Lecture 8 - Cardiovascular System and Blood Flashcards
Hematopoesis
Formation of blood cells.
Done by the yolk sac -> Liver -> bone barrow through development
Pluripotent Hemetopoetic Stem Cells
Stem cell for all blood cells and fragments
Be able to ID the megakaryoctye
How can blood be considered a Connective Tissue
The plasma is the ECM
The Cells is the RBC
Megakaryocyte
Very large cell near a sinus
has a polyploidy nucleus
Cells not considered mature until they leave themarrow
What color do platelets tain, H and E stain
Purple
Blood Composition
Plasma - Water, Proteins (Albumin), Nutrients
Buffy Coat - WBC and platelets
RBC
Erythrocytes (how they stain, properties)
Stain Eosinophillic because hemoglobin is positive
Anucleuated
Lifespan 120 days
Get stuck and destroyed in the spleen
Biconcave Allows
Increase gas exchange and increase surface area
Size of RBC
7.5 micrometers so can be used to measure nearby
How Hemoglobin is Recycled
Recycled in Spleen
Heme -> goes to liver for excretion
Iron -> recycled in liver
White Blood Cell Classification (two broad ones)
Granulocyte - cells with specific granules with function
Agranulocytes - Granules that it has do not have specific function
ID TIP - Look at nucleus then cytoplasm
Order of frequency of WBC
Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Eosinophil, Basophil
Neutrophil (nucleus and granule type)
Granulocyte
two -Five lobed nucleus
cytoplasm granules
- specific granules - are bacteriolytic enzymes (dont stain)
- azurophilic granules - stain a little purple, are non specific lysozyme
- Tertiary granules = facilitate movement through Connective tissue
ID - See multilobed nucleus, and not staining cytoplasm
Eosinophils (nucleus and Granule Type)
Granulocyte
Two - three lobed nucleus
Granules stain color of RBC (pink)
Granules
- eosinic granules - involved in parasite infection stain pink
- Axurophilic granules - non specific for breaking bacteria
ID - Look for the pink cytoplasm and bilobed nucleus
Basophils (nucleus and Granule Type)
Granulocyte Cannot See nucleus Granules Dark Basophilic granules - releases histamin and heparin - specific Also Azurophillic Granules
ID - look for the dark staining all of cell
Monocytes (nucleus and Granule Type)
Agranulocyte
largest cell in peripheral
Nucleus is kidney shape located not in the middle
Some grandules not specific
** when migrates to connective tissue becomes a macrophage **
ID - look for kidney
