Match the following:
neutrophils
phagocytosis
apoptosis
mature neutrophils
immature neutrophils
eosinophils
Basophils
Monocytes
lymphocytes
natural killer
A are the blood form of macrophages which phagocytize foreign
cells, cell debris, and also act as antigen-presenting cells during
many immune responses. This is the largest of the leukocytes.
B. are the least abundant WBCs in normal blood and are difficult to
find. They are structurally and functionally similar to tissue
mast cells and produce some of the same chemicals.
C. are sometimes referred to as segs because their nucleus usually
is segmented into two to five lobes
D. cells of specific acquired immunity; are approximately the same
size as RBCs or more and have very little cytoplasm visible
around their spherical nucleus
E. 12 to 15 micrometers in diameter and are the most abundant
WBCs in blood.
F. lack nuclear segmentation and are referred to as bands
G.
the enzymatic destruction of the cell wall, and leakage through the
cell membrane caused by cationic peptides
H. programmed cell death
1. 12-15 micrometers in diameter, generally have two lobes in their
nucleus, and have red staining cytoplasmic granules. Most reside
in connective tissues and are sometimes difficult to find in blood
smears where they represent less than 3% of all leukocytes.
J. cells that comprise a third class of lymphocyte that kills foreign or
virally-infected cells without antigen-antibody interaction.
