five types of leukocytes Flashcards
approx 2-8% in adults
monocyte
has a lifetime of 6 hours to a few days
(days in spleen and other tissue)
neutrophil
7-8 diameter
lymphocyte
kupfer cells
- modified monocytes in the liver and spleen (sinusoidal capillaries)
- these phagocytically remove dead blood cells and particles
targets bacteria and fungi
neutrophil
has an unknown lifetime
(has a ? on the graph in work doc i’m assuming this is what that means)
basophil
has a lifetime of weeks to years
lymphocyte
has a kidney shaped nucleus
monocyte
what is this
basophil
has a lifetime of 8-12 days
(circulate for 4-5 hours)
eosinophil
which have no polka dots
agranular leukocytes
basophils
- trigger allergic reaction
- secrete histamine
- covered in dots
what is this
Basophil
which are covered in dots
basophils
what is this
Monocytes
what is it called when a person has too few white blood cells
leukopenia
which are largest and kidney bean shape
monocytes
what % is basophils?
less than 1%
<1%
has a lifetime of hours to days
monocyte
14-17 diameter
monocyte
approx 25-33% in adults
lymphocyte
what % is monocytes
3-8%
in allergic reactions
basophil and eosinophil
diameter is 10-12
neutrophil or eosinophil
what are the 3 types of granular leukocytes (polka dots)
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
- basophils
has a bi-lobed OR tri-lobed nucleus
basophil
has a multilobed nucleus
neutrophil
neutrophils
- highly phagocytic (aggressive) during early bacterial infection
- multi lobe nucleus
which are most aggressive (phagocytic) during bacterial infection
monocytes
granules - fine, faintly pink (H&E stain)
neutrophil
which have lobe nucleus & polka dots
eosinophils
what is this
lymphocyte
