whats the relationship between the terms erythrocyte and erthropoesis erythrocyte ejects its nucleus & erthropoesis is the formation of red blood cells
whats the relationship between reticulocytes and red blood cells reticulocytes are premature red blood cells
whats the role of a neutrophil they aid in the removal of noxious stimuli that cause cell death
whats the role of a monocyte they replenish macrophages and dendrites to a normal state
whats the role of an eosinophil they destroy foreign cells and destroy parasites
whats the role of basophil they kill bacteria and parasites but can react bad and cause asthma

whats hemostasis a sequence of responses that stops bleeding when blood vessels are injured
what are the 3 methods of reduction of blood loss vascular spasm, blood clotting, platelet plug formation
how does a vascular spasm aid in hemostasis the smooth muscle contracts and it reduces blood loss for several hours the refexes are initiated by its receptors as platelts accumulate at the damaged site they release chemicalsthat enhance vasoconstriction
how does a platelet plug aid in hemostasis they help fill in the gap in the injured blood vessel wall
how does clotting aid in hemostasis? various chemicals known as clotting factos and molecules associated with platlets or damaged tissues activate each other
whats the difference between a thrombus and embolus thrombus may dissolve instantly and embolus is a blood clot, a bubble of air
whats a pulmonary embolism and why is one dangerous an embolus in the lung would result in a hear attack or kidney failure

what are the causes and symptoms of hemophilia inherited deficiency of clotting where bleeding may occur after minor trauma like random nose bleeds
what are the causes and symptoms of leukemia uncontrolled production and accumulation of immature leukocytes which wont die
whats a reticylocyte counting the colume of reticulocytes in a sample of blood. measures the rate of erythropoesis
whats a hematocrit counting the % of a blood sample that is composed of rbcs diagnosis anemia
differential wbc count count various forms of wcs to assess for infections an manufacture of wbcs
complete blood count measures volume of all blood components, measures blood components that are out of range
