Blood Cells

QuestionAnswer
What are the 3 types of Blood Cells? Thrombocytes, Erythrocytes, Leukocytes
What is the definition of Thrombocytes? Bone marrow cell fragments; non-nucleated
What are the functions of Thrombocytes? contain and release Serotonin and various clotting factors
What is the function of the Serotonin released from Thrombocytes? local Vasoconstrictor
What do Erythrocytes look like? Biconcave discs; non-nucleated
Where are Erythrocytes formed? Red Bone Marrow; stimulated by Erythropoietin from the Kidney
What is the function of Erythrocytes? carry Hemoglobin - molecule for O2 and CO2 transport
What are the types of Granular Leukocytes? Eosinophils, Basophils, Neutrophils
Where are Granular Leukocytes formed? develope and reproduce in Red Bone Marrow
What is the function of Neutrophils, and what typr of Leukocyte are they? PHAGOCYTOSIS of Bacteria and foreign material
What is the function of Eosinophils, and what typr of Leukocyte are they? DESTROY Multi-cellular Parasites
What is the function of Basophils, and what typr of Leukocyte are they? involved in INFLAMMATORY reponses; release Histamine & Anticoagulants

What are the types of Lymphocytes? T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells
Where are Agranular Leukocytes formed? in Red Bone Marrow - some mature and proliferate in Lymphoid Tissues
What are the functions of T-cells? destroy Virus Infected Cells, Tumors, and Tissue Transplants bearing foreign Antigens - effective against INTRAcellular Microbes
What are the functions of B-cells when exposed to foreign Antigens, they develop into Plasma Cells --> Antibodies - effective against EXTRAcellular Microbes
What are the functions of NK-cells? bind to and Chemically destroy Virus-Infected Cells and Tumors
What do Monocytes develop into? Macrophages
What are the functions of Monocytes? PHAGOCYTIZE Bacteria and Cell Debris help initiate T-cell action
What part of blood is responsible O2/CO2 transport? RBC, Plasma
What part of blood is responsible for Nutrient, Waste, Lipid transport? Plasma

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
