Term | Definition |
---|---|
penia | down, low |
ilia | up, high |
osis | up, high |
Urinalysis (UA) | looks for presence of WBC's, bacteria, blood, pH, leukocyte esterase |
Cultures | blood, wounds, urine, throat, drainage, stool (things removed from the body) |
ESR | non-specific marker for inflammation |
Eosinophils (Agranule) | 1 - 4 % |
Eosinophils (Agranule) | -involved w/ allergic reactions -when allergic response rises, so does the number of eosinophils -do not respond to bacteria |
Basophils (Agranule) | 0.5 - 1 % |
Basophils (Agranule) | -involved w/ allergic reactions - do not respond to bacterial/viral infections |
Monocytes (Granule) | 2 - 8 % |
Monocytes (Granule) | -phagocytic -fight bacteria -produce rapidly -remove necrotic debris & microorganisms from the blood |
Lymphocytes (Granule) | 20 - 40 % |
Lymphocytes (Granule) | -fight bacteria and acute vial infections |
Neutrophils (Granule) | 55 - 70 % |
Neutrophils (Granule) | -kill bacteria -form in 7 - 14 days, only live for 6 hours -produced by acute infection or trauma -bands form (infection) |
WBC | 5,000 - 10,000 |
WBC | -measures the % of each type of leukocytes present |
RBC | Red Blood Cells Male: 4.7 - 6.1 Female: 4.2 - 5.4 |
Hematocrit | Hct - volume of red blood cells : total blood volume Male: 42 - 52% Female: 37 - 47% |

Sustained fever | constant; starts normal and rises and stays at constant temp. |
Intermittent fever | fever that rises and then returns to normal within 24 hrs. |
Remittent fever | fever that rises and then lowers, but does not return to a normal temp. |
Relapsing fever | fever that rises and returns to normal, rises then falls, rises then falls |
Granulocyte | -WBC containing bacteria combating granules -(Lymphocytes & Monocytes) |
Agranulocyte | -WBC no granules -(Basophils & Eosinophils) |
Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas | Neutrophils Lymphocytes Monocytes Eosinophils Basophils |
The five Vital Signs | Temperature Pulse O2 Blood Pressure Pain |
