A substance called _______ increases blood flow to sites of infection. 5.. Histamine has two functions: To _______ blood vessels and to _______ cell permeability. 6.. Upon activation and degranulation, eosinophils release several types of cytokines including _______, _______ and _______.
1) What are two visible characteristics you can use to distinguish neutrophils from other cells? A) Neutrophils have dark granules and a bilobed nucleus. B) Neutrophils have pink granules and a bilobed nucleus. C) Neutrophils have light granules and a three-lobed nucleus. D) Neutrophils have no granules and a large round nucleus. 2) Patients with some kinds of anemia have reticulocytes present in high amounts as their bodies try to make up for their low oxygen blood. How do reticulocytes appear and why? A) Crescent-shaped hemoglobin is mutated, leading to crystal formation. B) Stained network and cytoplasm, immature erythrocytes that haven't eliminated all remaining genetic materials. C) Smaller than normal, erythrocytes are produced too rapidly. D) Larger than normal, erythrocytes made too slowly. 3) There are two slides of different patients. Patient A sample has high amounts of neutrophils, and Patient B sample has high amounts of eosinophils. What do the cells have in common? A) Both are granulocytic. B) Both are phagocytic. C) Both are cytotoxic. D) Both are anucleated.
