Study Notes

White Blood Cells (WBCs)

WBCs offer rapid and strong defense against infections.
Lymphocytes are produced in lymphoid tissues like lymph glands, spleen, and thymus, as well as in bone marrow and Peyer’s patches in the gut.
Bone marrow stores about three times more WBCs than those circulating in blood, providing a 6-day supply.
Neutrophils initiate the inflammatory response by being the first cells to leave the bloodstream and enter inflamed tissues.
Monocytes migrate to inflamed tissues and differentiate into macrophages.

Inflammatory Process

Inflammation serves as a protective mechanism against pathogens, toxins, and injuries.
Leukocyte extravasation (transmigration) involves the movement of WBCs from the bloodstream into tissues during inflammation.
Chronic inflammation occurs when an inflammatory response persists despite the removal of threats.

Monocyte-Macrophage Cell System

Comprised of monocytes, mobile and fixed macrophages, and specialized endothelial cells in tissues like bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes; known as the Reticuloendothelial System (RES).
Functions include removing foreign objects and toxins, forming new blood cells, and clearing waste materials.

Characteristics of Inflammation

Inflammation creates a "walling off" effect to isolate the injury, preventing the spread of bacteria and toxins through fibrinogen clots.
Local vasodilation and increased capillary permeability are caused by histamine release from mast cells during inflammation.

Impact of Leukemia

Characterized by high counts of abnormal WBCs and hampers the production of functional leukocytes.
Leukemic cells produce rapidly, leading to increased demand for nutrients and energy depletion in the body.
Types of leukemia include Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Types of Macrophages

Various specific types of macrophages exist, such as microglia (in the CNS), intestinal macrophages, histiocytes, and alveolar macrophages (in the lungs).
