Question | Answer |
Lymphocyte | fight disease by producing antibodies, thereby destroying foreign celltwo types of lymphocytes are T cells and B cells, about 32 percent of leukocytes are lymphocytes |
Neutrophil | granules stain blue and red puple with neutral stain are important diease fighting cells. They are phagocytes they engulf and digest bacteria. They are the most numerous disease fighting "soldiers" about 60 percent of leukocytes are neutrophils |
Leukocytes | White Blood cells |
Thrombocytes | Platelets (clotting cells) are the third type of blood cells. These are actually tiny fragments of cells formed in the bone marrow and necessary for blood clotting |
Erythrocytes | Red Blood cells they are made in the bone marrow (soft tissue in the center of certain bones) They burn food and release energy(cataolism) no cucleus contain hemogobin |
Hemoglobin | an important protein in erythrocytes, arries the oxygen through the bloodstream |
Anemia | means no blood, redcution in the number of erythrocytes or in the amount of hemoglobin in the circulating blood |
Streptococci | a berry-shaped bacterim, grows in twisted chains as strepthroat |

Necrosis | is death of cells |
Morphology | is the study of shape and form of cells and organisms |
Arteriole | is a small artery |
Chromosomes | colofull bodies |
Hymogolbin | in the blood cell carry oxyen to the blood |
Nucleus | command center "brain" program control |
DNA | carries genetic code gene bundies specific dna packages, mate |
Genes | are carried by chromosomes regions define characteristics humans have 23 pairs chromosomes (46) sex cells ova and sper have 23 single chromosomes |
Mitosis | growth multiplication all cells except ova and sperm sex cells produces exact copy with 23 pairs of chromosomes growth repair healing |
Karyotype | analysis of chromosomes by arrangement |
Mitochondira | energy power house produces ATP cell's chemicla energy |
Glucose | |
Plasma | the liquid portion of unclotted blood |
components of blood | a sample of blood treated with an agent to prevent clotting, and spun in a centrifuge the red cells settle to the bottom the white cells settle on top of tehm forming the "buffy coat" the fraction occupied by the red cells is called the hematocrit 45% |
Serum | the liquid portion of clotted blood |
SST | serum separator tube |
invitro | outside the body |
invivo | inside the body, in life |
epithelial tissue | lines internal organs and covers the cotside of the body, protects, glands secretes excretes |
muscle | skeletal, smoth, cardiac, movement with bones |
connective | adipose, cartilage, bone and blood supports transport and storage |
nerve | conducts impulses communication |
