Histology - Blood And Hemopoiesis Flashcards
Tertiary granules
- Gelatinase
- Cathepsins
Azurophilic granules
- Acid hydrolase
- Myeloperoxidase
- The antibacterial agent lysozyme
- Bactericidal permeability-increasing (BPI) protein
- Cathepsin G
- Elastase
- Nonspecific collagenase
What induce the endotelial cells to express “intercellular adhesion molecule type 1”?
- Interleukin-1
- Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
Leukotrienes
- Is synthesized by neutrophils
- Assist in the innitiation of the inflammatory process
- Activate leukocytes, causing them to migrate to the site of antigenic challenge
Gelatinase
Degrades the basal lamina, facilitating neutrophil migration.
Azurophilic granules content
Is released to ECM and cause tissue damage
Catalase and glutathione peroxidase
Limit the tissue injury caused by the azurophilic granules by degrading hydrogen peroxide
Pus
Accumulation of dead leukocytes, bacteria, and extracellular fluid.
Internum (electron-dense center)
- Major basic protein
- Eosinophilic cationic protein
- Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin
Hydrolytic enzymes
Function in both the destruction of parasitic worms and in the hydrolysis of antigen-antibody complexes internalized by eosinophil
Results in the migration of eosinophils to site of allergic reaction, inflammatory reaction, or parasitic worm invation
Histamine, leukotrienes, and eosinophil chemotactic factor (released by mast cells, basophils and neutrohpils)
Inactivate the pharmological initiators of the inflammatory response
- Histamine
- Leukotriene C
Chemotactic factors
- Thromboxane A2
- Superoxide
- Bradykinin
- TNF factor “alpha”
- Prostglandin D2
- Leukotrienes B4
- Leukotrienes C4
- Leukotrienes D4
- Leukotrienes E4
- Adenosine
- IL 4
- IL 5
- IL 6
- Platelet activating factor
- Granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factor
T cells responsible for the initiation and development of most of humorally and cellulary mediated immune responses
T helper cells
T cells responsible for the suppression of most of humorally and cellulary mediated immune responses
Regulatory T cells/T supressor cells
Cytotoxic T cells (CTLs; T killer cells)
Make physical contact with and kill foreign of virally altered cells
Hyalomere
Peripheral clear region of the platelet
Granulomere
Central darker region of the platelet
Two tubular systems in hyalomere
- Surface opening (connecting) tubular system
- Dense tubular system
Granulomere
Contain:
- Mitochondria
- Glycogen deposits
- Perixosomes
- 3 types of granules:
- “Alpha”-granules
- “Delta”-granules
- “Lambda”-granules
What does the enzymes in the granulomere permit the platelet to do?
The granulomere also houses enzymes that permits platelets to catbolize glycogen, consume oxygen, and generate ATP
What is the microtubules function in the platelet?
The microtubules assist the platelets in maintaining their diskoid morphology. The microtubules are associated with aktin and myosin monomers.
Platelet adhesion
The activated platelet adhere to the damaged region of vessle walls
Platelet aggregation
The activated platelets adhere to each other
What inhibit platelet aggregation?
Prostacyclins and NO
These are produced by the endothelium
Injured endothelial cells release:
- von Willebrand factor
- Tissue thromboplastin
- Endothelin
Endothelin
A powerful vasoconstrictor that reduces the loss of blood,
It is produced by injured endothelial cells.
What makes the platelets “sticky” causing circulating platelets to adhere to the collagen-bound platelets and to degranulate?
- Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
- Thrombospondin
Thromboxane A2
A potent vasoconstrictor and platelet activator.
Convertet from arachidonic acid.
Thrombin
Facilitate platelet aggragation.
Coverted from prothrombin
Coagulation factors:
Tissue thromboplastin and platelet thromboplastin both act on circulating prothrombin, coverting it to thombin
Thrombin and the presence of calcium:
Convert fibrinogen to fibrin
Bloot clot (thrombus)
The fibrin form a reticulum clot, entangling additional platelets, erythrocytes, and leukocytes into s stable, gelationous blood clot (thrombus)
