Q

What is a distinguishing characteristic of Eosinophils?

Study These Flashcards
A

Large cytoplasmic granules, light bilobed nucleus

23
Q

What is the function of eosinophils?

Study These Flashcards
A

Defense against worms, role in allergies (histamine), chronic inflammation

24
Q

What is the least abundant leukocyte?

25
What is a distinguishing characteristic of basophils?
Granules are so large and dark, often hard to see nucleus
26
What is the function of basophils?
Regulate response to parasites, role in allergies
27
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a lymphocyte?
Nucleus is very dark and takes up almost whole cell, often small rim of cytoplasm on the outside
28
What are the three major lymphocytes and their functions?
1. T lymphocytes - adaptive; cell-mediated immunity 2. B lymphocytes - adaptive; humoral immunity, produce antibodies 3. NK cells - innate; kill virally infected and malignant cells
29
What is a distinguishing characteristic of monocytes?
Large, dark, kidney shaped nucleus with no granules
30
What is the function of monocytes?
Differentiate into macrophages in tissue -> phagcytic cells
31
What is the smallest leukocyte?
Lymphocyte
32
Which is the largest leukocyte?
Monocyte
33
Thrombocytes (platelets) are derived from large cells within the bone marrow called _____________.
Megakaryocytes
34
What is responsible for clot formation and repairing tears in vessel walls?
Thrombocytes
35
T/F: The Monophyletic Theory of hematopoiesis states that blood cells are derived from multiple stem cells.
FALSE. All from hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)
36
_______ and _________ are the only cell types to come from the common lymphoid progenitor.
Lymphocytes and plasma
37
T/F: HSC is pluripotent while the CMP and CLP are multipotent.
True
38
T/F: The higher the potentiality of a stem or blast cell, the lower the mitotic rate of that cell.
True
39
There are 9 stages to erythropoiesis, what are the first four?
HSC -> CMP -> MEP -> ErP Hematopoietic stem cell -> common myeloid progenitor -> megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor -> erythrocyte-committed progenitor
40
What are the last five "blast" steps of erythropoeisis?
proerythroblast -> basophilic erythroblast -> polychromatiophilic erythroblast -> orthochromatic erythroblast (normoblast) -> polychromatophilic erythrocyte (reticulocyte)
41
What happens from the proerythroblast phase to the basophilic erythroblast phase?
Nucleus stays large but gets much darker along with ring of cytoplasm
42
What happens between the basophilic erythroblast phase and the polychromatophilic erythroblast phase?
Cytoplasm ring gets lighter, nucleus shrinks slightly and has much more contrast in color from cytoplasm. Nucleus has checkerboard appearance.
43
What happens between polychromatic erythroblast and orthochromatic erythroblast (normoblast)?
Nucleus shrinks considerably
44
What happens between orthochromatic erythroblast (normoblast) and polychromatophilic erythrocyte (reticulocyte)?
Nucleus disappears
45
As erythropoiesis takes place RNA ____________ and Hemoglobin ___________.
Decreases; increases
46
What are the three different processes involved in leukopoeisis?
1. Granulopoiesis 2. Monocytopoiesis 3. Lymphopoiesis
47
In granulopoiesis, how does the neutrophil pathway differ from eosinophils and basophils?
Neutrophils have a band cell stage
48
What is the general outline of granulopoeisis?
HSC -> CMP -> progenitor -> Myeloblast -> promyelocyte -> myelocyte -> metamyelocyte -> mature cell
49
What is the cell that gives rise to platelets?
Megakaryocyte
50
What is a distinguishing characteristic of megakaryocytes?
Very large cell with complex multilobed nucleus
51
What other blood cell shares a similar lineage to megakaryocytes?
Erythrocytes. (Megakaryocyte/Erythrocyte progenitor)
52
Bone marrow consists of _________ and _________ ______.
Sinusoids; hematopoietic cords
53
How is bone marrow cellularity calculated?
100% - age. Hematopoietic cells decrease with age and are replaced with adipocytes.
