1
Increase of wbcs count is called?
Leukocytosis
2
Decrease of all wbc count is called?
Leukopenia
3
General function of wbc?
Control inflammation, control bacteria, provide Immunity, help blood clot or help destroy clots and unwanted clots
4
What is a white blood cell estimate?
40 power, count number of wbcs per field for ten fields, divide total from 10 fields by 10, multiply by 2000=== wbc/microliter (uL)
5
What is a myloblast and promyelocyte?
A large cell with blue cytoplasm and granules
6
Three types of granulocytes?
Eosinophils, neutrophil, basophils
7
Difference between by locate and metmyelocyte?
Metmyelocyte is normal size with a more abundant cytoplasm, normal size nucleus with chromatin
8
Most common immature cell we see in dogs?
Band neutrophil
9
Horseshoe shape neutrophil.
Band neutrophil
10
Has 3-5 lobes neutrophil
A mature neutrophil
11
Where are neutrophils produced then stored?
Bone marrow
12
What happens in the neutrophil proliferating pool.
Cell division
13
What happens in the neutrophil maturation pool?
Maturing not dividing
14
What is stored in the storage pool?
Mature neutrophil
15
What is mnp?
Marginal neutrophil pool- stuck to walls, waiting to help
16
What is found in the circulating neutrophil pool?
On the look out for bad things
17
First line of defense.
Neutrophils in tissues
18
How do neutrophils rid the body of bad things?
Phago and pino cytosis
19
Old neutrophil.
Hyper-segmented neutrophil
20
Number one cell in circulating blood in cats and dogs.
Segmented neutrophil (mature)
21
Life span of mature neutrophil.
7-14 hours
22
The most common Immature cell in dogs?
Band neutrophil
23
Left shift?
Greater than 5% band cells after your final count (lots of Immature cell)
24
Why do left shifts happen?
Increased need for neutrophils
25
More than five segments.
Hyper segmented (right shift)
26
Why do we see hypersegmentstion?
We left it in a coagulant for too long, b12 deficiency
27
Causes of neutrophilia?
Muscle activity, bacterial infections, leukemia types
28
Causes of neutropenia?
Viral infection, bacteria infections, nutritional deficiencies
29
Where are lymphocytes found.
In the pleuripotent cell
