Define anisocytosis.
varying cell sizes
Defi ne poikilocytosis
varying cell shapes
From which cells do B cells
arise?
stem cells in bone marrow
From which cells do plasma
cells differentiate?
B cells
How can a Nissl stain be used
to differentiate microglia
from oligodendroglia?
Microglia are not discernable in a Nissl stain while oligodendroglia appear as small dark nuclei with dark chromatin
In what type of CNS tissue
(white or grey) are
oligodendroglia predominant?
white matter
Into what cell type does a
monocyte differentiate in
tissues?
Macrophages
Name 2 substances produced
by an eosinophil.
histiminase and arylsulfatase
Name the three types of
leukocytic granulocytes.
basophils, eosinophils, and
neutrophils
Name the two types of
mononuclear leukocytes.
lymphocytes and monocytes
What are 2 functions of T cell
lymphocytes?
- cellular immune response -
regulation of B lymphocytes
and macrophages
What are 2 morphological
features of microglia?
- small irregular nuclei - and
relatively little cytoplasm
What are 3 examples of
peripheral lymphoid tissue?
- follicles of lymph nodes -
white pulp of spleen -
unencapsulated lymphoid
tissue
What are 3 functions of a
macrophage?
- pagocytosis of bacteria, cell debris, and senescent red cells - scavenges damaged cells and tissues - can function as an antigen presenting cell
What are 3 morphological
characteristics of monocytes?
- Large - Kidney-shaped
nucleus - Extensive ‘frosted
glass’ cytoplasm
What are 4 characteristics of
the plasma cell morphology?
- Off center nucleus - Clock
face chromatin distribution -
Abundant RER - Well
developed Golgi apparatus
What are 4 morphologic
characteristics of
lymphocytes?
- Round - Small - Densely
staining nucleus - Small
amount of pale cytoplasm
What are 4 substances
contained within the
lysosomes of neutrophils?
- hydrolytic enzymes -
lysozyme - myeloperoxidase - lactoferrin
What are 4 types of cells into
which T cells di! erentiate?
- cytotoxic T cells (MHC I, CD8) - helper T cells (MHCII, CD4) - suppressor T cells - delayed hypersensitivity T cells
What are the 5 important
causes for eosinophilia in
humans?
Neoplastic, Asthma, Allergic
process, Collagen vascular
disease, and Parasites
(pneumonic NAACP)
