Myeloid stem cells produce - answers :granulocytes, monocytes, platelets, and red
blood cells
Mature cells are found in - answers :blood vessel
What do t cells do? - answers :manage the immune response
Attack and destroy foreign cells
What do b cells do? - answers :make antibodies
If you have a problem with lymphatic circulation you will have? - answers :edema
Afferent lymphatic vessels - answers :bring lymph from lymphatic circulation into a
lymph node
What checks if there are pathogens in a lymph node? - answers :lymph fluid
Efferent lymphatic vessels - answers :transport filtered lymph out of the lymph node
When monocytes migrate from the blood to the tissues they mature into? - answers
:macrophages
,Where are large amounts of macrophages found? - answers :spleen
Primary function of macrophages - answers :phagocytosis
Macrophages are the first defense against an - answers :antigen
What type of immune system do macrophages function in? - answers :innate (non
specific/same process occurs no matter the cause of infection/inflammation)
Most common circulating wbc - answers :neutrophils
Two types of lymphocytes - answers :t cells and b cells
Two most common t cells - answers :cd4-t
Cd8-t
What type of immunity are lymphocytes? - answers :adaptive immunity (specific and
depends on the cause)
Why are lymphocytes part of long term immunity? - answers :after exposure to an
antigen they recognize, target, and have memory of that specific antigen
What are granules? - answers :powerful digestive enzymes that kill microorganisms and
engulf the debris
What is the name for mature neutrophils? Formal and referred name - answers
:polymorphonuclear leukocytes (segs)
How many nuclei does a mature neutrophil have? - answers :many (multi-lobe)
How many nuclei does an immature neutrophil have? - answers :one (band like)
What is an immature neutrophil called? - answers :band cell
What is the function of eosinophils? - answers :response to allergy and parasitic
responses
What is the function of basophils - answers :produce histamine and heparin to fight
parasitic infections
What does a cbc with differential include? - answers :total numbers of rbc, wbc,
hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and the % of each type of wbc
Increase in wbc over 11,000/ul - answers :leukocytosis
Leukocytosis in excess of 50,000/ul - answers :leukemoid reaction
, What causes a leukemoid reaction? - answers :diseases other than leukemia
A decrease in all types of wbc below 4,000/ul - answers :leukopenia
What does leukopenia do to the body? - answers :increases risk of infection, decreases
signs of infection, and diminishes healing ability
How does leukopenia diminish healing abilities? - answers :decreased wbc, leads to
decreased/no inflammation, decreased/no wound healing
