the center, irregular sausage-like or segmented nucleus.
