Leukocytes Flashcards
Leukocytes or WBCS are only formed elemnt that is () cell with nuclei and organelles
makes up ()% of total blood volume
function: defense against ()
1
disease
() is when WBC count over () per u1
-increase is a normal response to infection
Leukocytosis
11,000
Group into two major categorizes :
(): contain visible cytoplasmic granules
(neutrophils,eosinophils,basophils)
Granulocytes
Group into two major categorizes :
(): do not contain visible cytoplasmic granules
(lymphocytes,monocytes)
Agranulocytes
Never Let My Engine Blow, 60, 30, 8, 2, 0
Mnemoic for neurophils,lymphocytes,monocytes eosinophils,basophils
() most abundant WBCs
account for 50-70%
twice the size of RBC
very ()
target bacteria
() infection
Neutrophilis
phagocytic
bacterial
() second most numerous accounts for 25%
Large (), circular nuclei with thin rim of blue cytoplasm
Two types:
T lymphocytes act against virus infected cells and tumor cells
() lymphocytes give rise to plasma cells which produce ()
() infection
Lymphocytes
dark purple
B
antibodies
Viral
() Largest of all leukocytes, 3-8% of all WBCs
abundant pale blue cytoplasm
U or kidney shaped nuclei
Leave circulation enter tissue and differentiate into ()
() infection
Monocytes
macrophages
Viral
() accounts f0r 2-4% of all leukocytes
Nucleus has two lobes connected by broad band, ear muffs
-Red stained granules contain digestive enzymes
plays role in () and asthma
(/) infection
Eosinophils
allergies
parasitic worm
()
Rarest WBCs accounting for only 0.5-1%
Deep purple nucleus
Large purplish black () granules contain histamine
(): inflammatory chemical that acts as vasodilator and bronchoconstrictor
() reaction
()blood thinner
Basophils
basophilic
histamine
allergic
heparin
Normal range:
4500-11,000
