Blood-Lymph

QuestionAnswer
Erythrocytes - red blood cells, transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
Plasma - the fluid portion of blood, obtained by centrifuging a sample of whole blood
Leukocytes - white blood cells, fight infection
Thrombocytes - platelets, blood clotting
Granulocytes - A group of leukocytes containing granules in their cytoplasm; neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils.
Agranulocytes - A group of leukocytes without granules in their nuclei; lymphocytes, monocytes.
Hemoglobin - Oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells
Hemostasis - the stopping of a flow of blood.
vascular spasm - contraction of the smooth muscle in the wall of a damaged arteriole to prevent blood loss
platelet plug formation - platelets stick together to form a temporary seal to cover the break in the vessel wall
Coagulation - process of blood clotting
thrombus - stationary blood clot
embolus - moving blood clot
Type A - A antigen
Type B - B antigen
Type AB - A and B antigens
Type O - no antigens
Rh factor - presence or lack of antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which causes a reaction between Rh-positive blood and Rh-negative blood
Anemia - lack of a normal number of red blood cells
hemolytic disease of the newborn - This disease occurs in the fetus if the fetus is Rh+ while the mother is Rh-.
Hemophilia - An X-linked recessive disorder in which blood fails to clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding if injured.
Leukemia - cancer of white blood cells
mononucleosis - infectious disease marked by increased numbers of mononuclear leukocytes and enlarged cervical lymph nodes. aka kissing disease

Thymus - Gland in the thoracic cavity above the heart where T lymphocytes mature.
lymph nodes - small oval clumps of lymphatic tissue located at grouped intervals along lymphatic vessels
bone marrow - A soft tissue inside the bone that produces blood cells
lymph vessels - small tubes that carry lymph fluid throughout the body
3 ways lymph circulates - skeletal muscle contraction, respiration, and valves
location where lymph rejoins the blood - subclavian veins
Antigens - foreign substances that trigger the attack of antibodies in the immune response.
Antibodies - Protein that is produced by lymphocytes and that attaches to a specific antigen.
Helper T cells - Cells that release signalling molecules to stimulate the immune response
Cytotoxic T cells - track down and destroy pathogens
Suppressor T cells - stop response of T cells and B cells when the level of antigen has decreased
Memory T cells - Remember antigen and quickly stimulate immune response on reexposure
plasma cells - secrete large number of antibodies
memory cells - Help in the response of a second exposure to the same antigen
active immunity - occurs when the person has been exposed to an antigen and the body produces antibodies during the immune response
passive immunity - occurs when a person receives antibodies against a disease rather than their immune system producing them
natural immunity - immunity that begins at birth and is enhanced when they person is exposed to new antigens
artificial immunity - acquired through a medical procedure such as a vaccine
AIDS - A serious (often fatal) disease of the immune system transmitted through blood products especially by sexual contact or contaminated needles.
measles - highly contagious viral disease characterized by fever and rash covering the body
Mumps - viral infection of the salivary glands
