what blood cells don’t have a nucleus?
RBC & platelets
what blood cells have a nucleus?
WBC
what are platelets?
cell fragments that help w/ clotting
what are antigens?
surface proteins on red blood cells that determine blood type
what are antibodies?
made by WBC to fight infection
what does agglutination mean?
clumping
what does the + or - mean in blood typing?
if you have the Rh antigen or not
what are the types of WBC?
neutrophils
leukocytes
monocytes
eosinophils
basophils
what are 2 types of WBC?
granulocytes & agranulocytes
what are granulocytes?
WBC w/ visible cytoplasmic granules
what are agranulocytes?
WBC that DO NOT have visible cytoplasmic granules
name the granulocytes
NEVER EAT BANANAS
neutrophils
eosinophils
basophils
name the agranulocytes
LOVE MONKEYS
lymphocytes
monocytes
granulocyte or agranulocyte?
describe the nucleus & function of the WBC
neutrophil
granulocyte
- 3-6 lobed (multilobed) nucleus
- very phagocytic
granulocyte or agranulocyte?
describe the nucleus & function of the WBC
lymphocytes
agranulocyte
- large, dark purple nucleus
- important for immunity
granulocyte or agranulocyte?
describe the nucleus & function of the WBC
monocytes
agranulocyte
- u or kidney shaped nucleus
- very phagocytic
granulocyte or agranulocyte?
describe the nucleus & function of the WBC
eosinophils
granulocyte
- bi-lobed nucleus (2) looks like bug eyes/spiderman/bra
- has red stained granules
- releases enzymes to eat parasite worms
granulocyte or agranulocyte?
describe the nucleus & function of the WBC
basophils
granulocytes
- clover like nucleus
- has granules w/ histamine
What is #1 and it’s function
Platelets
cell fragments of bigger megakaryocyte
And help stop blood loss
What is #2 and it’s function ?
Erythrocytes
Function is carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
What is #3 and it’s function
monocytes (u/kidney shaped)
A granulocyte
-acts against viruses, bacteria, & chronic infections
- help activate lymphocytes to create a immune response
What’s #4 nd it’s function
Neutrophil
- multilobed nucleus
- very phagocytic (kills pathogens by respiratory burst)
phagocytic = cell that kill microorganisms, ingest (jeff dahmer = fag = he eats people)
respiratory burst = releasing a lot of oxygen to kill pathogens
What’s number 5 nd it’s function
lymphocytes
- multilobed (3-6) nucleus
- super important for our immunity
What is #1?
Erythrocytes
What is #2?
Platelets
What is #3?
Monocyte
What is #4?
Lymphocyte
What is #5?
Neutrophil
What is #6?
Eosinophil
