Q

What color will Segmented Neutrophils stain?

A
  • clear
  • not visible when stained
17
Q

What is the Segmented Neutrophil?

A
  • “The Adult”
  • most common in blood
  • primary WBC found in pus
  • first responder to either trauma or bacterial infection
  • can reach inflammation site within minutes
18
Q

How long do Segmented Neutrophils live?

A

about 5 days

19
Q

What is the Band Cell?

A
  • “The Baby Neutrophil”
  • sometimes called Stab Cell
  • immature neutrophil
  • indicates there is a high demand for neutrophils during inflammatory response
20
Q

What is the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?

A
  • The Senior Citizen
  • has atleast 5 lobes
  • has been in circulation for a while
  • usually indication of iron deficency anemia
21
Q

What is the Lymphocyte?

A
  • The Guard Dog
  • has large nucleus
  • second most common
  • defend against:tumors, bacteria, viruses and foreign invaders
22
Q

What are the 3 types of Lymphocytes?

A
  • T cells: long life (years)
  • B cells: short life (months at longest)
  • NK cells
23
Q

What is the Monocyte?

A
  • The Scavenger
  • 3rd most common
  • have vacuoles used to phagocytize foreign debris/invaders
  • if left bloodstream :Macrophage!
  • only live a few days
  • die after phagocytizing
24
Q

What is Eosinophil?

A
  • The Allergy Slayer
  • 4th most common
  • primary function: defense against parasites and allergies
  • attracted to histamines and other things released during basophilic degranulation
  • histamine neutrolizer!!!
25
Q

What is the life span of Eosiinophil?

A
  • 8-12 hours in circulation
  • 8-12 days in tissue if not required to respond to invader
26
Q

What is Basophil?

A
  • The Unkown Stranger
  • least common
  • can migrate to tissue if needed
  • no real job
  • granules are histamine and heparin used to attract eosinophils to help respond to invaders
  • live few days
