Hema,chap 9,10 Flashcards
A group of cells who primary purpose is to defend against bacteria, virus, fungi, and other foreign substances.
Leukocytes (WBC)
granules that have
enzymes used for digestion and destruction.
Most leukocytes
Leukocytes are located in
bone marrow,
circulation, and tissues, and some may be
stored in the spleen.
The term Myelocytic used interchangeably for granulocyte to describe conditions such as:
chromic granulocytic leukemia or chronic myelocytic leukemia
The followings are Leukocyte Maturation
Cell size
N:C ratio
Chromatin pattern
Cytoplasmic quality
Presence of granules
Name the types of Leukocytes?
There are 5 stages for NEUTROPHILS
4 for EOSINOPHILS and BASOPHILS
3 for MONOCYTES and LYMPHOCYTES
Stages of Neutrophils from least to most mature are?
(mpmmbs)
Myeloblast
nucleus has thin chromatin strands
Promyelocyte
larger than a blast
Myelocyte
small pink-purple granules
nucleus stains deeper color
Metamyelocyte
nuclear indentation
Band
no filament
Segmented
2 – 5 Lobes of nucleus
Eosinophils
Red-orange specific granules
Monocyte Maturation
Monoblast
Promonocyte
Monocyte
Chromatin is loosely weaved, lacy, open, and
thin
Lymphocytes
Primary locations ?
Bone marrow
Thymus
Lymphocytes Secondary locations?
Spleen
Lymph nodes
Peyer’s patches
Tonsils
Lymphocyte Population
Two general subpopulation of Lymphocytes.
B-Lymphocytes
T-Lymphocytes
The Primary function of the Lymphocytes is ?
Immunologic: recognizing what is foreign, or nonself ,forming antibodies, and securing immunity. Nonself or foreign substances include bacteria, cell substances, proteins, and virus.
Both B-Lymphocytes and
T-Lymphocytes appear morphologically similar on peripheral smear. However, their function and deviation are quite different.
Remember that.
Cell differential (CD) markers – surface antigens
B lymphocytes comprise
10 – 20% of total lymphocytes population
Mature to plasma cells that secrete antibodies
Humoral immunity
Mature in bone marrow
which of the following cells are responsible for secreting antibody production and humoral immunity?
The Plasma cell
Which cells derive from bone marrow stem cell?
B lymphocytes
Cell differential (CD) markers – surface antigens
T lymphocytes comprise
60 – 80% lymphocytes
Cell mediated immunity
Mature in thymus
These cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity
T-cell or T-lymphoblast
Which of the following cells after maturation migrates to to thymus?
T-cell or T-lymphocyte
Natural killer (NK) cells comprise
<10% of lymphocytes
Role in resisting bacteria, viruses, and fungi
These cells are responsible in in resisting bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Natural killer (NK) cells
