| white blood cells | protects body against pathogens & tumors |
| white blood cells | granulocytes & agranulocytes |
| granulocytes | lobed nuclei & granules within cytoplasm |
| neutrophils | phagocytic - defense against bacterial infections |
| eosinophils | control parasitic infections & allergic reactions, contributes to inflammatory response |
| basophils | plays a role in allergic reactions, produces heparin |
| heparin | natural blood thinner |
| *granulocytes | neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils |
| *agranulocytes | monocytes, lymphocytes |
| monocytes | large cells, kidney bean-shaped nuclei |
| monocytes | phagocytic macrophages |
| phagocytic macrophages | clearing up foreign & dead material in the tissues |
| monocytes | plays a role in the immune response |
| lymphocytes | cells with large nuclei |
| lymphocytes | produce antibodies & chemicals that control disease, allergic reactions, tumors |
| platelets | cell fragments, thrombocytes |
| platelets | smallest formed elements in blood |
| platelets | not cells, particles pinched off bits of cytoplasm formed from large cells called megakaryocytes |
| platelets | plays major role in prevention of blood loss via clot formation |
| hemostasis | blood loss |
| hemopoiesis (hematopoiesis) | process of blood cell formation |
| blood clot formation | (blank) |
| blood cells | formed from pluripotent stem cells |
| pluripotent stem cells | found within bone marrow and lymphatic tissue |
| myeloid stem cells | develope within "red" bone marrow |
| myeloid stem cells | give rise to platelets, RBCs, WBCs (not lymphocytes & monocytes) |
| lymphoid stem cells | found within lymph nodes, thymus, spleen bone marrow |
| lymphoid stem cells | form lymphocytes & monocytes |
| anemia | RBC disorder, "decrease" in number of RBC, hemoglobin content, amt of iron in blood |
| hematocrit | measuring the percent volume that the blood cell sediment occupies |
| *anemia symptoms | skin & mucosal pallor, dyspnea, heart palpitations, soft systolic murmurs, lethargy, fatiguability |
| hemolytic anemias | inherited disorders, formation of abnormal hemoglobin molecule that results in deformation & increased fragility of RBCs |
| spherocytosis | instead of biconcave, RBC are rounded, rupture easily, causes "chronic" anemia |
| sickle cell anemia | ingerited disease of hemoglobin formation, sickle-shaped RBCs, readily broken down, chronic anemia |
| hemolyzed | broken down |
| thalassemia | inherited disorder, abnormally shaped hemoglobin, found in mediterranean populations |
| iron deficiency anemia | low hemoglobin level due to iron deficiency |
| pernicious anemia | low RBC due to lack of vitamin B12 |
| aplastic anemia | low RBC caused by bone marrow destruction caused by chemotherapy, radiation, antibiotics, toxic chemicals |
| folate-deficiency anemia | low RBCs due to lack of folic acid (Vit B9) common among alcoholics & malnourished individuals |
| acute blood loss anemia | occurs after hemorrhages with trauma or surgery or any sudden blood loss |
| chronic blood loss anemia | results from frequent or long-term blood loss associated with cancer or slow bleeding ulcers |
| polycythemia | erythrocytosis |
| polycythemia | abnormal "increase" in number of RBCs |
| polycythemia | seen in individuals living in high altitudes, reduced oxygen perfusion, cardiac, respiratory conditions, smokers, patients taking diuretics |
| blood doping | diliberately inducing polycythemia |
| blood doping | athletes removes blood and stores then gets infused back prior to event |
| *leukopenia | having too "few" WBCs |
| leukopenia | following radiation treatment & chemotherapy |
