Leukocyte Development, Kinetics, & Function Flashcards
3 forms of cell production
Erythropoiesis, Leukopoiesis, and Megakaryopoiesis
A bacterial infection will most likely cause a dramatic increase in which cell line?
Neutrophils
2 forms of leukopoiesis
Myelopoiesis and lymphopoiesis
Where does hematopoiesis occur?
Bone Marrow
this theory suggests that all blood cells are derived from a single progenitor stem cell
Monophyletic Theory
Growth factors and ______ are terms that can be used interchangeably
cytokines
these are a group of soluble proteins that modulate the functional activites of other cells; responsible for stimulation or inhibition of RBC maturation
cytokines
an essential cytokine in the early stages of hematopoiesis because stimulates cell proliferation
C-Kit; aka Stem Cell Factor
what does GM-csf stand for?
Granulocyte Macrophage
What does Meg-csf stand for?
Megakaryocyte
what does G-csf stand for?
Granulocyte
What does M-csf stand for?
Monocyte
How can colony stimulating factors be used in patient care?
To start production of different cell lines
Cytokines that exhibit multiple biologic activities including regulation of autoimmune and infammatory reactions and hematopoiesis
Interleukins
2 examples of interleukins
IL-3 and IL-6
Interleukin that controls production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages
IL-3
Interleukin that stimulates myeloid and lymphoid cell linneages
IL-6
programmed cell death
apoptosis
accidental cell death
necrosis
as cell matures what two things happen?
Decrease in cell size and decrease in N:C ratio
What specific changes occur in the nucleus during cell maturation?
loss of nucleoli, decrease in size, condensation of chromatin, possible shape changes, possible nucleus ejections
What specific changes occur in the cytoplasm during cell maturation?
Decrease in basophilia, increase in amount of cytoplasm, and granules may appear
This cell has a nucleus with 2-5 nucleoli, moderate basophilia with less than 5 granules, and is not present in peripheral blood; these cells are increased in leukemia
Myeloblast
These cells have a round to oval nucleus with 1-3 or more nucleoli, slightly coarser chromatin than myeloblast, basophilic cytoplasm with few red to purple primary granules and no secondary granules; these are not present in peripheral blood under normal conditions
Promyelocyte
Primary granules are composed of ________
Myeloperoxidase
