Physiol Lab Quiz 3: Labs 7,8,9 Flashcards
Name the cell that monocytes differentiate into
Macrophages
Distinguish sickle cell disease vs. acute lymphocytic leukemia vs. acute monocytic leukemia vs. eosinophilia
- Sickle cell disease: Defect in protein part of Hb (Hb A (normal) vs. Hb S)
- Acute lymphocytic leukemia AKA acute lymphoblastic leukemia: type of cancer where the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes
- Acute monocytic leukemia AKA acute monoblastic leukemia: type of cancer where the bone marrow makes too many monoblasts (monocyte precursor)
- Eosinophilia: elevated eosinophil count
Define: antigen, antibody, agglutinate/agglutination
Antigen: molecules (sugars or proteins) on all cell membranes that can be recognized as foreign by another individual
Antibody: proteins released by plasma cells that can bond specifically to antigens
Agglutinate/agglutination: clumping of RBCs due to antibodies attaching to RBC’s antigen
Identify a person’s blood type based on their blood typing plate results
Type: test for patient’s blood type by looking for the presence of antigens using commercially available antibodies
— If agglutination occurs in that blood sample with that antibody, they have that anitgen
Explain erythroblastosis fetalis
- Rh- mom has Rh+ baby
- @ birth, mom may be exposed to Rh+ blood
- May produce anti-D antibodies (takes time)
- Future pregnancies, anti-D antibody cross placenta → agglutination (then hemolysis)
However, RhoGAM covers antigen D, so mom doesn’t make D antibodies
What are erythrocytes and what is their primary function?
red blood cells that transports mostly oxygen and a little bit of carbon dioxide
What are the different types of granulocytes and what do they each do?
Granulocytes: blood cells that contain visible staining granules; there are 3 types (-phils)
1. Neutrophils: combat against bacterial infections by undergoing phagocytosis
2. Eosinophils: responds to allergies and parasitic infections
3. Basophils: It releases histamine, which causes vasodilation allowing more blood to the injured site. It also can release heparin, which is an anticoagulant that helps prevent blood clotting
What are the different types of agranulocytes and what do they each do? Also what are the different types of lymphocytes and what do they each do?
Agranulocytes: leukocytes that contain granules that do not stain well; there are 2 types (-cytes)
1. Lymphocytes: different types of immune functions depending on the type of lymphocyte (3)
— B lymphocytes (B cells): matures in BONE MARROW and can differentiate into plasma cells to secrete antibodies
— T lymphocytes (T cells): matures in the THYMUS and pokes holes in the plasma membrane of cells to have them undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death)
— Natural Killer (NK) cells: attacks bacteria, transplanted tissues, and host cells that contain viruses or become cancerous by poking holes in the plasma membrane to cause them to undergo apoptosis
2. Monocyte: become macrophages that undergo phagocytosis on cells that are infected or on cellular debris; they display the antigen of the pathogen on their plasma membrane to alert our immune system of the pathogen
What are the relative amounts of leukocytes? List them from most to fewest.

1. Neutrophils
2. Lymphocyte
3. Monocyte
4. Eosinophils
5. Basophils
What are platelets and what do they do?
Platelets: fragments of a bone marrow cell called megakaryocytes. Platelets help with the process of blood clotting

Name the structure in the cardiac conduction system that serves as the pacemaker
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
Starting from the SA node, list the structures that electrical impulses travel through in the cardiac conduction system
- SA node
- Internodal pathway
- Atrioventricular (AV) node
- Atrioventricular (AV) bundle/ Bundle of His
- Right and Left Bundle branches
- Purkinje fibers
What is the AV node delay?
The AV node slightly holds the electrical impulse to allow sufficient time for the ventricles to fill with blood before it sends the electrical impulse to the AV bundle
Draw an ECG with 3 heartbeats. Be sure to label all the waves on 1st heartbeat, all the segments on the 2nd and all the intervals on the 3rd.
ECG checkpoint:
(3) Waves: P wave, QRS complex, T wave
(3) Segments: PR/PQ segment, ST segment, TP segment
(2) Intervals: PR/PQ interval, QT interval
NOTES:
- Segments: end of one wave-beginning of next wave (flat line); shorter
- Intervals: at least 1 wave + 1 segment; longer
