Mod E CHAPTER 4

QuestionAnswer
Name the three formed elements of blood erythrocytes leukocytes, thrombocytes
The function of erythrocytes transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
How many erythrocytes per cubic millimeter of blood? approx 5 million
Life span of an erythrocyte 80-120 days
The function of leukocytes Main defense against the invasion of pathogens
How many leukocytes per cubic millimeter of blood? approx 8000
Five types of leukocytes Neutrophilos, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes.
The function of thrombocytes They play important role in the clotting process by releasing thrombokinase.
How many thrombocytes per cubic millimeter of blood? Approx 200,000 to 500,000
Four blood types are A, B, AB, and O
Three main functions of the lymphatic system 1.Transports proteins and fluids lost by capillary seepage, back to the blood stream, 2. protects against pathogens by phagocytosis and immune response, 3. serves as the pathway for the absorption of fats from the small intestines into the blood stream
Three accessory organs of the lymphatic system Spleen, tonsils, thymus
Process of clumping together, as of blood cells that are incompatible agglutination
Individual hypersensitivity to a substance that is usually harmless allergy
A protein substance produced in the body in response to an invading foreign substance antibody
Pertaining to an agent that prevents or arrests hemorrhage antihemorrhagic
A base cell, leukocyte basocyte
Capable of forming a clot coagulable
Excess of creatine in the blood creatinemia
A cell that readily stains with the acid stain eosinophil
Pertaining to the destruction of red blood cells erythroclastic
A granular leukocyte granulocyte
One who specializes in the study of the blood hemotologist
Blood protein hemoglobin
Excessive amounts of sugar in the blood hyperglycemia
Excessive amounts of fat in the blood hyperlipidemia
A white blood cell leukocyte
The control or stopping the flow of lymph lymphostasis
Condition of excessive amounts of mononuclear leukocytes in the blood mononucleosis
A chemical substance that interacts with calcium salts to produce thrombin prothrombin
Surgical fixation of a movable spleen splenopexy
A clotting cell; a blood platelet thrombocyte
Formation of a blood clot thrombogenic
Inflammation of the thymus thymitis
A method of determining the concentration of protein-bound hormones in the blood plasma radioimmunoassay
A disease condition in which iron is not metabolized properly and accumulates in body tissues hemochromatosis
A blood protein capable of acting as an antibody immunoglobulin
A red blood cell erythrocyte
A hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells erythropoietin
Excessive bleeding hemorrhage
The process whereby fluids and/or medications escape into surrounding tissue extravasation
The process of reinfusing a patient's own blood autotransfusion
Surgical excision of a blood clot thromboectomy
A red blood cell containing a network of granules reticulocyte
A blood test to identify antigen-antibody reactions antinuclear antibodies (ANA)
This blood test includes a hematocrit, hemoglobin, red and white blood cell count complete blood count (CBC)
A blood test performed on whole blood to determine the percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume hematocrit (Hct)
A blood test to determine the number of leukocytes present white blood cell count (WBC)
A puncture of the ear lobe or forearm to determine the time required for blood to stop flowing bleeding time
An agent that works against the formation of blood clots anticoagulant
