| What are the causes and symptoms of Leukemia | It's a malignant disease of blood forming tissues, characterized by uncontrollable production and accomadation of immature leukocytes. |
| Platelet Plug | Can stop blood loss completely if a whole in the blood vessel is small enough |
| Role of Vascular Spasm | It will reduce blood loss until hemostatic mechanisms begin to operate |
| What is a hemmorhage | The loss of a large amount of blood from the vessels |
| Three methods of reduction of blood loss | Vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and blood clotting |
| What is hemostatis | It is a sequence of responses that stops bleeding when blood vessels are injured |
| The role of B cells, T cells, and Natural killer cells | B- Attack viruses T- Turn into plasma cells NK- are the mjor combatants in immune responses |
| Role of an eosinophil | Part of the granular leukocytes |
| The role of a monocyte | the larger type of WBC characterized by agranular cytoplasm |
| Role of a neutrophil | A type of WBC that normally arrives to the scene of an inflammatory response first |
| Relationship between erythocytes and erythopoeisis | Erythocytes are RBC's and erythopoeisis is the production of RBC's |
| Relationship between reticulocytes and RBC's | Reticulocytes are premature red blood cells |
| 5 Classes of WBC's | Eosiniphil neutrophil monocyte lymphocyte Basophils |
| 3 Classes of Formed Elements | RBC's, WBC's, and Platelets |
| Formed Element | The elements of RBC's |
| 6 Solutes commonly found in blood | Gases, nutrients, Regulatory substances, waste products, electrolytes,vitamins |
| What are the three main proteins found in blood | Albumins, Globulins, and Fibrinogen |

| Difference between Thrombus and embolus | Embolus forms in veins, thrombus does not |
| What makes one blood group different from the other | If they have antigens or not |
| How is type A blood different that type B blood | A has A antigens and B has B antigens |
| How is type AB different than both A and B | AB has antigens for both A and B whereas A and B seperatley do not have both |
| What does an anti A antibody do | Reacts with A antigens and helps WBC |
| What does anti b antibody do | Works with B antigens and help with RBC |
| Who has an anti A antibody | Blood type B people |
| Who has an anti B antibody | Blood type A people |
| What happens in an incompatible blood transfussion | Body attacks the new blood |
| Difference between RH+ and RH- blood | Positive has antigens and negative do not |
| What is anemia | Oxygen diffenciency in blood cells |
| What is the cause of iron deficiency anemia | Deficiency of iron |
| What is the cause of pernicious anemia | Insufficient hemopoiesis resulting from an inability of the stomach to do stuff |
| What is the cause of hemmhorage anemia | Due to an excessive loss of RBC's thru bleeding |
| What is the hemolatic anemia | Plasma membranes rupture prematurely |
| What is the cause of Thalassmia | Caused by an abnormality of hemolytic anemia |
| What is the cause of aplastic anemia | Results from destruction of the red bone marrow |
| What are the causes and symptoms of sickle cell anemia | Contains abnormal hemoglobin caused by lack of oxygen |
