Macrophages - ANSWER-first line of defense against foreign invaders, or
antigens. they engulf, ingest, and enzymatically break down foreign
matter.
Ex. Bacteria, Pollen, viruses, and fungi
B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes - ANSWER-attack specific antigens
while maintaining a memory of these antigens for future defense
Lymphomas and Leukemias - ANSWER-neoplastic disorders that affect
WBC's
Neoplastic- abnormal growth of cells
Lymphomas - ANSWER-solid tumors of lymphoid cells, affect
approximately 3% of U.S. population
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - ANSWER-affects people primarily between 15-20
years of age and those aged 50-70
One of the most curable hematologic cancers and affects 1 in 25,000
annually
Leukemias - ANSWER-proliferation of cancerous WBCs
, affects approximately 350,000 annually, with 90% of those cases
diagnosed in adults
3rd most common cancer in children
proliferation- rapid increase in numbers
Normal WBC count, with differential - ANSWER-Normal WBC's count
5,000-10,000 cells per microliter
Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear): 40%- 80%
Immature Neutrophils (bands): 0-10%
Lymphocytes: 20%-40%
Monocytes (Macrophages) : 2%- 10%
Eosinophils: 1%-7%
Basophils: 0%-7%
pluripotent stem cells - ANSWER-differentiate into each of the different
types of blood cells
more names Myeloid and lymphoid stem cells
Blast cells - ANSWER-immature white blood cells
Lymphocytes (developement) - ANSWER-mature to a certain extent in
the bone marrow, but then leave and complete the maturation process
in lymphoid tissue
B lymphocytes (developement) - ANSWER-develop in plasma cells,
within lymph nodes
T Lymphocytes (developement) - ANSWER-maturation in thymus gland,
they become T helper(cd4) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8)
Monocytes - ANSWER-mature into macrophages in tissues where they
are phagocytic
could also become dendritic cells- present antigens to T cells
