QuestionAnswer
agglutination mismatching of blood groups, sometimes caused by tranfusion of wrong blood type
albumin proteins in the blood; plays a role in maintaining osmotic pressure and water balance between blood and tissues
lymphocytes involved in the production of antibodies and play a role in immune response; smallest of leukocytes
clot what is formed at the site of injury by fibrin to stop bleeding
complement a globulin; important in the immune response of the body
embolism an embolus becomes lodged and causes cut off of circulation
ABO blood group the grouping of blood types, according to major antigens A and B; there is no O antigen
embolus a dislodged bloodclot; is transported through the bloodstream
erythrocytes red blood cells; important in transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood
leukocytes white blood cells; two subcategories, agranular (nongranular) and granular
platelets thrombocytes; produced in red bone marrow from megakaryocytes; disk shaped fragments with a nucleus, range in size; prevent fluid loss resulting by clotting blood
granular leukocytes neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
agranular leukocytes monocytes and lymphocytes
plasma the fluid component of blood
globulins act as transports molecules for hormones, antibodies, complements
fibrinogen (soluble) plays a role in the clotting of blood; is converted into insoluble fibrin, forming long threads that act like a net at the site of injury, forming the clot
other solutes of blood ions, nutrients, waste products, gases, enzymes and hormones
hematopoiesis blood cell formation
red bone marrow (myeloid tissue) where blood cell formation occurs
stem cells (hematocytoblasts) undifferentiated mesenchymal cells; multi-use cells; formed in the red bone or myeloid tissue
hemoglobin red pigmentation of the blood
heme pigment containing four iron atoms, combining with oxygen, which gives it a lighter color; the more oxygen, the lighter color
globin protein of the blood, makes up hemoglobin
phagocytosis eating cells
lysozyme destroys certain bacterias
macrophages monocytes are the largest leukocyte, leave the blood and enter tissues and increase in size
eosinophils combat irritants ie. pollen and allergens, produce antihistamines; can also attack some worm parasites
basophils involved in allergic reactions, release heparin histamine and serotonin into tissues
neutrophils important for immune defense; respond to tissue destruction from bateria; phagocytise foreign substances and secrete lysozyme
monocyte important for immune surveillance; precurser to tissue macrophage
B lymphocyte antibody production; precurser to plasma cells
T lymphocyte cellular immune response
megakaryocytes produce the thrombocytes/platelets in red bone marrow
thromboplastin causes a series of reactions that produce prothrombin activators, requiring presence of calcium irons and proteins and phospholipids for repair of damaged tissue
prothrombin a plasma protein produced by the liver; second stage of blood clotting; becomes thrombin
thrombin what prothrombin becomes in second stage of blood clotting; catalyzes the reaction of fibrinogen into fibrin
syneresis clot retraction; the tightening of the fibrin clot so that injured flesh becomes smaller, cutting off the hemorrhage
fibrinolysis dissulution of the blood clot
plaque a cholesterol containing mass that clogs blood vessels
thrombosis clotting in an unbroken blood vessel
thrombus the clot in a blood vessel caused by thrombosis
infarction when tissue is killed due to embolism or thrombosis
RH blood group antigen D, causing negative or positive inherited traits in blood
erythroblastosis fetalis hemolytic disease of newborns; blood type didn't match mother's blood type causing brain damage and anemia, resulting in death

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
