Chapter 13 Blood
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| White blood cell with reddish granules; numbers increas in alergic reactions | Eosinophil |
| Protein threads that form the basis of a clot | Fibrin |
| Method of separating out plasma proteins by electrical charge | Electrophoresis |
| Foreign material that invades the body | Antigens |
| Pigment produced from hemoglobin when red blood cells are destroyed | Bilirubin |
| An undifferentiated blood cell is called a (an) | Hematopoietic stem cell |
| Anticoagulant found in the blood | Heparin |
| A disorder of red blood cell morphology is | Poikilocytosis |
| Deficiency in numbers of white blood cells | Neutropenia |
| Immature Red Blood Cell | Erythroblast |
| Derived from bone marrow | Myeloid |
| Breakdown of recipient's red blood cells when incompatible bloods are mixed | Hemolysis |
| Sideripenia occurs causing deficient production of hemoglobin | Iron- deficiency anemia |
| Reduction in red cells due to excessive cell destruction | Hemolytic anemia |
| Failure of blood cell production due to absence of formation of cells in the bone marrow | Aplastic anemia |
| Inherited defect in ability to produce hemoglobin | Thalassemia |
| Lack of mature red cells due to inaility to absorb vitamin B12 into the body | Pernicious anemia |
| Excessive deposits of iron throughout the body | Hemochromatosis |
| Symptoms of pallor, shortness of breath infection, bleeding gums, predominance of immature and abnormally functioning leukocytes, and low numbers of mature neutrophils in a young child may indicated a likely diagnosis of | Acute lymphocytic leukemia |
| Excessive bleeding caused by congenital lack of factor VIII or IX | Hemophilia |
| Venous blood is clotted in a test tube | Coagulation time |
| Sample of blood is spun in a test tube so that the red cells fall to the bottom and percentage of RBCs is taken | Hematocrit |
| Blood smear is examined to determine the shape or form of cells | Red blood cell morphology |
| Leukocytes are stained and counted under a microscope to see numbers of mature and immature forms | White blood cell differential |
| Venous blood is collected; anti- coagulant added and the distance cells fall in a period of time is determined | Erythrocyte sedimentation rate |
| Blood protein that maintains the proper proportion and concentration of water in blood | Albumin |
| Swelling; fluid leaks out into tissue spaces | Edema |
| IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE | Immunoglobulins |
| Symptoms of disease return | Relapse |
| Relieving symptoms, but not curing disease | Palliative |
| Deficiency of clotting cells | thrombocytopenia |
| Process of clotting | coagulation |
| Large cell that engulfs foreign material and worn out red cells | macrophage |
| White blood cell that destroys foreign material and worn out red cells | neutrophil |
| Blood protein | albumin |
| Produced in bone marrow | myelogenous |
| increase in red blood cells | polycythemia vera |
| Liquid portion of blood | plasma |
| Hormone secreted by the kidney to stimulate erythrocyte production in bone marrow | erythropoietion (EPO) |
| Proteins in plasma; can be separted into alpha,beta, and gamma types | globulins |
| plasma protein that maintains the proper amount of water in the blood | albumin |
| proteins made by lymphocytes in response to antigens in the blood | antibody |
