Peripheral Blood
5
Erythrocytes = RBCs NO NUCLEUS Contain hemoglobin
6
Platelets
7
Leukocytes = WBCs Granulocytes Neutrophils = PMNs = “polys” Eosinophils = “eos” Basophils = “basos” Agranulocytes Lymphocytes = T and B cells B cells plasma cells Monocytes Macrophages (M Φ )
8
Granulocytes PMNEosBaso PMN
9
Neutrophils Numerous Multilobed nucleus Azurophilic & Specific granules Phagocytose bacteria
10
Basophils Rare! Lobulated nucleus often obscured by granules Dark Blue Granules Hydrolytic enzymes, heparin sulfate, histamine, SRS Function Role in hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis
11
Eosinophils Bilobed nucleus Bright pink Granules Arginine rich major basic protein, peroxidase, histaminase, arylsulfatase Function: Important in allergic rxns, parasitic infections, and phagocytosis of Ab-Ag complexes
13
Monocytes Largest WBCs in blood smear Migrate through blood to the tissues; once in tissues they differentiate into phagocytes (macrophages, osteoclasts)
15
Lymphocytes About size of RBCs Function Adaptive immune system T & B cells
16
Questions Which of the below cell types would increase in number with a bacterial infection? Viral? Parasitic?
17
Bone Marrow Smear
18
Erythropoesis
20
Proerythroblast Biggest in lineage Large central nucleus with one or two nucleoli Basophilic cytoplasm b/c ribosomes Look for Golgi ghost
21
Basophilic Erythroblast Smaller than proerythroblast Checkerboard nucleus (heterochromatic) Intense basophilia (lots of ribosomes!)
22
Proerythroblast vs Basophilic Erythroblast
23
Polychromatophilic Erythroblast Smaller than basophilic erythroblast Smaller intensely heterochromatic nucleus Purple/lilac cytoplasm mix of basophilia from ribosomes and growing eosinophilia from hemoglobin LAST MITOTIC STAGE!
24
Normoblast Smaller than polychromatophilic erythroblast Small, compact, intensely staining nucleus that is getting ready to be extruded Eosinophilic cytoplasm due to abundant hemoglobin
25
Reticulocyte Immature RBC that has polyribosomes Appear as polychrom- atophilic erythrocyte on blood smear When stained with a special (supravital) stain Reticulocyte
26
Erythrocyte Smallest Eosinophilic due to hemoglobin NO NUCLEUS!
27
Review
28
Granulopoesis
29
Ross Fig 9-18 p. 235
30
Development of Granulocyte (focus on PMN)
31
What are Granulocytes? WBCs that contain specific granules Granule contents vary between cell types and stain differently Neutrophils (“polys” or PMNs) Eosinophils Basophils
32
Trend of Development Larger smaller Azure granules specific granules Round nucleus altered shape nucleus Granulocyte Lineage: Myeloblast → Promyelocyte → Myelocyte → Metamyelocyte → Band → Granulocyte
33
Myeloblast Prominent nucleoli
34
PROmyelocyte Details Golgi ghost Can’t distinguish type of granulocyte yet Eccentric nucleus Don’t confuse with proerythroblast or basophilic erythroblasts
35
Myelocyte Last stage in which mitosis can occur Begin to see who’s a neutrophil, who’s an eosinophil (who’s a basophil) Golgi ghost
36
Neutrophilic Myelocyte vs Eosinophilic Myelocyte
37
METAmyelocyte nucleus changing shape, not spherical No more mitosis
38
Band Cell Immature granulocyte Elongated nucleus of nearly uniform width; horseshoe/U-shaped
39
Finally...
40
Myeloblast – no granules capable of mitosis Promyelocyte – azurophilic granules Mylocyte – specific granules Metamylocyte – specific granules nucleus changes shape Band cell – (PMN only) specific granules Mature Granulocyte – specific granules
41
Review
42
Compare what you see...
43
Megakaryocyte Huge Platelets form from invaginations of this Multilobular nucleus
46
