🗑
Buffy Coat   1% of less of blood volume.  
🗑
Hematocrit   The percentage of red blood cells in a sample of blood.  
🗑
Viscosity   The thickness of stickiness of blood.  
🗑
Hemopoiesis   The production of blood.  
🗑
Hemoglobin   A red pigment that gives blood its color.  
🗑
Globins   Ribbon like protein chains.  
🗑
Heme   Iron containing molecule.  
🗑

🗑
Sickle Cell Disease   When RBCs shape become distorted.  
🗑
Erythropoiesis   Process of producing new RBCs.  
🗑
Hemolysis   When the destruction of RBCs becomes excessive.  
🗑
Polycythemia   When the rate att which new RBCs are being created exceeds the rate at which the old ones are being destroyed.  
🗑
Anemia   A deficiency of RBCs or hemoglobin.  
🗑
Pernicious Anemia   Lack of vitamin B12.  
🗑
WBCs   Fewest of the formed elements.  
🗑
WBSs   Body's line of defense against invasion by infectious pathogens.  
🗑
Granulocytes   Those having obvious granules.  
🗑
Agranulocytes   Those having few or no granules.  
🗑
Neutrophils   Highly mobile, they quickly migrate out of blood vessels and into tissue spaces, where they engulf and digest foreign materials.  
🗑
Eosinophils   Involves in allergic reactions; they also kill parasites.  
🗑
Basophils   Secrete heparin, which prevents clotting in the infected are so WBCs can enter; they alson secrete histamine, a substance that causes blood vessels to leak, which attracts WBCs.  
🗑
Lymphocytes   Responsible for long term immunity.  
🗑
T Lymphocytes   Directly attack an infected or cancerous cell.  
🗑
B Lymphocutes   Produce antibodies against certain antigens.  
🗑
Monocytes   Highly phagocytic and can engulf large bacteria and the viral infected cells.  
🗑
Leukopenia   Abnormally low WBC count.  
🗑
Leukocytosis   Elevated WBC count.  
🗑
Platelets   Second most abundant of all the formed elements.  
🗑
Platelets   Play a role in stopping bleeding.  
🗑
Coagulation   Blood clotting  
🗑
Blood Type A   40% of America has this blood type  
🗑
Blood Type B   11% of America has this blood type.  
🗑
Blood Type AB   4% of America has this blood type.  
🗑
Blood Type O   45% of America has this blood type.  
🗑
Base   Where the great vessels enter and leave the heart.  
🗑
Apex   The point of maximum impulse, where the strongest beat can be felt or heard.  
🗑
Mediastinum   A space between the lungs and beneath the sternum.  
🗑
Pericardium   A double walled sac that surrounds the heart.  
🗑
Fibrous pericardium   A loose fitting sac of strong connective tissue-is the outermost layer.  
🗑
Serous Pericardium   Covers the heart's surface.  
🗑
Parietal Layer   Lines the inside of the fibrous pericardium  
🗑
Visceral Layer   Covers the heart's surface.  
🗑
Pericardial Cavity   Contains a small amount of serous fluid, which helps prevent friction as the heart beats.  
🗑
Endocardium   Lines the heart's chambers, covers the valves, and continues into the vessels.  
🗑
Myocardium   Composed of cardiac muscle, forms the middle layer. It's the thickest of the three layers and performs the work of the heart.  
🗑
Epicardium   Covers the heart's surface.  
🗑
Interatrial septum   Wall of myocardium that seperates the right and left atria.  
🗑
Interventricular Septum   Seperates the right and left ventricles.  
🗑
Atria   Upper 2 chambers.  
🗑
Ventricles   Lower 2 cambers.  
🗑
AV Valves   Regulate flow between the atria and the ventricles.  
🗑
Right AV Valve   (tricuspid) Prevents backflow from the right ventricle to the right atria.  
🗑
Left AV Valve   (bicuspid or mitral) Prevents backflow from the left ventricle to the left atria.  
🗑
Semilunar Valves   Regulate flow between the ventricles and the great arteries.  
🗑
Pulmonary Valve   Prevents backflow from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle  
🗑
Aortic Valve   Prevents backflow from the aorta to the left ventricle.  
🗑
Valvular Disease   A heart valve that fails to prevent the backflow of blood during contraction.  
🗑
Coronary Arteries   Deliver oxygenated blood to the myocardium, while cardiac veins collect deoxygenated blood.  
🗑
Right Coronary Artery   Supplies blood to the right atrium, part of the left atrium, most of the right ventricle, and the inferior part of the left ventricle.  
🗑
Left Coronary Artery   Branches into the anterior descending and circumflex arteries, supplies blood to the left atrium, most of the left ventricle, and most of the interventricular septum.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
