Leukocytes

Question 1

What do myleoblasts create?

Answer 1

neutrophil eosinphil, basophil, monocyte

Question 2

neutrophil

Answer 2

Most abundant + first responder
kill = engulf
short-lived (death forms pus)
circulate in blood and can move to tissue if needed

Question 3

eosinphol

Answer 3

mainly eliminates parasites (releases chem)
rarely found in blood, but common in mucous membrane

Question 4

basophil

Answer 4

NOT COMMON
initiate inflam. response by releasing histamine (regulates inflammations) and heparin (blood thinner)
circulate in blood

Question 5

monocyte

Answer 5

Largest of 5
engulf + shares responabilities with neutrophil
slower to respond, but longer lasting

Question 6

What can monocyre become?

Answer 6

macrophage, dendritic cell

Question 7

What do macrophages do?

Answer 7

they are slower to respond, but better prepared

Question 8

what do dendritic cells do?

Answer 8

identifies pathogen and sends signal to lymphatic system

Question 9

Everything abt lymphoctes

Answer 9

make antibodies & target specific
common in lymph system (slow + need dendritic cell’s help)
B-cell –> antibody secreting cell
T-cell - mediate B-cell activity
destroys virus infected body
