About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "WBCs / Leukocytes” by Dr Sunita Mittal.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about white blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. They are produced in the bone marrow and circulate throughout the body in the blood, defending against infections and foreign substances.

Five main types of white blood cells are Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils.

WBCs / Leukocytes By Dr Sunita Mittal
Slide 2-

Learning Objectives Introduction to WBCs Myelopoiesis & its steps Neutrophil characteristics Inflammation and signs of inflammation Role of Neutrophil in inflammation/infection Causes of Neutrophil number variation
Slide 3-

Introduction – WBCs / Leukocytes Human body is exposed to a number of, diseases causing microbes all the time and but body is equipped with the White blood cells to safeguards from these microbes. We can say that WBCs are mobile units of body’s protective mechanisms (IMMUNITY). Peripheral blood - WBC count= 4000-11000/mm3, Life span 4-8 hours in bloodstream Tissue life span estimated at 4-5 days.
Slide 4-

▪ Total Leukocytes Count (TLC) 4000–11,000/mm3 ▪ Differential Leukocytes Count (DLC) Absolute value % value Neutrophils 3000–6000 50–70 Eosinophils 150–300 1–4 Basophils o1–100 0.4 Lymphocytes 1500–4000 20–40 Monocytes 300–600 2–8 Normal range of WBCs / Leukocytes

Introduction – WBCs / Leukocytes WBCs - concerned with non specific immunity- Granulocytes and Monocytes. ▫ Neutrophils ▫ Eosinophils ▫ Basophils WBCs - concerned with specific immunity - Lymphocytes
Slide 6-

Myelopoiesis Myeloid Stem Cells HSC Lymphoid Stem Cells Myeloid Stem Cells → CFU-GM → Myeloblast → Promyelocyte ↓ Polymorphonuclear ← Band form ← Metamyelocyte ← Myelocyte
Slide 7-

Neutrophil ▪ Most Numerous of all leukocytes : 50 – 70% ▪ Diameter : 10 – 14 µ ▪ The Cytoplasm contains closely packed, fine and violet-pink granules ▪ The Nucleus can have 1 – 6 ▪ Function- Neutrophil can cause effective ‘Phagocytosis’ –to kill foreign particles and microbes. Form first line of defense.

Granules contents (biologically active substances) – Neutrophil
Slide 9-

Neutrophil - Role in Inflammation / Phagocytosis Neutrophil blood cells are very important in combating acute inflammation in body by the process of ‘leukocytes adhesion cascade’ reaction i.e.: Margination, Rolling, Adhesion, Diapedesis Chemotaxis and Phagocytosis
Slide 10-

The five cardinal signs of inflammation— Redness (rubor) Heat (calor) Swelling (tumor) Pain (dolor)—were described by Cornelius Celsus. A fifth consequence of inflammation is the loss of function of the inflamed area, Rudolf Virchow Inflammation and Signs of inflammation
Slide 11-

Neutrophil- Role in Inflammation / Phagocytosis Phagocytosis- Phagesis: to eat, Cytos: cells ‘Process of ingestion and destroying of foreign microbes/antigens’ Endocytosis-Taking in Microbes and cell debris ↓ Formation of Phagosome ↓ lysosome Phagolysosome
Slide 12-

Neutrophilia: Increase in neutrophil=>12000/mm3 Causes- Neutropenia: Decrease in neutrophils= <2000/mm3 Causes- Neutrophil- Causes of variation in Number
Slide 13-

Neutrophil- Leukemia Leukaemia, is a malignant neoplasm that involve HSC in the bone marrow and results in formation of high numbers of abnormal nonfunctional white blood cells (>1 Lac/mm3). These white blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells.
