Blood and Immune
| fluid obtained from the sample after it has been centrifuged with an anticoagulant | plasma |
| anticoagulant | EDTA |
| cells that have specific granules in their cytoplasm when the cells are mature | granulocytes |
| lymphocytes or monocytes | agranulocytic leukocyte |
| most primitive cell type | pluripotential stem cell |
| immature erythrocyte | NRBC (nucleated RBC) |
| cells that form thrombocytes | megakaryocyte |
| mature blood cell is described as a non-nucleated biconcave disc | erythrocytes |
| nutrient that erythrocytes utilize to stay alive in a blood collection tube filled with blood | glucose |
| organ in an animal's body that is the primary site of extravascular hemolysis | spleen |
| breakdown product of heme | Stercobilinogen |
| excessive amounts of unconjugated bilirubin | Jaundice (icterus) |
| determined with whole blood with an anticoagulant added | PCV |
| low hematocrit/PCV | anemia |
| increased neutrophil count | neutrophilia |
| process by which blood is prevented from leaking out of damaged blood vessels | hemostasis |
| neutrophil | PMN (polymorphonuclear leukocyte) |
| immature neutrophil with a horse-shaped nucleus | band cell |
| immature neutrophils observed in the peripheral blood | left shift |
| leukocyte with large red granules in its cytoplasm | eosinophil |
| process by which a neutrophil squeezes between the cells of the endothelium to leave a blood vessel and enter tissue | diapedesis |
| process by which neutrophils are attracted to the site of an infection | chemotaxis |
| process by which neutrophils engulf invading foreign microorganisms | phagocytosis |
| leukocyte is responsible for cell-mediated immunity | T lymphocytes |
| produces immunoglobulins | plasma cell |
| type of lymphocyte | Natural killer cells |
| lymph from the digestive tract | chyle |
| after a meal | postprandial |
| carries lymph into node | afferent lymph vessel |
| carries lymph out of a node | efferent lymph vessel |
| contains white pulp and red pulp, blood storage organ | spleen |
| organism capable of causing disease | pathogen |
| first line of defense | skin |
| macrophage in the lymph node | dendritic cell |
| macrophage in the liver | Kupffer cell |
| macrophage in the skin | Langerhans cell |
| redness, heat, swelling, pain, loss of function | cardinal signs of inflammation |
| process where complement system makes a microbe more visible to a phagocyte by coating the cell membrane | opsonization |
| programmed cell death | apoptosis |
| antibody | immunoglobulin |
| first antibody produced, evidence of acute infection | IgM |
| evidence of a chronic infection - animal exposed to a pathogen for a long time | IgG |
| mucosal immunity antibody | IgA |
| antibody created by allergies and helminth infections | IgE |
| provide immunity against intracellular pathogens; usually the lymphocytes found in | T cells |
