Blood

Question 1

Red blood cells

Answer 1

erythrocytes, contain hemoglobin (gas exchange)

Question 2

White blood cells

Answer 2

leukocytes, immune response

Question 3

Platelets

Answer 3

Thrombocytes, blood clotting

Question 4

Granulocytes

Answer 4

neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils

Question 5

Agranulocytes

Answer 5

monocyte, lymphocyte

Question 6

Neutrophils

Answer 6

Abundance: 40-70% Function: phagocytize foreign material, can leave blood and go into tissue structure: 2x size of RBC -bands: immature neutrophil, “band” of nuclei (unsegmented) -segs: mature neutrophils, nuclei are segmented into 2-5 lobes increased during bacterial and fungal infections

Question 7

Eosinophils

Answer 7

Abundance: 1-5% Function: phagocytic, function in parasitic infections (protozoa, helminths0 Structure: 2x size of RBC -2 lobed nucleus, red/organce cytoplasmic granules Increased: during parasitic infections, severe allergies

Question 8

Basophils

Answer 8

Abundance: >1% Function: unknown, participate for an allergy response (produce histamine/heparin) Structure; 2x RBC -dark cytoplasmic granules -1-2 lobe nucelus (if seen) Increased: allergic response

Question 9

Monocytes

Answer 9

Abundance: 2-6% Function: can migrate into tissue–> macrophage when mature (phagocytic) can be seen an antigen presenting cell Structure: 2-4X RBC, bean shaped nucleus, no granules Increased: viral infections

Question 10

Lymphocytes

Answer 10

Abundance: 25-40% Function: adaptive immunity -T cells: cell mediated immunity -B cells: can become plasma cells: produce antibodies -Natural Killer cells: non-specific, kill foreign and infected cells Structure: 1-2x RBC -spherical nucleus that takes up most of the cell increased: Viral infections
