Question 3

Granulocytes

Answer 3

NeutroPHILS
EosinoPHILS
BasoPHILS

Question 4

Agranular leukocytes

Answer 4

LymphoCYTES
MonoCYTES

Question 5

Neutrophil function

Answer 5

50-70% of circulating WBC (3000-7000 normal range)
Phagocytosis is main function
Increase in “band level” is called a LEFT shift which is # of immature cells (occurs with infection, inflammation, significant physical stress)
Primarily responsible for sustaining normal host defenses

Question 6

Eosinophils

Answer 6

1-3% of WBC (abundant in mucous membranes of resp, GI, GU systems
100-400 normal range
Increases during allergies, parasitic infections, diseases of spleen and CNS
Destroy foreign cells
Hypersensitivity reactions

Question 7

Basophils

Answer 7

0.4-1% of WBC (20-50 normal range)
Increases with allergies, inflammatory disorders, infection, parasites
Releases histamine, heparin

Question 8

Lymphocyte

Answer 8

20-35% of WBC (1500-3000 normal range)
Increases with infections and immune responses
Direct cell attack or through antibodies

Question 9

Monocyte

Answer 9

3-8% of WBC (100-700 normal range)
Increases with viral diseases and chronic inflammation
Develop into macrophages/phagocytize bacteria and debris
