A
  1. Transport of Oxygen and nutrients to the cells
    2) Transport of CO2 and waste away from cells
    3) Delivery of hormones and other substances to and from cells

28
Q

what are the most common granulocytes

A

neutrophils

29
Q

white kind of cells typically have 2-4 lobes

A

neutrophils

30
Q

what are the 4 kinds of granules found in neutrophils

A

specific

azurophillic

tertiary

secretary

31
Q

what is the function of neutrophils

A

Phagocytosis and Killing of Pathogenic Organisms Secretion of Cytokines and Extracellular Antimicrobial Molecules, including Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) and Pattern Recognition Molecules (PRMs)

32
Q

what do neutrophils do at the site of inflammation

A

neutrophils are active phagocytes at the site of inflammation

33
Q

What are involved in wound healing

A

Inflammation and Wound healing also involves Monocytes, Lymphocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils and Fibroblasts

34
Q

which kind of cell is assicated with allergic reactions, parasitic infections chronic inflammation and is toxic to parasites and degranulates mast cells

A

eosinophils

35
Q

what is the function of eosinophils

A

destroy larger multicellular pathogens and modulate allergic response

36
Q

what is the leasst numerous wbc

A

basophil

37
Q

what is located in the specific granules of a basophils?

A

heparin sulfate, histamine, trypstase and has mast cell activity , caboxypeptidase as an enzyme

38
Q

what kind of cell has a function simlar to mast cells

A

basophils

39
Q

what is the most common agranulocytes

A

lymphocyte

40
Q

what are the3 types of lymphocytes

A

t cells , b cells, nk cells . they are part of the immune defense system and act to recognize and produce antibodies

41
Q

what are platelets

A

small anuclueate cytoplasmic fragments with a life span of 10 days derived from megakaryocytes

42
Q

what are platelets used for

A

for normal blood clotting

43
Q

where are the 3 sites of hematopoiesis in early embryonic life

A

yolk sac

hepatic phase

bone marrow

44
Q

what does thrombopoiesis refer to

A

development of platelets

45
Q

how is the intrinsic pathway initiated

A

trauma inside the vascular system and activated by platelets exposed endothelieum chemical and collagen

46
Q

the pathway of blood coagulation is activated by …

A

it is activated by tissue factor , a protein extrinsic to blood

47
Q

what does coagulopathy refer to

A

bleeding diathesis

48
Q

what does coagulopathy refer to in terms of the condition

A

coagulopathy is a condition in which the blood ability to coagulate is impaired. There is prolonged or excessive bleeding. it may occur Spontaneously or Following an Injury or Medical and Dental procedures

49
Q

what factors will lead to bleeding disorders?

A

factor II, V,VII,X, XII will lead to bleeding disorders as they are related to clotting problems

50
Q

Describe hemophelia

A

hemophelia a and b are conditions that occur when there are low levels of clotting factors in the blood. It is x linked recessive. It causes heavy or unusual bleeding in the joints

51
Q

what is the most common inherited bleeding disorder

A

von willebrands diesease

52
Q

describe how von willebrands disease works

A

Von Willebrand’s Disease, Most Common Inherited Bleeding Disorder

Has an Autosomal Dominant Pattern of Inheritance

Develops when the Blood Lacks Von Willebrand’s Factor, which helps the Blood to Clot

53
Q

Describe DIC

A

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is a serious disorder in which the Proteins that Control Blood Clotting Become Overactive

 In this Condition Small Blood Clots Develop Throughout the Bloodstream, Blocking Small Blood Vessels

54
Q

What are some causes of DIC

A

Causes: Some Diseases and Conditions can Disrupt the Body’s Normal Blood Clotting Process and Lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

These Diseases and Conditions Include: Sepsis (an infection in the bloodstream), Surgery, Major trauma, Cancer and Complications of Pregnancy

Less common causes include Snake Bites, Frostbite and Burns

A

monocyte

58
Q

Where are platelets derived from

A

hematopoietic stem cell . then turns into megakaryoblast, megakaryocte then platelets

A

small lymphocytes

60
Q

basophils, neutrophils, eiosinophils and monocytes are derived from what cell type

A

myeoblasts
