(P) Week 2: Bone marrow and Lymphoid Organs Part 1 Flashcards
```
~~~
What are the primary lymphoid organs?
bone marrow
Thymus
What are the secondary lymphoid organs?
spleen
lymph nodes
MALT (Mucosa Associated lymphoid tissue)
Tonsils / BALT (bucosa-associated lymphoid tissue)
Appendix
Peyer’s patches / GALT (gut associated lymphoid tissue)
liver
what is the other name for lymphoid organs due to the presence of macrophages
reticulo-endothelial systems
all macrophages are ________
professional phagocytes
what do macrophages ingest?
debris and abnormal cells
2 types of immunity
natural and acquired immunity
what cell is responsible for acquired immunity
macrophages
Macrophages can assume as ____________ which presents antiens in our immune system
“antigen-presenting cells”
Macrophages trigger our _____ to recognize future infections
WBCs
Antigen-independent activation happens where?
bone marrow and thymus
The ability of lymphocytes to differentiate into different types in the primary lymphoid organs without the help of an antigen
Antigen-independent activation
Where does further stimulation of lymphocytes occur after the bone marrow and thymus?
secondary lymphoid organs
Type of differentiation that occurs in the secondary lymphoid organs
antigen-dependent differentiation
common site for bone marrow collection
anterior and posterior iliac crest
for adults
red marrow can also be found on the ___________
distal ends of long bones
widely on FLAT BONES
type of bone made up of the haversian system
compact bones
What are spongy bones made out of
bone trabeculae
the red marrow in spongy bone is located within the _______
trabeculae
what supports the bone marrow tissue
trabeculae
T or F
It is uncommon to collect blood as the bone marrow is aspirated
F (it is inevitable because the bone marrow is highly vascularized)
This is where the veins enter into the bone
nutrient foramen
This also supplies blood into the compact bone which enters the haversian system where it will turn into capillaries and venules before going back to the vein
periosteal artery
the interconnections between osteocytes
canaliculi
T or F
It is inevitable to obtain parts of the compact bone when retrieving a bone marrow aspirate sample
T
Pathologists may observe _____ and _____ in the microscope as it is inevitable to obtain parts of the compact bone when retrieving a bone marrow aspirate
osteocytes and osteoblasts
T or F
osteocytes are similar to plasma cells
F (osteoblasts)
forms the matrix of compact bone, releases substances that help the bones to become hard
osteocytes
where most of the BVs are innervating on the Haversian system
Haversian canal
3 different parts of the red bone marrow
stromal cells
hematopoietic cells
blood vessels
part of the bone marrow composed of arterioles, venules, and sinusoids
blood vessels
plasma cells are derived from the differentiation of the __________
b cell
cells found outside the hematopoietic cells
stromal cells
familiarize the stromal cells
endothelial cells
reticular adventitial cells
adipocytes
macrophages
fibrous cells
supports the maturation of RBCs by giving off the iron content in their cytoplasm
macrophages
stored iron
ferritin
What is the stain used for iron
Perl’s / Prussian Blue
ferritin consists of:
apoferritin (protein)
ferric iron
where does iron granules adhere whenever RBCs are in need of iron?
macrophage’s cytoplasm
these will then seep out to the cytoplasm of the maturing RBC
These are released by the macrophages to activate our immune system cells in times of chronic infections
cytokines
familiarize the common chemicals that are associated with blood disorders
IL 1, gamma-interferon, and alpha-tissue necrotic factor
what is the disease that takes place due to the oversaturation of cytokines, secondary to prolonged infections
anemia of chronic infection
this regulates the production, differentiation, and development of hematopoietic blood cells existing in the bone marrow
adipocytes
what is the normal ratio of fat cells and hematopoietic cells in the adult bone marrow
50:50 or 1:1
T or F
children are expected to have more adipocytes than hematopoietic cells
F (more hematopoietic cells kasi they have more red marrow)
T or F
as we age, bone marrow cells get depleted
T
what is the bone marrow cellularity formula
100- age of the patient = expected % of bone marrow cells
