Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
formed elements   erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets  
🗑
plasma   extracellular matrix, water, many proteins, ions, nutrients, wastes, hormones  
🗑
blood   specialized connective tissue with a pH of 7.35-7.45 (slightly basic)  
🗑
primary function of erythrocytes   transport oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
erythrocytes   cytoplasm full of hemoglobin; biconcave disks; no nucleus; survive 4 months  
🗑
hemoglobin   4 large globin proteins; each surrounding an ion-containing Heme group  
🗑
hemopoiesis   blood formation  
🗑
hemocytoblast   stem cell that all blood cells (RBC & WBC) develop from  
🗑
erythropoiesis   erythrocyte formation; occurs in bone marrow  
🗑
erythropoietin   regulates erythropoiesis; produced by kidneys  
🗑
antigens   specific glucoproteins that are responsible for blood types; immune system will fight and destroy if the wrong antigen (blood type) enters the body's blood system  
🗑
agglutinate   erythrocytes stick together as a reaction to an incompatible blood type enters system  
🗑
leukocytes   monocytes, lymphocytes; neutrophils; basophils; eosinophils; all formed in bone marrow; nucleus; use blood as highway to get somewhere else  
🗑
leukocyte function   engulfing invading organisms and debris; kill invading cells; produce antibodies; secrete chemicals which activate other immune cells; secrete chemicals that promote inflammation  
🗑
granular leukocytes   abundant, distinct granules; nucleus of each type also has a characteristic shape; neutrophils; basophils; eosinophils  
🗑
neutrophils   most abundant granular leukocytes in the blood; has up to 4 nucleus lobes; polymorphonuclear; stain weakly with both acidic and basic stains  
🗑
eosinophils   1-4% of leukocytes in the blood; nucleus is indented or bilobed; stain orange or red; will fight parasitic infection  
🗑
basophils   least common leukocytes; basic stain- hematoxylin, blue/purple stain; indented or bilobed nucleus; outside of circulation- mast cells  
🗑
agranular leukocytes   no granules in the cell; lymphocytes & monocytes; nucleus has characteristic shape and density  
🗑
monocytes   4-8% of leukocytes; nucleus indented, may be kidney shaped; stains blue; cytoplasm is abundant; outside of circulation- macrophages  
🗑
lymphocytes   20-40% of leukocytes; nucleus usually spherical, may be slightly indented; stains blue; varying amounts of cytoplasm  
🗑
diapedesis   how leukocytes leave and enter the blood vessels  
🗑
platelets   clotting blood when vessels are injured; fragments of larger cells, megakaryocytes  
🗑
hemostasis   blood flow through a damaged vessel must stop; blood vessel repair; vasopasm, platelet plug, fibrin blood clot  
🗑
vasopasm   narrowing of the vessel reduces the flow of blood near the injury  
🗑
platelet plug   platelets attach to each other and to the injured part of the blood vessel  
🗑
fibrin blood clot   involves a series of chemical reactions; positive feedback; fibrinogen reacts with thrombin to make fibrin  
🗑
fibrinolysis   process that dissolves and removes the blood clot  
🗑
plasmin   dissolves fibrin  
🗑


   

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.
