L10+11 physiology Flashcards
- occurs in red bone marrow
- is the formation of blood cells
- all blood cells arise from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (another name for it is hemocytoblast)
Hematopoiesis (hemopoiesis)
in circulating blood, _______ should be found
Mature, functional cells
- is the process of formation and differentiation of RBCs from hemocytoblasts (uncommitted stem cells)
(PEL N RE)
1. Proerythroblast
2. Early erythroblast
3. Late erythroblast: synthesize Hb
4. Normoblast: lose nucleus and some mitochondria
5. Reticulocyte: contain ribosome, mitochondria
6. Erythrocyte
Erythropoiesis
Prenatal who’s responsible for making RBC?
Liver
why is hypothyroidism is associated with anemia?
because thyroxine stimulates RBCs production, So if there’s thyroxine is low then blood is low as well
two important factors for the maturation of RBCs:
1-
2-
they are important for DNA synthesis
1- Vitamin b12
2- Folic acid
who’s responsible for making Platelets (thrombopoiesis)?
they are formed by defragmentation of Megakaryocytes
can phagocytose pathogens and also act as antigen-presenting cells
Dendritic Cells
a group of proteins found on the surface of normal human cells (like id cards) that help the immune to recognize foreign substances
Major Histocompatibility Complex
MHC
cellular immunity is mediated by ______
- major defense against infections due to viruses, fungi, bacteria
- also helps against tumors, and is responsible for delayed allergic reactions and rejection of transplants
T lymphocytes
types of T lymphocytes:
1- _______ (CD8): destroying invading cells by lysosomal enzymes, inserting proteins called perforins to destroy it.
2-_____ (CD4): manage innate and adaptive immune responses “immunity boss”
1- Killer cells or Cytotoxic T cells
2-T helper cells
humoral immunity is mediated by _____
- secrete antibodies
- ** they must contact Helper T cells to fully activate antibody formation
B lymphocytes
**types of antibodies:
1-____ : high M.W., ABO antibodies, can’t cross placenta
2-____: secretory antibodies
3-____: highest conc, smallest M.W, RH type (can cross placenta)
4-____: allergic conditions
5-____: on B lymphocytes surface
MAGED 1- Ig M 2- Ig A 3- Ig G 4- Ig E 5- Ig D
passive immunization :
immune protection by antibodies prepared in humans or animals
e.g: ______
Measles
