o Also contain histamine, tryptase, slow tumor necrosis factor, plasma proteins,
reacting substance and eosinophil membrane adhesion proteins
chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis Monocyte-Macrophage System
Basophilic Function o Monocytes migrate to peripheral
o Effector cells in allergic disorders tissues where they assume the role of
mediated by IgE and T helper cells; also macrophages
in the immune response to parasites o Includes kupffer cells of the liver,
o High affinity membrane receptors microglia of CNS, langerhans cells of
specific for IgE skin, alveolar macrophages in lung, and
o Immediate Hypersensitivity osteoclasts of bone
(Anaphylactoid) Reaction Monocyte Function
Release of histamine and o Has capacity for phagocytosis
other vasoactive mediators o Monocytes that migrate to tissue
during degranulation proliferate as macrophages when
Allergic rhinitis, asthma, stimulated by growth factors
urticaria, anaphylactic shock o Macrophages become active when
o Cutaneous Basophil Hypersensitivity exposed to interferon-gamma
Cell-mediated produced by T lymphocytes
hypersensitivity o Macrophages process and present
Degranulation is slow antigen to the immune system and
Basophils serve as infiltrating secrete cytokines for tissue repair
cells in allergic dermatitis
and skin allograft rejection Platelets
Small, non-nucleated; round/oval biconcave
Agranulocytes discs
Lymphocytes Function for platelet plug formation and clot
Smallest cells among WBCs formation, coagulation, and vascular repair
Second most common leukocyte; 20-50% of Granules
circulating WBCs o With purple-stained and granular
With round nucleus and small amount of pale, cytoplasm
basophilic, non-granular cytoplasm o 20% of platelet volume are granules
o Large lymphocyte: cytoplasm visible, o Alpha Granules
activated form (B and T lymphocytes) Contain membrane adhesion
o Small lymphocyte: cytoplasm sparse, molecules and coagulation
inactivated form factors
Plasma membrane exhibits small cytoplasmic o Dense Granules
projections which appear as short microvilli in Contain serotonin and ADP
EM Cytoskeleton
o Well-developed
Monocytes o Dense Tubular System
Largest among WBCs Intracellular store of calcium
2-10% of circulating leukocytes released into cytosol of
Circulate in blood 3-4 days before emigrating to platelet
tissues o Marginal band of microtubules
Motile phagocytic cells that are precursors of Depolymerise during platelet
macrophages aggregation
With large, eccentrically-placed nucleus; often Rich in actin and myosin
with a deep indentation giving it a horse-shoe involved in clot retraction
appearance Surface-connected Canalicular System
With numerous lysosomal granules and o Interconnected membrane channels in
cytoplasmic vacuoles continuity with external environment
May produce energy using aerobic or anaerobic o Alpha granules fuse with this for
means secretion of contents
Granules
o Contain myeloperoxidase, acid
phosphatase, elastase, cathepsin-G,
