10. When considering the leukocytes categorized as granulocytes, what is the correlation between their name and the color of their granules? Define the following terms: a. Leukocytosis 11. b. Leukopenia c. Leukemia You have a patient with a productive cough, producing rusty-brown mucus. They are febrile and are having chills and night sweats. You order a blood analysis and note that their leukocyte count is above 10,000 per pil of blood, with neutrophils numbers greatly increased In considering the possible type of infection, what would you say is the most likely infectious agent and why? 12. 13. What determines blood type in the ABO blood group? 14. What blood type is considered to be the universal donor and why? 15. What blood type is considered to be the universal recipient and why? Cardiovascular System: Blood Laboratory3Explanation / Answer
10. Granulocytes are characterized by the presence of granulocytes in their cytoplasm. Diffrent types are
a) Neutrophil : granules in neutrophils are small, they are stained light pink to bluish purple, they are named because of neutral color.
b.) Eosinophil : their granules are acid red in color, they are named so because of eosin which is type of dye.
c.) Basophil : their granules are deep blue in color, they are named so because of basic blue.
11.) leukocytosis : This is condition which occurs when the count of white blood cells are more than the normal, this condition generally occurs when there is infection, inflamation or tissue damage.
b) Leukopenia : This is a condition which occurs when there is decreased amount of white blood cells in the blood, they generally occur due to viral infection such as common cold or infuenza.
c) Leukemia : It is cancer of blood or bone marrow, which is charecterized by increase in the number of immature or abnormal leukocytes.
12.) High count of leukocytes or neutrophil could indicate that there is bacterial infection.Neutrophhils are the primary white blood cells that responds to a bacterial infection, their increase could be due to bacterial infection especially pyogenic infections.
13.) ABO blood group is determined by the absence or presence of Antigen A or Antigen B, which are present on the surface of red blood cells.
14.) Blood group O is considered as universal donor because their blood do not contain Antigen A or Antigen B.
15.) Blood group AB is considered as universal recipient because their blood contains both the Antigen A and Antigen B.
21) Viral infection : A low white blood cell count uually denotes viral infection.
Allergic reaction : A high eosinophil count could indicate allergic reaaction
Anemia : A low level of hemoglobin in blood can indicate anemia.
Parasitic infection : A high level of eosinophil count can also indicate parasitic infection.
