Q

How should blood be smeared onto the slide when preparing a blood film?

A

Place a drop of blood onto the glass slide and smear it away from you using a second piece of glass as a spreader - this ensures the blood drop stays behind the spreader otherwise blood cells might become damaged between the two slides

Q

In what two circumstances might an increased number of basophils be found?

A

Chronic myelonous leukaemia

Hypersensitivity

17
Q

What is meant by the term left shift?

A

An increase in the proportion of band cel,s or the presence of neutrophil precursors in the blood

18
Q

The presence of what in neutrophils can be an indicator of bacterial infection?

A

Clear vacuoles

19
Q

What is seen in a blood film of a patient with CML?

A

A spectrum of granulocytes cells from myeloblasts to mature neutrophils

20
Q

What is the definition of megaloblastic anaemia?

A

anaemia in which maturation of the nucleus is retarded in relation to that of the cytoplasm.

21
Q

What are the most characteristic features of megaloblastic anaemia that are seen on a blood film?

A

Hypersegmented neutrophils and macrophages

Oval macrophages

22
Q

What is the function of the microscope stage?

A

To hold a microscope slide

23
Q

How is the degree of illumination of a microscope slide best adjusted?

A

By changing the lamp voltage

24
Q

What does a lymphocyte look like on a blood film?

A

Large round nucleus and relative lack of cytoplasm

25
Q

What is the key function of a neutrophil?

A

First line of defense in innate immunity and phagocytose microbes

26
Q

What are the key functions of monocytes?

A

Production of cytokines and phagocytosis of microbes and apoptose cells

27
Q

What are the key functions of lymphocytes?

A

Production of cytokines - T cells

Production of antibodies - B cells

28
Q

How are basophils activated?

A

Cross linking of IgE on their surface to release cytokines

29
Q

What does the release of cytokines from basophils do?

A

Helps with anti-helminth immune responses

30
Q

What are the main functions of eosphils?

A

Defense against parasitic infections through the release of specific cytokines and also involved in inflammation as seen in asthma and allergy
