Q

Band neutrophils

A

2-5% of neutrophils are band neutrophils, immature granulocytes, which when elevated in the blood can indicate infection. Bands are in the development stage following a metamyelocyte and have a
curved, elongated nucleus.

Q

Pleuripotential stem cells, “True stem cells”

A

potential to differentiate to almost any cell type in the body
capable of self renewal, low mitotic activity.
Few stem cells in Bone Marrow and fewer in blood.
High potentiality and self renewal capacity.
Not susceptible to growth factors.

Q

Multipotential stem cells

Study These Flashcards
A

Have the ability to differentiate into many cell types, but are more limited than pluripotential.

21
Q

Progenitor cells

Study These Flashcards
A 
Able to differentiate into a specific cell type, but is pushed to differentiate into its "target" cell.  Mono or bipotential. 
High mitotic activity. 
Self renewing. 
Common in marrow or lymphoid organs.
Influenced by growth factors.
22
Q

Precursor cell

Study These Flashcards
A

Have the ability to differentiate into one cell type, mono- potential, begin to look morphologically different
High mitotic activity
not self renewing
affected by growth factors.

23
Q

Colony forming cell

Study These Flashcards
A

“Colony forming Unit”- a unit that is used to estimate the number of viable cells in a sample.

24
Q

Plasma proteins

Study These Flashcards
A

Albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, prothrombin

25
Serum
plasma from which the blood cells & fibrinogen has been separated in the process of clotting. “straw-colored”; contains factors released by platelets, but does not include clotting factors, platelets, or cells
26
Plasma
liquid extracellular component, ~55% of blood volume. 90% water, 7% protein, 0.9% inorganic ions
27
Erythropoiesis
1. Decrease cell size 2. Increase condensed chromatin 3. Decrease nuclear size, nucleus extruded 4. Decrease mRNA, Increase hemoglobin
28
Granulopoiesis
1. Decrease cell size 2. Increase condensed chromatin 3. Nucleus shape changes 4. Granules form
29
Erythropoietin
1. O2 decreases in blood 2. Kidneys increase EPO 3. EPO increases erythropoiesis
30
Immunocompetent cell
cell able to mount an immune response
31
Humoral immunity
Activation of B lymphocytes (Synthesize antibodies)
32
Cellular immunity
Involves phagocytes, cytokines, and t-cells (NOT ANTIBODIES)
33
Memory cells
Activated B lymphocytes that respond more rapidly and efficiently to additional encounters with identical or related antigenic substances
34
Antigen-presenting cell
cell that displays foreign substance on it’s surface. Dendritic cell, B cell and macrophages
35
Central and peripheral lymphoid organs
Central (aka primary) are bone marrow and thymus. Peripheral (aka secondary)- lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, peyer’s patches, MALT
36
Waldeyer's ring
pharyngeal, palatine, lingual tonsils = form circle at entrance of gut and airway
37
Peyer's patches
secondary lymph organ, located in small intestine
38
Immunoglobulin (Ig) antibody
large Y shaped protein produced by plasma cells that is used by immune system to ID and neutralize pathogens
39
Innate (natural) immunity
Present from birth, nonspecific in it’s activity(skin epithelial surfaces are first defense of this immunity)
40
Adaptive (acquired, learned) immunity
Aquired through contact with specific pathogens during our lifetime. Protects againt re-infection
41
Primary lymphoid tissue
Where lymphocytes are formed and matured
42
Secondary lymphoid tissue
Where adaptive immune responses are initiated, filter lymph in the periphery
43
Tonsils
3 tonsils. Partially encapsulated with connective tissue, Made of lymphoid tissue. Form a circle at entrance of gut and airway and if full of lymphocytes to detect what is coming into the body.
44
Spleen
Filters blood to remove damaged cells. Activates immune response to microbes in blood.
45
Lymphoid follicles
Organized for activation of B cells. Mostly B cells, some helper T cells and follicular dendritic cells (to help with activation of second response)
46
Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT)
``` Diffuse lymphoid tissue with scattered T and B lymphocytes. Monitor periphery: Gut Associated (GALT) Bronchi Associated (BALT) Conjuctiva Associated (CALT) ```
47
Pharyngeal tonsils
roof of pharynx, respiratory, no crypts, 1st defense in ingested/inhaled pathogen
48
Palatine tonsils
sides of oropharynx, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium w/ crypts, immunity
49
Lingual tonsils
behind tongue, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium w/ crypts, immunity
