High-Yield Explanation
Ans: B (Eosinophil) Ref: Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, 8th edition, Pg: & Ganong, Review of Medical Physiology, 21st edition.Explanation:Effects of Glucocorticoids on the Blood Cells & Lymphatic OrgansGlucocorticoids decrease the number of circulating eosinophils by increasing their sequestration in the spleen and lungs and also lower the number of basophils in the circulationGlucocorticoids increase the number of neutrophils, platelets, and red blood cellsGlucocorticoids decrease the circulating lymphocyte count and the size of the lymph nodes and thymus by inhibiting lymphocyte mitotic activity.The reduced secretion of the cytokine IL-2 leads to reduced proliferation of lymphocytes, and these cells undergo apoptosis.Steroids- Increases Neutrophils. RBCs & Platelets- Decreases Eosinophils, Lymphocytes and Basophils
