ANSC 220 Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Megakaryocyte, Fibroblast, Lymph Node
Document Summary
Leukemia: phagocyte: a cell that can engulf or devour bacteria, foreign matter or. Other cells: leukemia: an increase in the number of leukiocytes in the blood, leukopenia: a decrease in the number of leukiocytes in the blood, formed elements, white blood cells (wbc; leukocytes, functions. Immunity: removing harmful material, producing antibodies, prevents blood clotting, vasoconstriction, classifications, granulocyte, have granules, neutrophils, basophils, basic stain, eosinophils, acidic stain, agranulocyte, no granules, monocyte, both stain basic. Lowered eosinophil counts have been associated with stress: basophils. Little or no phagocytic action: approximately 1% or less granulocytes, prevents intravascular blood coagulation, prevents blood and lymph stasis during inflammation, contains heparin, prevents clots, vasoconstrictor, monocytes. Large in size: originate in bone marrow, superior phagocytic properties, predominant during chronic infection. Lymphocytes: formed in lymph nodes, can revert to monocytes, hemocytoblasts, fibroblasts, excess fluid can be cleaned. Leukemia: abnormal growth and development of wbc.
