Blood

Transports everything that must be carried from one place to another in the body

Oxygen rich (color)

Oxygen poor (color)

pH level of Blood

Temperature of blood

Reddish pellet at the bottom of-the tube that function as a oxygen transport

Thin whittish layer between erythrocytes and plasma

Function to protect the body

Are cell fragments that help stop bleeding

“Blood fraction”- percentage of total volume of a blood sample

Hematocrit of RBC, WBC and platelets , and plasma

Liquid part of the blood

Most abundant solutes in plasma

Example of plasma protein that is a blood buffer

It is when blood starts to become too acidic

It is when blood starts to become too basic

Iron bearing protein

4 cells present in hemoglobin

Defend the body against damage by bacteria

WBC slip into and out of blood vessels

WBC locate area of infections in the body by responding certain chemicals

WBC form flowing cytoplasmic extensions that help move them along

Total WBC count above 11,000 cells/mm3

Abnormally low WBC count

Two classifications of leukocytes

Granule containing WBC

Examples of granulocytes

Most numerous WBC that has multilobe nucleus

Has a blue red nucleus that resembles earmuffs

Rarest WBC that contains histamine containing granules

Lack visible cytoplasmic granule when stained

Examples of agranulocytes

2nd most numerous leukocytes that produces antibodies

Largest WBC that has a U or kidney shaped nucleus

Blood cell formation

Common stem cell

2 types of descendants of Hemocytoblast

Unable to synthesize proteins, grow, divide

Rate of erythrocytes production is controlled by this hormone

Hormone that stimulates formation of leukocytes and platelets

Accelerates production of platelets

Process of stopping the bleeding

3 major phases of hemostasis

Substance that the body recognizes as foreign

“Recognizers” that attach to RBCs bearing surface antigens different from those on the recipients RBCs

Binding of the antibodies causing foreign RBCs to clump

Meshwork produced by platelets to trap RBC

Based on which of two antigens, type A or B, a person inherits

Antigen and blood received of Blood Group “AB”

Antigen, antibodies and blood received of Blood Group “A”

Antigen, antibodies and blood received of Blood Group “B”

Antigen, antibodies and blood received of Blood Group “O”

8 Rh antigens was identified in Rhesus monkeys

Rupture pf RBCs

Immune serum that prevents sensitization and subsequent immune response

Antibodies destroys the baby’s RBCs

How many hemoglobin molecules in one blood cell

How many oxygen molecules does the iron bind

Only complete cell in blood

A Granulocytes that reacts to bacteria and fungi during respiratory burst

They have a role in allergy attacks and parasitic worms

WBC lifespan

RBC lifespan

Platelet lifespan

Phase of hemostasis: Narrow blood vessels decreasing blood loss

Phase of hemostasis:platelets adhere to damage site

platelets sticks to damaged blood vessel

Platelet attracts other platelets

Rh positive can receive

Rh negative can receive
