Delivery of regulatory substances (hormones) to and from the tissues

Buffer function (maintaining pH)

Immune function
Percentage of the volume of cellular elements vs total volume
Hematocrit
Agranulocytes
Lymphocyte

Monocyte
Granulocyte
Neutrophils

Eosinophils

Basophils
Smallest plasma protein, maintains colloid osmotic pressure, carrier protein for hormones (thyroxin), metabolites (bilirubin) and drugs (barbiturates)
Albumin
Immunoglobulins - what type of globulin
gamma
Plasma proteins secreted by liver, maintain colloid osmotic pressure, carrier protein by copper (ceruloplasmin), iron(transfferin) and hemoglobin
Alpha, beta globulins
Largest plasma protein secreted by liver, clot formation
Fibrinogen
What type of membrane is RBC
Lipid bilayer
Integral membrane proteins
Glycophorins, band 3 protein - anchore cytoskeletal proteins
Peripheral membrane proteins
Hexagonal lattice network
Sickle cell anemia is caused by single point mutations in gene that encodes the _ of hemoglobin A valine is substituted by _
Beta globin chain of hemoglobin A

Glutamic acid in position 6
Make up 50-70% of granulocytes
Neutrophils
Make up 2-5% of granulocytes
Eosinophils
Make up 0.3% of granulocytes
Basophils
Make up 25-30% of agranulocytes
Lymphocytes
Make up 8% of all agranulocytes
Monocytes
- Multilobed nucleus
- Heterochromatin in periphery of nucleus
- Euchromatin in the middle of the nucleus
- Can have drum stick appendages
Neutrophils
Drumstick shaped appendage on the nuclear lobes of neutrophils
Barr body in females
Primary granules in neutrophil are also called
Azurophylic granule
Secondary granules in neutrophil are also called
Specific granules
Larger granules in neutrophil, lysosomes containing myeloperoxidase that generates bactericidal hypochlorite, also have cationic proteins called defensins that are bactericidal
Primary (azurophilic) granules
Smallest granules, most numerous, contain enzymes (type IV collagenase, phospholipidase), complement activators, bactericidal agen (lysosime)
Specific (secondary) granules
2 types of tertiary granules in neutrophils
Phosphatase containing

Metalloprotease (gellatinase and collagenase) - facilitate migration of neutrophils through connective tissue
Describe migration of neutrophils to the site
Selectins interact with selectin receptor on endothelium

Integrins are activated by chemokine signal of endothelium

Integrins and immunoglobulins on the neutrophils bind to their receptors on the endothelium

Mast cells release histamin and heparin that opens a gap on the capillary

Neutrophil migrates into connective tissue

Further migration is directed by chemoattractants to the injury site
_ recognize the antibodies coating the antigen
Fc receptor
- Large red granules in cytoplasm

- BILOBED NUCLEUS

- Heterochromatin in the periphery of the nucleus

- Euchromatin in the middle of the nucleus

- Specific granules (cristalloid body, granule matrix) and azurophylic granules (lysosomes)

- Small Golgi and few mitochondria
Eosinophils
Major basic protein of eosinophils
Cristalloid body
Cytotoxic to protozoans and helminths parasites
Cristalloid body + granule matrix
- Slightly smaller than neutrophils
- Large blue granules
- BILOBED NUCLEUS OBSCURED BY GRANULES
- Heterochromatin in periphery, euchromatin in middle
- Specific granules (heparan sulfate, histamine, SRS A), azurophilic granules
Basophils
Plasma membrane of this cells posseses Fc receptors for IgE - triggers release of substances from granules, expresses CD 40L protein that interacts with complementary receptors CD 40 on C cells increasing IgE synthesis
Basophils
INTENSELY STAINING SLIGHTLY INDENTED SPHERICAL NUCLEUS with thin pale basophilic ring of cytoplasm surrounding nucleus
Lymphocytes
60-80% of lymphocytes
T lymphocytes
20-30% of lymphocytes
B lymphocytes
5-10% of lymphocytes

CD16, 56, 94
Primary effector in cell mediated immunity, recognize antigen bound MHCI MOLECULE ON VIRUS INFECTED AND NEOPLASTIC CELLS
Secretes lymphokines and perforins that produce ion channels in the infected cell membrane leading to lysis, play role in rejection of allografts and tumor immunology
CD8 LYMPHOCYTES
