87
Q

LEUKOCYTES, or white blood cells

A

There are five different kinds

of leukocytes: three granulocytes, or polymorphonuclear cells, and two mononuclear cells.

88
Q

Eosinophils

A

granules stain red [eosin/o = rosy] with acidic stain) are increased in
number in allergic conditions such as asthma. About 3% of leukocytes are
eosinophils.

89
Q

Basophils

A

(granules stain blue with basic [bas/o = basic] stain). The function of
basophils is not clear, but the number of these cells increases in the healing phase
of inflammation. Less than 1% of leukocytes are basophils.

90
Q

Neutrophils

A

(granules stain a pale purple with neutral stain) are the most important
disease-fighting cells and the most numerous. About 50% to 60% of all leukocytes
are neutrophils. They are phagocytes (phag/o = eating, swallowing)—engulfing and
digesting bacteria like circulating “pac-men.” Neutrophils are referred to as “polys”
or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (poly = many, morph/o = shape) because of their
multilobed nucleus.

91
Q

Lymphocytes

A

(lymph cells) fight disease by producing antibodies, thereby destroying
foreign cells. They also may attach directly to foreign cells and destroy them. Two
types of lymphocytes are T cells and B cells. About 32% of white blood cells are
lymphocytes. In AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), patients have a
serious depletion of T lymphocytes (T cells).

92
Q

Monocytes

A

(containing one [mon/o = one] very large nucleus) engulf and destroy
cellular debris after neutrophils have attacked foreign cells. Monocytes leave the
bloodstream and enter tissues (such as lung and liver) to become macrophages,
which are large phagocytes. Monocytes make up about 4% of all leukocytes.
