Q

Steps of phagocyte function of neutrophils

A

Chemotaxis

Phagocytosis

24
Q

2 mechanisms of neuhophils phagocytic function

A

Respiratory burst which is oxidative burst

Anti-microbial proteins non-oxidative killing

25
What is the Respiratory burst killing
Reactive oxidative products activates elastase collagenase leading to surrounding tissue injury
26
What is the anti-microbial proteins non oxidative killing
Proteins like defensins, lactoferrin, in granules
27
Steps of neutrophils phagocytosis
``` Chemotaxis Microbe adherence to phagocyte Ingestion of microbe by phagocyte Formation of a phagosome Phagosome + lysosome fusion -> phagolysosome Microbe digested by enzyme Residual body with indesgitible material Discharge of waste material ```
28
What is left shift
Increase in number of immature neutrophil cell types among the blood cells
29
Physiological changes causing variation of neutrophil counts
After exercise Pregnancy, lactation Mental /emotional stress
30
Pathological causes of Neutrophil
Acute pyogenic bacterial infection Burns After hemorrhage Myocardial infarction
31

1.00-3.00 x 10^9
51
Causes of lymphocytosis
Chronic infections like tuberculosis viral infections autoimmune disease
52
