QuestionAnswer
Two types of cells produced by leukopoiesis Agranulocytes; Granulocytes
Two types of Agranulocytes monocytes; lymphocytes
Three types of Granulocytes Neutrophils; Basophils; Eosinophils
What are monocytes responsible for? Ingest debris; clean cells
What are the three types of Lymphocytes? B cells and T cells, Natural Killers
B cells are responsible for humoral immunity
T cells are responsible for cellular immunity
Most numerous Granulocytes: Neutrophils
Least numerous Granulocytes: Basophils
2nd most numerous Granulocytes: Eosinophils
Eosinophils are responsible for: Neutralizing toxins
Basophils are responsible for: histamins and heparin
Neutrophils are responsible for: surround and destroy bacteria
Solid components of Blood: RBC; WBC; platelets(thromocytes)
Fragments of cells; initiate blood clotting platelets
soluable blood protein; aids in coagulation: fibrinogen
initiate inflammatory process by increasing blood flow: Histamines (from basophil)
defense against antigen antibody
liquid portion of blood plasma
substance that initiates clot formation: thromboplastin
ingest dead cells macrophages
harmful invader antigen
Main responsibility of Heparin: thining blood, preventing clotting
what are lymphocytes responsible for? protect against infection
3 types of plasma proteins: albumins; globulins; fibrinogen
What are NK cells responsible for? Destruction without specificity
AHF Antihemophiliac factor VIII (coagulation factor)
AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Reduction in the number of circulating RBCs Anemia
Blood serum that contains antibodies Antiserum
Failure of the body to accurately distinguish between what is "self" and what is "non-self" Autoimmune Disease

Hb hemoglobin
Hct hematocrit
A bruise hematoma
Stem cell, from which other blood cells develop hemocytoblast
a specialized plasma protein containing iron which gives blood its red colour and also carries o2 to body tissues hemoglobin
a hereditary disorder in which there is an impairment of the blood clotting mechanism hemophilia
abnormal increase of iron in the blood hemosiderosis
a transfusion that is prepared from another individual's blood homologuous transfusion
abnormal increase of WBC leukocytosis
WBC in blood and lymphatic tissues; provides protection from bacteria lymphocytes
cell with a large nucleus; fragments become platelets megakaryocyte
embryonic WBC formed in bone marrow myeloblast
PCV Packed cell volume (hematocrit). Volume of red cells expressed as a fraction of all the blood
PT prothrombin time

AML acute myelogenous leukemia
APTT activated partial thromboplastin time
CLL chronic lymphocytic leukemia
EBV Epstein-Barr virus
ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate
HDN hemolytic disease of the newborn
HIV human immunodeficiency virus
Igs immunoglobulins
ITP idiopathic thrombocytopenia
Anemia associated w/ bone marrow failure; diminshed RBC, WBC & platelets; possibly fatal aplastic anemia
Anemia associated w/ large and deformed RBC w/ diminished production rate and life span folic acid deficiency anemia
Anemia associated w/ premature destruction of RBC, accompanied by jaundice hemolytic anemia
Anemia associated w/ loss of blood volume, caused by acute blood loss hemorrhagic anemia
