| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| whole blood about | 55% liquid (plasma) & 45% solid (formed element) |
| three types of blood cell | red blood cells (REB-erythrocytes), white blood cells (WBC-leukocytes) & platelets (thrombocytes) |
| plasma carries the | blood cells, fats, proteins, gases, salts, & hormones to various destination throughout the body & pick up waste materials from organ cells |
| fats | triglyceride, phospholipid, & cholesteral are transported to tissues by attaching to proteins |
| proteins | albumin, globulin, & fibrinogen |
| fibrinogen | blood-clotting agent |
| serum | is plasma w/fibrinogen & other clotting factors removed |
| hemocytoblasts (stem cells) develop | into blood cells by hematopoiesis(specialized blood cells) |
| specific processes are | erythropoiesis, leukopoiesis, & thrombopoiesis |
| RBCs-biconcave shape (erythrocytes) contain | hemoglobin which transports oxygen & carbon dioxide |
| reticulocytes develop | into RBCs |
| RBCs live | about 120 days, then rupture |
| WBCs (leukocytes) - pg273 | fight infection (have ability to migrate from the bloodstream into tissues to the site of infection) |
| platelets (thrombocytes) | release prothrombin & fibrinogen for blood clotting |
| type A blood has | only type A antigens |
| type B blood has | only type B antigens |
| type AB | has both AB |
| type O | has neither AB but can donate to all other |
| agglutination | antigen-antibody reaction may cause a clumping of red blood cells |
| most ppl are Rh positive | mean have Rh antigen |
| anis/o | unequal |
| bilirubin/o | bilirubin (a bile pigment) |
| cholesterol/o | cholesterol |
| granul/o | granules |
| lipid/o | fat |
| norm/o | normal |
| poikil/o | variation; irregular |
| -edema | accumulation of fluid |
| chrom/o | color |
| hyperchromia | excessively pigmented red blood cells |
| hypochromia | underpigmented red blood cells |
| -ia | condition; state of |
| normochromia | normally pigmented red blood cells |
| erythr/o | red |
| -cyte | cell |
| erythrocyte | red blood cell |
| hemat/o; hem/o | blood |
| -lysis | breakdown separation; destruction |
| hemolysis | breakdown of blood |
| hematologist | specialist in the study of blood & blood disorders |
| hematology | study of blood and blood disorders |
| leuk/o | white |
| leukocyte | white blood cell |
| myel/o | bone marrow |
| -genous | produced by |
| myelogenous | produced by the bone marrow |
| -oid | resembling |
| myeloid | resembling bone marrow |
| reticul/o | network |
| thromb/o | clot |
| thrombocyte | clotting cell; platelet |
| thrombolysis | breakdown of a clot that has formed in the blood |
| -osis | abnormal condition |
| thrombosis | blood clot; abnormal condition of clot formation |
| -blast | immature; growing thing |
| hemocytoblast | immature blood cell |
| lymph/o | lymph |
| lymphoblast | immature lymphocyte |
| monoblast | immature monocyte |
| -crit | separate |
| hematocrit | laboratory test that determines the % of erythrocytes in blood sample |
| -cytosis | increase in the number of cells |
| anisocytosis | increased variation in the size of cells, particularly red blood cells |
| leukocytosis | marked increased in the number of white blood cells |
| poikil/o | variation; irregular |
| poikilocytosis | increased variation in the shape of cells, particularly red blood cells |
| -emia | blood condtion |
| an- | no; not; lack of |
| anemia | lack of red blood cells or hemoglobin content in the blood |
| erythremia | abnormal increased in the number of red blood cells (is chronic, life threatening...polycythemia vera) |
| hyperbilirubinemia | excessive amt of bilirubin in the blood |
| hypercholesterolemia | excessive amt of cholesterol in the blood |
| hyperlipidemia | excessive amt of fats in the blood |
| leukemia | malignant increased in the number of white blood cells in the blood |
| -penia | deficient; decreased |
| erythrocytopenia | decreased in the number of red blood cells |
| leukocytopenia | decreased in the number of white blood cells |
| pan- | all |
| pancytopenia | decreased in the number of all blood cells |
| thrombocytopenia | decreased in the number of clotting cells |
| -phoresis | transmission; carry |
| electrophoresis | laboratory test in which substances in a mixture usually proteins, are separted by an electrical current |
| -poiesis | production; manufacture; formation |
| erythropoiesis | production of red blood cells |
| hematopoiesis | production of blood cells |
| -poietin | hormones regulating the production of blood cells |
| erythropoietin | hormone in the kidney that stimulates the production of red blood cells |
| -stasis | stopping; controlling |
| hemostasis | stoppage of blood |
