ANSWERS GRADED A+
●● The circulating pool contains cells that are counted on a diff, while
the marginating pool contains cells that are located adjacent to the
endothelial lining of the vessels and migrate or diapedese into the tissues
first.
Answer: What is the difference between circulating pool and
marginating pool?
●● Primary, they contain myeloperopxidase, and they are first seen in
promyelocytes.
Answer: Which granules are non specific? What do they contain and
where are they first seen?
●● Secondary, they contain lysosomes, and they are first seen in
myelocytes.
Answer: Which granules are specific? What do they and where are they
first seen?
●● Chemotaxis - neutrophils attracted to move toward bacteria.
Opsonization - bacteria is coated for phagocytosis
Phagocytosis - neutrophils engulf the bacteria
, Degranulation - granules fuse and then discharge
Oxidative burst - generates H2O2
Kills bacteria - potent chemicals are used to kill bacteria
Inflammation - results from damage to the surrounding area
Answer: What is the process, in order, of granulocytes killing
organisms?
●● A percentage, based on a total of 100 WBCs. The relative percentage
multiplied by total WBC count.
Answer: What is the relative white cell count? What is the absolute
white cell count?
●● Differentiate based on what stage of infection patient is in.
Neutrophilia is seen with acute stage of infection and during the first
infection. Neutropenia is seen with recurrent chronic infection.
Answer: How do you differentiate between neutrophilia and
neutropenia?
●● Higher
Answer: Do children have higher or lower lymphs than adult?
●● Eosinophils seen in high numbers in allergies, parasitic infections,
and leukemias. Basophils seen in high numbers in CML and other
