LEUKOPOIESIS PPT Flashcards
GROUP OF LEUKOCYTES
-Granulocytes/ Polymorphonulear
Cells
- Mononuclear cells
The immune system can recognize and identify various types of pathogens
Pathogen recognition
Triggers an inflammatory response to isolate and remove pathogens or damaged tissues
Inflammation response
The immune system maintains self-tolerance, between self and non-self
Autoimmune regulation
Myoblast make up ____ of the nucleated cells in the bone marrow and measure _____ in diameter.
0% to 3% and 14 to 20 mm
Myoblast are often subdivided into:
type I, type II, and type III
High nucleus-to-cytoplasm (N:C) ratio of 8:1 to 4:1
Type I Myeloblast
Slightly basophilic cytoplasm
Type I Myeloblast
Fine nuclear chromatin
Type I Myeloblast
Two to four visible nucleoli
Type I Myeloblast
No visible granules
Type I Myeloblast
Presence of dispersed primary (azurophilic) granules in the cytoplasm; number of granules does not exceed 20 per cell.
Type II Myeloblast
Darker chromatin and a more purple cytoplasm
Type III Myeloblast
Contain more than 20 granules that do not obscure the nucleus.
Type III Myeloblast
Rare in normal bone marrows, but they can be seen in certain types of acute myeloid leukemias.
Type III Myeloblast
Comprise 1% to 5% of the nucleated cells in the bone marrow.
Promyelocyte
Promyelocyte relatively larger than the myeloblast cells and measure
______ in diameter.
16 to 25 mm
Nucleus is round to oval and is often eccentric.
Promyelocyte
is usually seen in normal promyelocytes but not in the malignant promyelocytes
of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Paranuclear halo or “hof ”
In Promyelocyte cytoplasm is evenly basophilic and full of
primary (azurophilic) granules.
Myelocyte make up _____ of the nucleated cells in the bone marrow.
6% to 17%
The final stage in which cell division (mitosis) occurs.
Myelocyte
Begins to manufacture secondary (specific) neutrophil granules.
Myelocyte
Metamyelocyte constitute ______ of nucleated marrow cells.
3% to 20%
