🗑
Average WBC   4,500-11,000 5-6 liters of blood Or 8-10 pints Average adult  
🗑

🗑
Agranulocyte   Cells without granules in the cytoplasm,  
🗑
Two categories of WBC   Agranulocyte Granulocyte  
🗑

🗑
Artery   Vessel that carries highly oxygenated blood away from the heart / Oxygenated from lungs  
🗑
Artery   Have a pulse No valve LV/HP system( because it is traveling from the heart)  
🗑
Largest artery   The aorta  
🗑
Arteries   Have thicker elastic walls then veins Makes are blood bright red  
🗑
Biconcave disk   Shape of RBC  
🗑
Blood   Life giving fluid of the body  
🗑
Capillaries   Some what preamble Tiny microscopic vessels / so small may only have one blood cell pass threw at a time Act as a bridge between venules and arterioles  
🗑
Capillaries   Carry combination of arterial blood and venous blood Carries oxygenated and deoxygenated blood  
🗑
WBC main function   Defense  
🗑
WBC disbursement   Function of the blood that distributes antibodies / defense Defends against pathogenic microbes and viruses  
🗑
Disbursement   Function of the blood that distributes waste products to be excreted (Kidneys)  
🗑
Disbursement to appropriate organs   Function of the blood that delivers hormones produced by the endocrine system  
🗑
Erythroblasts   Immature RBC containing a nucleus  
🗑
Erythrocytes   RBC Lives 120 days  
🗑
MEGAKARYOCYTES   An extremely large bone marrow cell  
🗑
Formed elements   RBC / WBC / platelets  
🗑
Function of the blood   Transportation Disbursement Regulation Hemostasis  
🗑
Granulocyte   Cells with granules in the cytoplasm  
🗑
Hemoglobin   On surface of RBC / binds to oxygen  
🗑
Hemoglobin   Protein and iron pigments makes blood red in color  
🗑
Hemoglobin   Makes up 1/3 of RBC And attracts oxygen  
🗑
Hemostasis   Function of blood that forms blood clots to prevent bleeding  
🗑
Hemostasis   Function of blood that restricts fluid when blood vessels are damaged  
🗑
Erythropoietin   A hormone synthesized in the kidneys and released into the bloodstream In response to anoxia ( lack of oxygen)  
🗑
Erythropoietin   The hormone acts to stimulate and regulate the production of erythrocytes And thus able to increase the oxygen - carrying capacity of the blood  
🗑
Leukocytes   WBC  
🗑
Liver   RBC are produced when fetus in- utero  
🗑
Agranulocytes   Monocytes/ lymphocytes  
🗑
Macrophage   Monocyte that has left circulatory system and entered tissue space  
🗑
Granulocyte   Neutrophil - phagocylize bacteria ( increases with infections) Eosinophil - consumes toxic substances in tissues ( destroys parasites) Basophil - secrete heparin and histamine ( assists with inflammation process) Increases with allergic reactions  
🗑
Bilirubin   The orange-yellow pigment of bile formed principally by the breakdown hemoglobin of hemoglobin in RBC after termination of their normal life span  
🗑
Reticulocyte   Immature RBC No nucleus  
🗑
Vein   Vessel that carries blood TOWARD The heart Veins have valves to prevent back flow  
🗑
Vein   Vessels that transport deoxygenated blood Vessels that branch off into smaller vessels known as venule And then into capillaries  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   Production of formed elements  
🗑
Regulation   Function of the blood that balances blood PH in all parts of the body Regulates electrolyte balance to maintain homeostasis And controls body temp by distributing heat ( kidney)  
🗑
Platelet   Thrombocyte Small disk- shaped fragment of a very large cell Called magakaryocyte  
🗑
Transportation   Function of blood that delivers oxygen from lungs to tissues and Carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs  
🗑
Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide   RBC  
🗑
Hemocytoblast   Undifferentiated ( unspecialized ) stem cell  
🗑
Main function of thrombocyte   Trigger clotting process  
🗑
Vein   LV/LP thinner walls then arteries Dark red Carry both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood  
🗑
Venules   Smaller vien  
🗑
