| Question | Answer |
| Fibrin | insoluble threads of protein that form a meshwork at sites of injury that entrap blood cells and platelets forming blood clots |
| Anemia | a condition that results from too few erythrocytes or hemoglobin |
| Thrombopoietin | a hormone responsible for the initiation the formation of thrombocytes |
| Thrombocytes | cell fragments, as known as platelets, that close breaks in damaged blood vessels and initiate the formation of blood clots |
| Leukocytes | five types of cells, also known as white blood cells, that protect against disease Neutrophils,Eosinophils,Basophils,Monocytes,Lymphocytes |
| Hemostasis | the processes responsible for stopping blood loss when a blood vessel is damaged |
| Lipoprotein | proteins that combine with lipids to allow transport of lipids through the bloodstream |
| Thrombus | a blood clot that abnormally forms in a blood vessel |
| Colloid Osmotic Pressure | the pressure resulting from water moving toward an area of a higher concentration of a solute |
| Whole Blood | the combination of all fluid and components in the blood |
| Erythrocytes | biconcave disks, also known as red blood cells, used to transport gases |
| Antigens | a chemical compound attached to a cell surface which, if not recognized by the lymphatic system, elicits an immune response |
| Embolus | a dislodged blood clot that is moving through the blood vessels |
| Antibodies | soluble, globular proteins that directly attack antigens, activate complement, or stimulate changes that prevent the spread of pathogens |
| Erythropoietin | a hormone that is secreted by the kidney and liver to control rate of erythrocyte production |
| ABO Blood Groups | a system of grouping blood based on the presence or absence of two antigens |
| Fibrinogen | a large protein synthesized in the liver that functions in blood coagulation |
| Hemoglobin | oxygen carrying portion of the erythrocyte |
| Globulin | three types of proteins synthesized in the liver and lymphatic tissue and are important in the transport of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins and immunity |
| Coagulation | an effective hemostatic mechanism that causes blood clots through the use of clotting factors |
| Plasma | clear, straw-colored liquid portion of whole blood which contains a complex mixture of chemicals; Water,Amino acids, Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids,Vitamins,Hormones,Electrolytes,Cellular wastes |
| Albumin | small plasma proteins synthesized in the liver that are the primary components of osmotic pressure in the bloodstream |
| Hematocrit | the percentage of formed elements in a volume of whole bloodErythrocytes,Leukocytes,Platelets |
| Rh Blood Group | a system of grouping blood based on the presence of the Rh antigen |
