        Help!  

Question
Answer
The formed elements of the blood consist of   Red, and white blood cells, and platelets  
🗑
Loose connective tissue and cartilage contain a network of insoluble fibers, whereas plasma, a fluid connective tissue, contains   Dissolved proteins  
🗑
Blood transports dissolved gases, bringing oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carrying   carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs  
🗑
The "patrol agents" in the blood that defend the body against toxins and pathogens are   white blood cells and antibodies  
🗑
The unique composition of whole blood consists of   plasma and formed elements  
🗑
In addition to water and proteins, plasma contains   albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen  
🗑
The three primary classes of plasma proteins are   albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen  
🗑
The primary function(s) of plasma is(are)   absorbing and releasing heat as needed by the body, transporting ions, transporting RBC's  
🗑
The plasma proteins that attack foreign proteins and pathogens are called   immunoglobulins  
🗑
The fluid left after the clotting proteins are removed from plasma is known as   serum  
🗑
Formed elements in the blood are produced by the process of   hemopoiesis  
🗑
The stem cells that produce all the blood cells are called   hemocytoblasts  
🗑
In adults, the only site of RBC and WBC production is the   Red bond marrow  
🗑
The primary function(s) of a mature red blood cell is(are)   transport of respiratory gases  
🗑
Circulating mature red bloods cells lack   mitochondria, ribosomes, and nuclei  
🗑
RBC production is regulated by the hormone   erythropoietin  
🗑
The average lifespan of a red blood cell is   120 days  
🗑
The function of hemoglobin is to   carry oxygen  
🗑
Aged and damaged erythrocytes are broken down by macrophages in the   Spleen, liver, and bone marrow  
🗑
The important effect(s) on RBCs' functions due to their unusual shape is(are)   it enables RBCs to form stacks, it gives each RBC a large surface-area-to-volume ration, and it enables RBCs to bend and flex when entering small capillaries  
🗑
Red blood cells are called   erythrocytes  
🗑
A person's blood type is determined by the   presence or absence of specific antigens on the cell membrane  
🗑
Individuals with type A blood have   B agglutinins in their plasma  
🗑
Agglutinogens are contained (on,in) the_____, while the agglutinins are found (on,in) the ____.   Cell membrane of RBC; plasma  
🗑
The blood of a person with type O blood   contains anti-A and anti-B agglutinins  
🗑
Rh-negative blood indicates the   absence of the Rh antigen  
🗑
A type O person can donate blood to a type A person because   A type O person does not have any antigens to be attacked by the type A blood  
🗑
When blood types are incompatible, the blood will   Clump and agglutinate  
🗑
The two types of agranular leukocytes found in the blood are   monocytes and lymphocytes  
🗑
Based on their standing characteristics, the types of granular leukocytes found in the blood are   neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils  
🗑
The number of eosinophils increase dramatically during   an allergic reaction or a parasitic infection  
🗑
The type of leukocyte responsible for the red, swollen condition in inflamed tissue is the   basophil  
🗑
The multilobed white blood cell that typically fights bacteria is the   neutrophil  
🗑
The leukocyte that fuses with another of its kind to create a giant phagocytic cell is the   monocyte  
🗑
The most numerous WBCs in a normal WBC differential are the   neutrophils  
🗑
WBCs that release histamine at the site of an injury are   basophils  
🗑
WBCs other than lymphocytes are regulated by hormones called   colony-stimulating factors(CFSs)  
🗑
In adults, the production of B&T lymphocytes is regulated primarily by exposure to antigens such as   Toxins, cells, and foreign proteins  
🗑
The WBCs that are important in producing antibodies are the   lymphocytes  
🗑
The normal number of WBCs in a healthy person is _____/mm^3   6000-9000  
🗑
Platelets are formed elements in human blood that visually appear as   cell fragments  
🗑
Platelets are responsible for   initiating the clotting process  
🗑
Platelet production is called   thrombocytopoiesis  
🗑
The average concentration of platelets in each microliter of circulating blood is   350,000/ul  
🗑
Basophils are specialized WBCs that   contain histamine that exaggerates the inflammatory response at the injury site  
🗑
Hemostasis is a process consisting of three overlapping phases. The correct order of the phases is   Vascular phase, Platelet phase, Coagulation phase  
🗑
The extrinsic pathway in blood clotting involves the release of   tissue factor by damaged endothelial cells  
🗑
The common pathway in blood clotting involves the following events, in correct sequential order   prothrombin-thrombin-fibrinogen-fibrin  
🗑
During the clotting process, platelets function in   transporting chemicals important for clotting, contraction after clot formation, initiating the clotting process  
🗑
A blood clot attached to blood vessel wall is called a(n)   thrombus  
🗑
The process of fibrinolysis   dissolves clots  
🗑
The vitamin needed for the formation of clotting factors is   Vitamin K  
🗑
A drifting blood clot is called a(n)   embolus  
🗑
A clotting protein found in the bloodstream and made liver is   fibrinogen  
🗑
Hemopoiesis   blood cell formation  
🗑
Hematocrit   packed cell volume  
🗑
increased hematocrit   dehydration  
🗑
decreased hematocrit   internal bleeding  
🗑
leukocytosis   excessive WBCs  
🗑
microphages   neutrophils, eosinophils  
🗑
antibodies   agglutinins  
🗑
stem cells   hemocytoblasts  
🗑
surface antigens   agglutinogens  
🗑
diapedesis   WBC migration  
🗑
List the five primary functions of the blood   transports dissolved gases, regulates interstitial fluid, restricts fluid losses, defends the body against toxins and pathogens, helps regulate body temp  
🗑
What are the three primary classes of plasma proteins   albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen  
🗑
List the three kinds of granular leukocytes   neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils  
🗑
List two kinds of agranular WBCs   monocytes and lymphocytes  
🗑
What are the three primary functions of platelets   transport of chemicals important to the clotting, formation of a plug in the walls of damaged blood vessels, and active contraction after clot formation  
🗑
List the events in the clotting response   Vascular phase, platelet phase, coagulation phase, clot retraction, and clot destruction  
🗑
What is an embolus   a drifting blood clot  
🗑
What is an thrombus   a blood clot that sticks to the wall of an intact blood vessel  
🗑
