Exam 2 preparation, Book Davis Advantage for Pathophysiology: Introductory Concepts and
Clinical Perspectives 2nd Edition Theresa Capriotti DO, MSN, CRNP, RN . Questions with
Answers
Macrophages - correct answersfirst 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 - correct answersattack specific antigens while maintaining a memory
of these antigens for future defense
Lymphomas and Leukemias - correct answersneoplastic disorders that affect WBC's
Neoplastic- abnormal growth of cells
Lymphomas - correct answerssolid tumors of lymphoid cells, affect approximately 3% of U.S. population
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - correct answersaffects 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 - correct answersproliferation 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 - correct answersNormal 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 - correct answersdifferentiate into each of the different types of blood cells
more names Myeloid and lymphoid stem cells
Blast cells - correct answersimmature white blood cells
Lymphocytes (developement) - correct answersmature to a certain extent in the bone marrow, but then
leave and complete the maturation process in lymphoid tissue
B lymphocytes (developement) - correct answersdevelop in plasma cells, within lymph nodes
T Lymphocytes (developement) - correct answersmaturation in thymus gland, they become T helper(cd4)
and cytotoxic T cells (CD8)
Monocytes - correct answersmature into macrophages in tissues where they are phagocytic
could also become dendritic cells- present antigens to T cells
Lymphocytes - correct answersA type of white blood cell that make antibodies to fight off infections and
contribute to long-term immunity
