|---|---|
| albumin | plasma protein-maintains volume |
| antibody | substance produced by the body that destroys or inactivates a specific substance (antigen) that has entered the body |
| anticoagulant | substance preventing coagulation-antiprothrombin and antithromboplastin |
| antigen | substance that, when introduced into the body, causes formation of antibodies against it |
| basophil | white blood cell. Phagocytosis; releases heparin and histamine and promotes the inflammatory response |
| coagulation | process of blood clotting |
| diapedsis | passage of blood cells through unruptured vessel walls into tissues |
| eosinophiles | white blood cell. increases during parasitic worm infestations and allergic attacks |
| erythrocyte | red blood cell 4 - 5 million, with no nucleus |
| erythropoiesis | formation of RBC's |
| fibrin | insoluble protein which is converted into fibrin by the action of thrombin |
| hemoglobin | oxygen carrying pigment of the blood |
| hemolysis | the bursting of RBC's |
| heparin | anticoagulant- slows bleeding |
| leukocyte | white blood cell. 3,200 - 9,800 |
| lymphocyte | white blood cell. helps form antibodies at the site of inflammation; protects against cancer. |
| monocyte | white blood cell. phagocytosis |
| neutrophil | white blood cell. phagocytosis against bacteria. Contributes to pus |
| pathogenic | disease causing |
| phagocytosis | process that surrounds, engulfs, and digests harmful bacteria. |
| plasma | liquid portion of the blood |
| platelets | responsible for blood clotting 250,000 - 450,000 |
| prothrombin | a globulin that helps blood coagulate |
| Rh Factor | Antigen found in RBC's |
| serum | clear, pale yellow fluid that separates from a clot of blood plasma that contains no fibrinogen |
| thrombin | enzyme found i blood; produced from an inactive precursor, prothrombin. inducing clotting by converting fibrinogen to fibrin. |
| thrombocyte | platelet necessary for blood clotting |
| thromboplastin | substance secreted by platelets when tissue is injured; necessary for blood clotting |
| universal donor | type O blood; has no A or B antigens |
| universal recipient | individual that has AB blood |
| abscess | pus-filled cavity |
| edema | excessive fluid in tissue |
| erythroblastosis fetalis | hemolytic disease of a new born |
| pus | product of inflammation; dead tissue, dead and living bacteria, dead WBC's, and blood plasma |
| pyrexia | fever |
| RHO gam | specific preparation of immune globulin given. |
