WBC Flashcards
where do WBC come from
Haematopoetic stem cells in the bone marrow
where are HSC found
boen marrow
granulocytes
granulocytes are WBC with granule proteins
agranulocytes
WBC without granules
purpose of granules in granulocytes
proteolytic enzymes and lysosomes to break down cell walls
granulocyte examples
Neutrophils
Eosinophhils
Basophils
where does a macrophage come from,
monocyte
neutrophil
phagocytosis and chemotaxis
monocyte 3
phagocytosis and chemotaxis

macrophage
phagocytosisand chemotaxis
oesinophil
kill parasites
BASOPHIL 2
immune surveillance
spot, seek and slaughter cancer cells
contains histamines for inflammation

what is margination and adhesion
when WBC moves to endothelium and attaches in response to inflammation
what is histmaine
inflammatory mediator
what are natural killer cells
a type of lymphocyte
what are natural killer cells
a type of lymphocyte which kills cancerous cells
what do natural killer cells do
kill cancer cells
haematopoeisis for lymphoid progenitors
1 innate (NK) or adaptive(T or B cell)
neoplasm
tumour
leucocytosis
WBC condition (too many)
leucopenia
WBC too few
example of leukocytosis
basophyllia or lymphocytosis
penia
que pena because you don’t have enough
deficient
example of leucocytosis
basophyllia or lymphocytosis
what suffixes can denote leucocytosis
Phillip or cytosis
phylia
too many
causes of phyllia/cytosis
Nice Pret Neoplasm Infection Corticosteroids Excercise Pregnancy Tissue damage
causes of penia
Chemo or radio therapy
autoimmune disorders
infection
anemia
too little Hb in blood
what type of WBC is a Nk cell
lymphocyte
