Monos, eos, baso, and mast cells

Question 1

Monocytes

Answer 1

In blood, migrate into tissues to become dendritic cells and macrophages.

Question 2

Kinetics of monocytes/macrophages

Answer 2

No storage pool, have circulating and marginating pool. Long lived and can divide at least once in tissues

Question 3

Monocytosis

Answer 3

Similar response as neutrophils since they share a stem cell

Question 4

Eosinophil kinetics

Answer 4

Short (30min to 12hrs) in blood but long lived in the tissue. Can get massive tissue accumulations without an eosinophilia

Question 5

Eosinophilia causes

Answer 5

-Hypersensitivity
-Parasitic disease
-Mast cell degranulation
-Addison’s disease
-Hypereosinophilic syndrome
-Paraneoplastic eosinophilia

Question 6

Eosinopenia causes

Answer 6

Corticosteroids
Hyperadrenocorticism

Question 7

Basophilia causes

Answer 7

Rare
-Hypersensitivity
-Parasitic disease
-Neoplasia

Question 8

Basopenia

Answer 8

Not recognized

Question 9

Mast cells

Answer 9

Round nucleus
More often in tissue
