|---|---|
| the liquid portion of blood | plasma |
| 3 types of blood cells suspended in blood plasma | red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets (thrombocytes) |
| cell type which carries oxygen to tissues of the body and removes carbon dioxide | red blood cells |
| erythrocytes | red blood cells |
| leukocytes | white blood cells |
| cell type important in the body's defense mechanisms, especially phagocytosis and antibody formation | white blood cells |
| cell type involved in the process of clot formation | platelets |
| another name for platelets | thrombocytes |
| refers to a decrease in the number of red blood cells/hemoglobin | anemia |
| disease resulting in a diminished supply of oxygen to the tissues of the body | anemia |
| signs and symptoms of this disease include weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and light headedness | anemia |
| type of anemia characterized by decreased production of red blood cells | primary anemia |
| type of anemia characterized by increased loss or destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic) | secondary anemia |
| a type of anemia resulting from lack of Vitamin B12 (an intrinsic factor is lacking). Is this a primary or secondary anemia? | pernicious anemia, primary anemia |
| signs and symptoms of this type of anemia are a smooth, red, painful tongue, and damage to the nervous system | pernicious anemia |
| type of anemia characterized by a virtual stoppage of red blood cell production in the bone marrow, is this a primary or secondary anemia? | aplastic anemia, primary anemia |
| this type of anemia may result from radiation poisoning | aplastic anemia |
| type of anemia characterized by abnormal crescent-shaped red blood cells, primary or secondary anemia? | sickle-cell anemia, secondary anemia |
| type of anemia where there is a blood incompatibility between mother and fetus, primary or secondary anemia? | erythroblastosis fetalis, secondary anemia |
| refers to an increase in the number of circulating white blood cells | leukocytosis |
| a malignancy of the hemopoietic tissues in the body and is sometimes referred to as cancer of the blood | leukemia |
| decrease in white blood cells | leukopenia |
| increase in the number of blood cells in the body | polycthemia |
| increase in red blood cells | erythrocytosis |
| hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by a greatly prolonged clotting time for blood | hemophilia |
| decreased number of platelets (thrombocytes) in the blood, leads to a tendency to hemorrhage | thrombocytopenia |
| when Factor VIII is missing, it causes hemophilia ____ | A |
| when Factor IX is missing, it causes hemophilia ___ | B |
| hemophilia B is also known as | Christmas disease |
| widespread, spontaneous hemorrhages into the skin and mucous membranes | purpura |
| bruse-like patches of hemorrhage under the skin | ecchymosis |
