HEMATOLOGY
1) Differentiate among the different types of blood cells and their functions.
Red blood cells- Erythrocytes- Transportation of gases, acid base balance,
White blood cells or Leukocytes- originate from stem cells
Agranulocytes-
Lymphocytes- immune response. T-cells and B-cells
Monocytes- potent phagocytic, arrive early at tissue site injury, interact with lymphocytes.
Granulocytes (white blood cells with granules in the cytoplasm) Phagocytosis Neutrophil- most common. Acute inflammatory responses
Eosinophils-engulf. Hodgkin’s lymphoma, skin and connective diseases. Parasitic infections Basophils- contain heparin, serotonin and histamine. Seen in allergic and inflammatory reactions
Platelets- Thrombocytes
Thrombopoietin growth factor produced by liver, kidneys, smooth muscle and bone marrow
Function-Initiate clotting, clot shrinkage and retraction
Hemostasis term to describe blood clotting process.
Stem cell- nondifferentiated immature blood cell in bone marrow.
