Which cell would be expected to be elevated in a viral infection?
B (lymphocyte)
Which of the following is considered a type of lymphocyte?
B cell
Match the following term with its correct description: Basophil.
Bilobed nucleus and dark-staining cytoplasmic granules
Which cell would be expected to be elevated in a chronic infection like tuberculosis?
C (Monocyte)
Which of the following is a function of lymphocytes?
Destruction of virus-containing cells
Which of the cells might rise in a bacterial infection?
E
Which of the following types of white blood cells kills parasitic worms, destroys antibody complexes, and modulates the immune response?
Eosinophils
Match the following term with its correct description: Macrophage.
Highly phagocytic cell with a U or kidney shaped nucleus
Match the following term with its function: Play a critical role in immunity.
Lymphocytes
Match the following term with its function: Differentiate into macrophages
Monocytes
Match the following term with its function: Increase in number significantly during bacterial infections.
Neutrophils
Match the following type of blood cell formed element with the appropriate description: Platelets.
Not complete cells, but fragments of cells; they are very small compared to other cellular components.
Which of the following is a function of neutrophils?
Phagocytize bacteria
Which of the following is a function of basophils?
Release histamine and other mediators of inflammation
Match the following type of blood cell formed element with the appropriate description: Eosinophils.
Their deep purple nucleus has two lobes connected by a broad band of nuclear material; their large, coarse granules stain red with acid dyes.
Which statement is false concerning this cell type?
These cells phagocytize bacteria.
Which statement is false with regard to this cell?
This cell is an agranulotcyte
Which statement is false concerning the pictured cell?
This cell is the most common type of cell in the blood.
Which property do white blood cells (WBCs) have in common?
WBCs are nucleated and have a protective function.
The migration of white blood cells out of the capillary blood vessels is called
diapedesis
Overproduction of white blood cells is called
leukocytosis
Platelets are derived from
megakaryocytes
The most numerous leukocyte is the
neutrophil
Diapedesis refers to
the movement of leukocytes from blood vessels into tissue spaces
The process of actively metabolizing oxygen by neutrophils to produce bleach and hydrogen to kill bacteria is known as
the respiratory burst
