LECTURE 3 | Hematopoietic Tissue Flashcards
Unique form of Connective tissue
Blood
3 Major Cell types
- Erythrocytes (RBC’s)
- Leukocytes (WBC’S)
- Thrombocytes (Platelets)
Determine the percentage of each in blood:
• Plasma
• Buffy Coat
• RBC
• Plasma = 55%
• Buffy Coat = 1%
• RBC’S = 45%
Blood cell production
Hemopoiesis
The site of hemopoiesis occurs in the different sites of the body, depending on the ____________.
Stage of development
The sites of hemopoiesis when it is still an embryo is in the ___________ and later in the development of liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
Yolk sac
In the newborn, all bone marrow is _______ and functions in hemopoiesis.
Red marrow
All blood cells originate from a common _________ in the red bone marrow that is self-renewing.
Stem cell
During hemopoiesis, some lymphoid cells remain in the bone marrow and migrate via bloodstream to lymph nodes and the spleen, where they proliferate and differentiate into _______________, after which they colonize peripheral lymphoid tissues.
B-lymphocytes
Other undifferentiated lymphoid cells migrate to Thymus gland, where they proliferate and differentiate into immunocompetent ___________.
T-lymphocytes
These 2 lymphocytes both resides in numerous peripheral lymphoid tissues, lymph nodes, and spleen.
B and T lymphocytes
Initiate immune response when exposed to antigens
B-lymphocytes & T-lymphocytes
B and T lymphocytes has a different protein markers on their cell surfaces, by what means does it allow to be distinguished?
By immunohistochemical means
Delivers oxygen from lungs to the tissues
Erythrocytes
Facilitates carbon dioxide transport
Erythrocytes
• Acts as buffer and regulates hydrogen ion concentration
• Contributes to blood viscosity
• Carries blood group antigens and Rh factor
Erythrocytes
A major blood cell type that is subdivided in Granulocytes and Agranulocytes depending on the absence/presence of granules in their cytoplasm.
Leukocytes
What are the 3 leukocytes that belong to the Granulocytes group?
✓ Neutrophils
✓ Eosinophils
✓ Basophils
Capture and destroy invading microorganisms
Neutrophils
Mediators of inflammation
Neutrophils
