50 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Multipolar neuron
-look
-found where?
-motor & interneurons
-cell body has many dendrites and 1 axon
unipolar neurons
-look
-found where?
-sensory neurons (dorsal root ganglia)
-a single dendrite and axon extend from 1 part of the neuron cell body
nervous tissue locations
-Brain
-Spinal cord
-Ganglia
-Nerves
Adipocytes are surrounded by?
external lamina (basal lamina)
-made from reticular fibers
What is contained within external lamina?
reticular fibers
white adipose tissue has what shape/structure/look?
signet ring
what is the uncoupling protein of brown fat?
UCP-1 (Thermogenin)
How does brown fat make heat?
uncouples ox. phos. at the ETC
-heat is made instead of ATP
do the number of adipocytes in adults increase? or just hypertrophy?
Adipocyte hyperplasia and hypertrophy both occurs in adults, throughout life
What cell cycle phase is adipocytes in specifically?
Interphase: G0: G-td
what hormone do adipocytes secrete and there function?
leptin --> dec hunger
what 3 hormones stimulate lipolysis?
glucagon, GH, NE
PWS secretes what excess hormone and what does this cause?
ecess ghrelin --> causing excess hunger and obesity = compulsive eating
How does cartilage tissue receive its nutrients?
Cartilage is Avascular
- receives its nutrients via diffusion ONLY (unlike bone)
red marrow vs yellow marrow in the marrow of bone
-what is each?
red marrow - blood forming tissue (hematopoiesis)
yellow marrow- mostly adipocytes
what is myeloid tisue?
Tissue with the ability to perform hematopoiesis
-AKA red marrow
myeloid cell
In hematopoiesis, the term "myeloid cell" is used to describe any blood cell that is not a lymphocyte
amount of time hematopoiesis occurs in each tissue/organ
yolk sac 2 weeks-2 months
Liver/spleen 6 weeks -birth
Bone marrow (myeloid) 3 months-birth
In development when does hematopoiesis begin in the myeloid tissue
(bone marrow)
3 months
appositional growth applies to?
interstitial growth applies to?
apo= bone
interstitial= only to cartilage (also bone)
appositional growth?
apply growth to a pre-existing suface
appositional growth applies to?
interstitial growth applies to?
apo= bone
interstitial= only to cartilage (also bone)
appositional growth?
apply growth to a pre-existing suface
csf?
what are they
types
colony stimulating factors
-the are cytokines
-IL-3 released by CD4 T-Cells
-EPO - erythropoietin
-TPO
what differentiates stem cells into different blood cell types?
CSFs
what does TPO do?
differentiate CFU-MEg --> platelets
what 2 things do PPSC become when they divide?
1) regenerate copies
2) differentiate
common name of:
CFU-GEMM
CFU-L
-common myeloid progenitor
-common lymphoid progenitor
CFU-GEMM
Granulocytes
Erythrocytes
Monocytes
Macrophages
RBC formation is under control by?
where is it made?
IL-3 - T-cells (CD4+)

EPO - made by peritublar endothelium of kidney cortex
what percent of circulating RBC are reticulocytes?
1-2%
heme is degrades into?
bilirubin
what stimulates differentiation in granulopoiesis?
IL-3 & CSF-GM (macrophage/granulocyte)
and then by CSF-G
what type of granules do granulocytes have when they develop?
-primary (azurophilic) granules

-Secondary (specific) granules
what color are primary granules?
purple-ish (burgendy)
what percent of granulocytes are band cells?
1-5%
what percent of circulating granulocytes are neutrophils?
about 60%
color/size of granules in granulocytes
Neutrophil = pale, very small

Eosinophil = orange-red, large (hamburger)

Basophil= basophilic color, large
shape of granulocytes
Neutro = segmented

Eosino= 2 lobes

Basophil= cannot see nucleus/obscure
what is the relative size of a lymphcyte?
RBC
how can you identify a monocyte?
horseshoe shape nucleus
how do you differentiate between plasma cells and orthochromatophilic erythroblasts?
The density of the nucleus

-plasma cells have splotchy nucleus
-ortho erythroblasts have a dense nucleus
what are the 2 major classes of leukocytes in the blood?
and list what is in each class?
granulated- Neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil

Agranulated- lymphocytes & monocytes
contents of neutrophilic granules
1,2,3
Primary = lysosomes with hydrolases

seconadary granules = lysozyme, collagenase

tertiary granules = MMPs, collagenase, elastase
what is the 1st lines of defense against infection?
whats next?
Neutrophils
-followed by macrophage & lymphocytes
what allows diapedesis?
selectins, integrins, and cytokines
function of eosinophil?
-phagocytose antigen-antibody complexes
-neutralize allergenic vasoactive histamine effects
-inactivates leukotriens
basophil function?
called mast cell in the tissue
-secrete heparin sulfate, histamine, leukotriene
-leads to hypersensitivity (inflammation) reactions, anaphylaxis
when do platelets aggregate?
when exposed to collagen from within/behind endothelial cells

-OR by von willebrand factor
What do platelet cells release?
alpha and dense granules, promote coagulation cascase
