WBC Flashcards
larger then rbc, nucleated
leukocyte
malignant proliferation of wbc producing cells
leukemia
increase wbc
leukocytosis
decrease wbc
leukopenia
turnover time of labeled compartment
grain count halving time
principle: difference in size and density allow the separation of formed elements
leukocyte fractionation
formation of life span of neutrophil
9-10 days from myeloblast to death
separates particles in similar density
zonal sedimentation
separates particles in similar sizes
zonal centrifugation
not capable of mitosis
metamyelocyte
undergo cell division
myeloblast, promyelocyte and myelocyte
contains about 15 times band and segmenters
storage pool> peripheral blood
insinuate themselves through the walls of capillaries bet. endothelial cell
diapedesis
neutrophils, distinct asymmetric shape
hand mirror
glass mirror formed by pseudopod and called
lamellopod
one of the two x chromosomes in the cell of a female become in active, what process?
lyon hypothesis
expressed in neutrophil used to detect hidden infection
cd15
condensation of chromatin below nuclear membrane
barr body
avidity binds to neutrophil
wistar antibody
neutrophils containing small and dark gray inclusion
ragocytes
ability of neutrophil to sense presence of particulate
chemotaxis or leukotaxis
undefined neutrophil defect
reduced adhesion and migration
lazy leukocyte syndorme
-random movement is normal and directional
-motility is impaired
-response with boils
job syndrome
glycoprotein found in plasma and outer membrane fibrolast
fibronectin
-opsonins are components of fresh serum that coat foreign particle
-act upon bacteria to make them tasty
opsonization
fusion of phagocytic vacuole with lysosome
degranulATION
failure of granule release
chediak higashi
inability to ingest organism
congenital c3 deficiency
chronic granulomatous disease
defect in oxidative metabolism
impairs hms, unable to produce respiratory burst
g6pd
absent only in neutrophil and monocyte
normal in eosinophil
severe candida infection
myeloperoxidase ediciency
cyclic neutropenia recurring within cycle of
19-21 days
derived from single precursor cell with all the affected cell (progeny)
clonal disorder
stable protein that serves marker for leukocyte
lactoferrin
knapsack shaped nucelus
eosinophil
eosiniphil can be found in tissues such as
skin
other epithelial barriers
intestinal tract
lungs

hansel secretion stain
charcot-leyden crystals composed of
lysophospholipase
