|
Mesoderm |
Most Connective tissue: Bone, Muscle, and Blood Urogenital system, cardiovascular system, Dermis, and Coelomic lining and Coelom origin |
|
Plasma Function |
Transport hormones, nutrients, and waste in the blood |
|
Erithrocytes |
Red Blood Cells |
|
Erithrocyte Functions |
Transport CO2 and O2 |
|
Erythrocyte development |
Kidney causes development in the bone marrow and the cells live 120 Days and then are broken down in the kidney and spleen |
|
Erythropoiesis |
Development of Red Blood Cells |
|
Leukocytes |
White Blood cells |
|
Leukocyte Functions |
Transport Immune Cells |
|
Platelet Function |
Transport Clotting factors |
|
biconcave disk |
the shape of Erythrocytes to maximize surface are with a diameter of 7.5um |
|
ameboid |
the cell shape of the Leukocytes |
|
Non-funtional |
The role of white blood cells in blood |
|
granulocytes |
specific cells that contain granules |
|
Granules |
small encapsulated organelles designed to kill intruders |
|
Agranulocytes |
Cell type where granules are not specific including the monocytes and lymphocytes |
|
Lymphocytes |
smallest white blood cells |
|
Monocytes |
largest white blood cells and fuse together to form large molecules |
|
Neutrophils |
Most Common white blood cells |
|
Bacteria |
Neutrophils are the first line of defense against _______________. |
|
chemotaxis |
the method neutrophils use to locate foreign antigens |
|
Cytokines |
Released by neutrophils into the blood that travel to the bone marrow to signal more white blood cell growth |
|
Pyrogens |
increase body temperature to make the environment less desirable for bacterial function |
|
Neutrophil development |
takes place in the bone marrow and then cells travel for a couple of days in the blood and then take up residents in Connective tissue or the spleen |
|
Bilobed nucleus |
Eosinophil definig characteristic |
|
Eosiniphil |
Protect against parasites and cause "allergic reactions," and inflamation |
|
degranulate on the surface of parasitic worms and anti-histamines |
How do Eosiniphils defend |
|
Basophils |
Rarest white blood cells cause you to build antibodies |
|
Basophil granules |
contain histamine and heparin that leak into intersticial fluid that allow white blood cells more movement and cause swelling |
|
heparin |
anti-coagulant in basophil granules |
|
Primary exposure |
basophil antigens accumulate on cells |
|
Secondary exposure |
Immunological response of antigens |
|
Mast Cells |
look like basophils but from different lineages |
|
Mast Cell development |
leave bone marrow and move to connective tissue where they mature at inside-outside barriers |
|
lysosomes |
non-specific granules |
|
Macrophages |
Monocytes after they Circulate for a few days and then migrate to connective tissue |
|
Monocytes function |
break down old red blood cells, bacteria, and antigens |
|
antigen presenting cells |
monocytes that present antigens on a cell membrane to attract other white cells
|
|
Lymphocytes |
T-Cells and B-Cells |
|
Memory Cells |
B- Lymphocytes that remember an antigen and return to the spleen or lymphnodes |
|
Effector cells |
B-lymphocytes that battle antigens and carryout immune response |
|
T-lymphocyte function |
migrate into the blood from the bone marrow and move to the thymus where they mature and form clones of identical cells |
|
B-Lymphocyte |
Migrate into the spleen, tonsils, and lymphnodes when exposed to antigens and divide into memory or effector cells |
|
T-suppressor cells |
inhibit the immune response |
|
Killer T-Cells |
target cells with intruder antigens and foreign and virally altered self cells |
|
T-helper Cells |
