| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Two types of cells produced by leukopoiesis | Agranulocytes; Granulocytes |
| Two types of Agranulocytes | monocytes; lymphocytes |
| Three types of Granulocytes | Neutrophils; Basophils; Eosinophils |
| What are monocytes responsible for? | Ingest debris; clean cells |
| What are the three types of Lymphocytes? | B cells and T cells, Natural Killers |
| B cells are responsible for | humoral immunity |
| T cells are responsible for | cellular immunity |
| Most numerous Granulocytes: | Neutrophils |
| Least numerous Granulocytes: | Basophils |
| 2nd most numerous Granulocytes: | Eosinophils |
| Eosinophils are responsible for: | Neutralizing toxins |
| Basophils are responsible for: | histamins and heparin |
| Neutrophils are responsible for: | surround and destroy bacteria |
| Solid components of Blood: | RBC; WBC; platelets(thromocytes) |
| Fragments of cells; initiate blood clotting | platelets |
| soluable blood protein; aids in coagulation: | fibrinogen |
| initiate inflammatory process by increasing blood flow: | Histamines (from basophil) |
| defense against antigen | antibody |
| liquid portion of blood | plasma |
| substance that initiates clot formation: | thromboplastin |
| ingest dead cells | macrophages |
| harmful invader | antigen |
| Main responsibility of Heparin: | thining blood, preventing clotting |
| what are lymphocytes responsible for? | protect against infection |
| 3 types of plasma proteins: | albumins; globulins; fibrinogen |
| What are NK cells responsible for? | Destruction without specificity |
| AHF | Antihemophiliac factor VIII (coagulation factor) |
| AIDS | Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome |
| Reduction in the number of circulating RBCs | Anemia |
| Blood serum that contains antibodies | Antiserum |
| Failure of the body to accurately distinguish between what is "self" and what is "non-self" | Autoimmune Disease |
| A transfusion prepared from the recipient's own blood | Autologuous Transfusion |
| CBC | complete blood count |
| Diff | white cell differential |
| Abnormal accumulation of fluids in the intercellular spaces of the body | Edema |
| Leukocyte that protects the body by releasing toxins to destroy harmful invaders | Eosinophil |
| Hb | hemoglobin |
| Hct | hematocrit |
| A bruise | hematoma |
| Stem cell, from which other blood cells develop | hemocytoblast |
| a specialized plasma protein containing iron which gives blood its red colour and also carries o2 to body tissues | hemoglobin |
| a hereditary disorder in which there is an impairment of the blood clotting mechanism | hemophilia |
| abnormal increase of iron in the blood | hemosiderosis |
| a transfusion that is prepared from another individual's blood | homologuous transfusion |
| abnormal increase of WBC | leukocytosis |
| WBC in blood and lymphatic tissues; provides protection from bacteria | lymphocytes |
| cell with a large nucleus; fragments become platelets | megakaryocyte |
| embryonic WBC formed in bone marrow | myeloblast |
| PCV | Packed cell volume (hematocrit). Volume of red cells expressed as a fraction of all the blood |
| PT | prothrombin time |
| Immature RBC | reticulocyte |
| Platelet; initiates blood clotting | thrombocyte |
| AB | antibodies |
| ABO | blood groups |
| ALL | acute lymphcytic leukemia |
| AML | acute myelogenous leukemia |
| APTT | activated partial thromboplastin time |
| CLL | chronic lymphocytic leukemia |
| EBV | Epstein-Barr virus |
| ESR | erythrocyte sedimentation rate |
| HDN | hemolytic disease of the newborn |
| HIV | human immunodeficiency virus |
| Igs | immunoglobulins |
| ITP | idiopathic thrombocytopenia |
| Anemia associated w/ bone marrow failure; diminshed RBC, WBC & platelets; possibly fatal | aplastic anemia |
| Anemia associated w/ large and deformed RBC w/ diminished production rate and life span | folic acid deficiency anemia |
| Anemia associated w/ premature destruction of RBC, accompanied by jaundice | hemolytic anemia |
| Anemia associated w/ loss of blood volume, caused by acute blood loss | hemorrhagic anemia |
