Leukocytes Flashcards
Which are the granulocytes and mononuclear cells
Gran=neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils
Mono=lymphocytes, monocytes
How to calc abs neutrophil value
Total wbc count x neutrophil percentage (decimal)
Which tissue leukocyte cam recirc
Lymphocytes via lymphatic sys
Momocytes are
Temp mononuclear cells. Become macrophages
Mast cells are involved in
Hypersensitivity rxns
Neutrophils are aka
PMN
polymorphyonuclear
Avian and reptile equiv of neutrophil
Heterophil
Chemotaxis
Acrion of being attracted by chem messengers
Chemoattractants
Chem mediators
Neutrophil time in bloostream
5-10h
Neutrophil time in tissue
24-48h
In what animals is MNP CNP equal, 3x larger
Dog, horse, calf - equal
Cat - MNP 3x> CNP
What approxes CNP
Wbc and differential count
Which are members of
Mitotic pool
Maturation storage pool
Mitotic…myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes
Mat…metamyelocytes, bands, segs
What is left shift
Usually assoc with
Describe the 2 types
Increased numbers of i mmature neutrophils in blood
Inflamm conditions. Infectious, immune, infiltrative bone marrow disease
Degen = immature neutro > mature
Regen = mature > immature neutrophils
Name 4 major processes that influence measured blood neutrophil conc
Production
Release from bone marrow
Distrib b.w CNP MNP
Migration from blood to tissue
