White Blood Cells

Front 1

leukocytes

Back 1

wbc
-5000-10,000 wbcs/ul
has nucleus(can make protein)
* travels in blood before migarating to connective tissue*
-fight infection before it gets into bloodstream
-function- protection against pathogens

Front 2

Granulocytes

Back 2

Neutrophils
Eusonophils
Basophils

Front 3

Neutrophils

Back 3

increase in bacterial infection
-phagocytosis of bacteria
-release of antimicrobial chemicals(cells explode and release antibacteria)
-

Front 4

phagocytosis

Back 4

engolf the bacteria and destroys it

Front 5

Eusonophils

Back 5

increase in parasitic infection
-phagocytosis of antigen-antibody complexes, allergens and inflamitory chemicals
* release enzymes to destroy paracyte)

Front 6

Basophils

Back 6

increase in chicken pox, sinusitis, diabetes
-secrete histamine(vasodilator)
secrete heparin(anticoagulant)

Front 7

Agranulocytes

Back 7

lymphocytes
monocytes

Front 8

Lymphocytes

Back 8

increase in diverse infections and immune responses
-destroy cells(cancer, foreign, and cirally infected cells)
-"present" antigens to activate other immune cells
-Coordinate action of other immune cells
- secrete antibodies and provide immune memory

Front 9

Monocytes

Back 9

increase in infection and inflamation
-differentiate into monophages
-phagocytize pathogens and debris
-"present" antigens to activate other immune cells
- has large size in order to have the pac-man effect

Front 10

Platelets

Back 10

small fragmentsof megokarocyte cytoplasm
-2-4um diameter:contains granules
-ameboid movement and phagocytosis

Front 11

megakarocytes formed

Back 11

in red bone marrow

Front 12

platelet count

Back 12

130,000- 400,000

Front 13

Function of WBC

Back 13

-Secrete clotting facts and growth factors for vessel repair
-initiate formation of clot dissolving enzyme
-phagocyte bacteria
-chemically attract neutrophils and monocytes to sites of inflamation
