Q

Function of Erythrocytes

Study These Flashcards
A

Exchange O2 and CO2 between
the erythrocyte and capillary wall. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in hemoglobin changing a glutamic acid to a valine that renders the erythrocyte sickle shaped and inflexible and therefore removed by the spleen.

18
Q

What is Anemia?

Study These Flashcards
A

low concentration of hemoglobin in the circulatory system

19
Q

What are the causes of anemia?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Loss of blood - hemorrhage
  • Insufficient production of RBCs (e.g. low erythropoietin (epo) from diseased kidney)
  • RBCs with insufficient hemoglobin e.g. iron deficiency
  • Accelerated RBC destruction e.g. sickle cells
20
Q

Two types of Neutrophil granules

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Azurophilic (purple): non specific or primary lysosome, myleoperoxidase and acid hydrolases
  • Specific (salmon pink): secondary or neutrophilic, close to limit of neutrophilic, proteases and lysozyme
21
Q

What is diapedesis?

Study These Flashcards
A

the migration of leukocytes between endothelial cells into connective tissue

22
Q

Mechanisms of Pagocytosis and killing of bacteria (2)

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Oxygen dependent: Superoxide radicals (O2-) and Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also converted by MPO into hypochlorous acid (HOCl)
  2. Oxygen independent (lysosomes)
23
Q

Inflammaratory cell may inadvertently damage?

Study These Flashcards
A

DNA and cause cancer

24
Q

Eosinophil: externum

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Peroxidase

- Hydrolytic enzymes

25
Eosinophil: Internum (crystalline)
- Major basic protein - Eosinophil cationic protein - Neurotoxin
26
Eosinophil
- contain eosinophil granules - have specific granules with a stripe (Internum) - Attacks parasites (e.g. helminthic worms): limits inflammation by inactivating leukotrienes and histamine
27
Basophils and mast cells secrete:
eosinophil chemotactic factors
28
Basophilic Granules
- Heparin (anti-coagulant) - proteases - Histamine (vascular permeability) - Eosinophil chemotactic factor
29
Basophil Functions:
- inflammation | - recruit eosinophils
30
Inflammatory Activity of Basophils and Mast Cells
1. A specific antigen (also called allergen) bridges two adjacent IgE receptor molecules anchored to the FceRI receptor 2. Cytosolic calcium is mobilized 3. Granule and lipid mediators and cytokines are released Granule mediators - 1- 5 minutes Lipid mediators - 5-30 minutes Cytokines - minutes/hours
31
Biological Effects of Basophils and Mast Cells
1. An inhaled allergen crosses the bronchial epithelium 2. The allergen interacts with IgE receptors on the surface of mast cells and induces degranulation. Released mediators (histamine, leukotrienes, eosinophil chemotactic factor and others) induce: a. chemoattraction of eosinophils b. Increased permeability of blood vessels (edema) c. constriction of smooth muscle (broncho constriction) d. Hypersecretion of mucus by goblet cells
32
Monocytes have a ____ _____ system
Mononuclear phagocyte
33
What is a mononuclear phagoycte system?
A group of cells that have slightly different morphology and play a role in phagocytosis
34
What cells derived from monocytes?
1. connective tissue 2. lung 3. serous cavities 4. bone 5. brain 6. spleen 7. lymph node 8. marrow 9. interstitial wall 10. breast milk 11. placental 12. granuloma (multinucleated giant cell)
35
Phagocytosis and APC activity of Tissue Macrophages
- these cells stimulate the immune system, produce antibodies or T cell mediated cell death through antigen presenting cell - Interleukins secreted by T cells bind to an interleukin receptor on the surface of a B cell - Macrophage is also an antigen presenting cell
36
Hemostasis Vascular Injury: Vasoconstriction
reduced blood loss
37
Hemostasis Vascular Injury: Platelets
- adhesion - activation - aggregation (Primary Hemostatic Plug)
38
Hemostasis Vascular Injury: Clotting Cascade
- fibrinogen to fibrin | Definitive Hemostatic Plug
39
Blood clot formed by platelet aggregation with aid of Von Willebrand’s factor binding Factor VIII from blood plasma to form?
fibrin
40
Hemophilia A is absence of?
Factor VIII.
41
Platelets will stick immediately to ___ ____
subendothelial collagen
