Lymphoid

22
Q

Hematologic stems cells provide?

A

Continuous renewable lifetime supply of req blood cells

23
Q

What stimulates the release of EPO from kidneys?

24
Q

A

120d before removal by reticuloendothelial system (spleen)

25
Q

Anemia means?

A

Low RBC H/H

26
Q

Retic count may elevated in response to?

A

Anemia

BM trying to Maintain tissue perfusion

27

28
Q

Hgb NL chain composition

A

2 alpha

2 beta

29
Q

Each hgb chain contains what? Purpose?

A

Ferrous iron in a heme ring binding reversibly to O2

30
Q

What is the best indicator of O2 carrying capacity

31
Q

Hct is

A

% total blood volume occupied by RBCs

32
Q

MCV is?

A

Avg size of RBCs
Microcytic <80
Normocytic 80-100
Macrocytitc >100

33
Q

RDW is?

A

Est size range of RBCs

Higher number the greater the size difference

34
Q

Reticuloendothelial sys is? Components?

A

Dumpster sys for removing aged/damaged RBCs
90% extravascular - spleen
10% intravascular

35
Q

RBC components outcome w/in extravascular RES sys (spleen)

A

Heme > bili > iron
Iron recycled to BM via transferrin
Bili returned to liver via ALB for conjugation and secretion in gut as bile to aid fat digestion

36
Q

RBC components outcome w/in intravascular RES sys

A

RBCs are released w/in circulatory sys

Free hgb is bound by haptoglobin and returned to liver

37
Q

40
Q

Eosinophils purpose

A

Allergic rxn and parasituc infections

41
Q

Basophils purpose

A

Intensify inflam response by releasing

  • heparin
  • Histamine
  • Serotonin
42
Q

Largest WBC

43
Q

B-cell lymph purpose

A

Destroy bacteria via humoral sys by producing antibodies

44
Q

T-cell lymph purpose

A

Destroy viruses, fungi, transplant cells, cancer cells by releasing cytokines

45
Q