Arterioles   Smaller arteries  
🗑
RBC   Born in the bone marrow / old RBC die in the spleen  
🗑
1st step of coagulation cascade   Platelets aggregate( plug) Thromboplastin released by platelet triggers clotting cascade  
🗑
2nd step of coagulation cascade   Thromboplastin released by thrombocytes triggers clotting process cascade Factors activate  
🗑
3rd step of coagulation cascade   Calcium binds  
🗑
4th step of coagulation cascade   Prothrombin converts to thrombin  
🗑
5th step of coagulation cascade   Fibrinogen converts to fibrin  
🗑
Serum   Liquid portion of blood left after coagulation- lack vital clotting factor ( tube)  
🗑
Serum   (No additive) Liquid portion of blood left after centrifuge in a tube  
🗑
Plasma   Liquid portion of blood left after blood has been allowed to separate in a tube (Tube with coagulant)  
🗑
Plasma   Liquid portion of blood -90% h20 10% dissolved solutes Straw in color contain vital clotting factors  
🗑
Fibrinogen   A plasma protein converted into fibrin by thrombin In the presence of calcium ions  
🗑
Agranulocyte   Monocytes / lymphocytes Have No granuals  
🗑
What is the difference between plasma & serum ?   Plasma contains prothrombin & fibrinogen Serum does not  
🗑
What is plasma comprised of ?   90%h2o & 10% solutes ( ex. Amino acids ,sodium,glucose,hormones, prothrombin , fibrinogen , NA, k , calcium)  
🗑
Importance of RBC shape ?   Biconcaved disk / elastic - stretches to carry hgb & o2  
🗑
What is serum ?   Plasma with out prothrombin &I fibrinogen  
🗑
Where are RBC destroyed   Spleen  
🗑
Medical term for platelet ?   Thrombocyte / MEGAKARYOCYTES  
🗑
Hoe does the lymph travel within the lymphatic system ?   Lymph travels threw lymph vessels to lymph nodes throughout the lymphatic system  
🗑
Process in which blood plasma leaves the circulatory system And enters the lymphatic system ?   It leaves the capillaries and flows into the tissues (interstitial fluid) then enters the lymph vessels  
🗑
What is the fuction of the lymph nodes ?   To filter the lymph fluid before it can be returned to the circulatory system  
🗑
How does the immune system work with the lymphatic system ?   The lymph nodes become swollen and WBC 'S fight for defense  
🗑
How does lymph return to the circulatory system ?   Lymph nodes filter lymph , it becomes interstitial fluid and gets Reabsorbed Into the circulatory system  
🗑
3 lines of defense ?   Anatomical ( skin,mucous membranes,intestinal tract, reap tract) Biochemical( tears , sweat ,saliva, urine mucus secretion) Mechanical(coughing , urination, sneezing,sloughing off skin cells)  
🗑
What is an antigen ?   A foreign body that when introduced to the body produces antibodies Ex. Toxins , bacteria , viruses  
🗑
Lymphedema   Swelling of the arms , legs caused by a lymphatic system blockage  
🗑
Lymph vessels   Similar to veins ( no pumps) Have valves to prevent back flow Absorb fluid and other substances and returns Them back to circulatory system  
🗑
Lymph capillaries   Become small lymph vessels Lymph vessels form two main ducts Right lymphatic duct > Throracic duct >. Goes back threw the subclavian vein  
🗑
Muscles movement   Moves Lymph fluid  
🗑
Lymph nodes   Small round oval structures located along lymph vessels Filter lymph to remove bacteria and malignant cells  
🗑
Immune system   Defense for the body 3 lines of defense Barrier(skin , mucus membranes ) Inflammation ( fluid / WBC to site to fight) Antibodies ( comes to fight)  
🗑
Organs of the immune system   Peyer's patches ( in interstitial lymph ) Lymph tissues protect the immune system Example -Bone marrow ( RBC - WBC ) Thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, adenoids, appendex  
🗑
Lymphocytes   Two types B- cell matured made and stored in bone marrow produces antibodies against antigens T- cell produced and nature in the thymus assists b-cell  
🗑
T-cells B-cells   That have been activated by an antigen continue to circulate within the body ready to re-attack if the antigen re-envades  
🗑
