HEMA LEC - Intro Lecture Flashcards
• 2 Types of PMN
o PMN – mature and segmented
o Neutrophilic bands - immature
– immature PMN
bands/ Neutrophilic bands
o Shift to the left –
immature
o Shift to the right -
mature
• with bright orange granules filled with antihistamine
Eosinophils
caused by bacterial infection
Neutrophilia:
long term drug administration
Neutropenia:
theoretical/unused, decrease of eosinophil
• Eosinopenia:
allergy, parasitism, increase of eosinophils
• Eosinophilia:
•
rare, hematologic disease (leukemia)
• Basophilia:
With dark blue granules that obscure the nucleus
basophils
- Big round nucleus, thin rim of cytoplasm
* Slightly larger than RBCs
lymphocytes
• viral infection
Lymphocytosis:
long term drug administration, immunodeficiency
Lymphopenia/lymphocytopenia
• Phagocytosis, presentation of epitopes
monocytes
• Macrophage in tissues
monocytes
• Slightly larger than other WBCs
monocytes
rare hematologic disorder
• Monocytosis:
theoretical disease of monocytes
• Monocytopenia:
- Pieces of a bone marrow cell called megakaryocyte
- Function to stop bleeding by forming a plug and releases coagulation factors (controls hemostasis)
- Forms thrombus (clot)
platelet
platelet capable of
adhesion, aggregation, secretion
• 2-4u, oval, anucleated, slightly granular
platelet
• Reference range of plt
150 – 450 K/cu. Mm
