Leukocytes: The Granulocytic, Monocytic, and Lymphoid Series Flashcards
LESSON 8
Able to move into and out of blood vessels
Diapedesis
Can respond to chemicals released by damaged tissues
Chemotaxis
Has amoeboid motility, able to escape or move from tissue to circulating blood
Leukocytes
- Lighter than RBC and tend to accumulate at the periphery of flowing blood
adjacent to the lining cell of the blood vessel.
Leukocytes
Can be found in all body fluids such as ________, _______, ________, ___________, ________ from the genital tract.
sweat, synovia, pancreatic juices,
feces, urine, and secretions
- Requires folic acid for normal maturation.
Leukocytes
Types of Leukocytes
Can be divided into:
1.
2.
3.
- Granulocytic
- Monocytic
- Lymphoid
Lymphocytes are composed of _____________ and ____________
glycogen and acid phosphatase
Lymphocytes Contain _________, ________, ________, _______
alkaline phosphate, dipeptidase, oxidase and peroxidase
- Process glucose by aerobic glycolysis producing lactic acid
Granulocytes
- _________are more abundant than granulocytes
Lysosomes
- Contains large amounts of RNA and DNA
Plasma cells
- Responsible for manufacturing antibodies
Plasma cells
- A few hours in the blood
- Lymphocytes
- T lymphocytes 100-200 days
Lymphocytes
- Unknown for they always wander back and forth between tissue and the blood
monocytes
- Several days when not needed in the tissue (peripheral blood)
Granulocyte
Granulocyte
________ hours during serious tissue infection
_________ hours on average when the tissues circulate
2-3 hours
14 hours
- Movement of WBC where it can squeeze through tissues
Diapedesis
- Unidirectional movement of the tissues
- Amoeboid Motion
- Ability of the EBC to move towards or away from the source of chemical substances
Chemotaxis
WBCs are attracted toward the source
POSITIVE CHEMOTAXIS
WBCs are repelled from the source of the chemicals
NEGATIVE CHEMOTAXIS
- Ingestion of particular matter by cells
- Phagocytosis
Steps: “ICED”
- Initiation
- Chemotaxis
- Engulfment
neutrophil with bacteria inside
Phagosome
phagosome + lysosomal granules
Phagolysosome
– inability to respond to chemotactic factor
– faulty granules + impaired killing.
Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS)
- Appears during the promyelocytic stage
- Primary Granules
