Act 14 - Blood Flashcards
It is a liquid connective tissue that consists of cells surrounded by a liquid extracellular matrix.
Blood
Two major components of whole blood
Blood Plasma
Formed Elements
Also called erythrocytes
Red blood cells (RBCs)
Also called leukocytes
White blood cells (WBCs)
Three principal
components of formed elements of the blood
Red blood cells (RBCs)
White blood cells (WBCs)
Platelets
These are fragments of cells that do not have a nucleus. They release chemicals that promote blood clotting when blood vessels are damaged.
Platelets
Protects the body from invading pathogens and other foreign substances.
White blood cells (WBCs)
Help maintain osmotic pressure.
Albumins
Plays an essential role in blood clotting.
Fibrinogen
Cofactors for enzymatic reactions
Vitamins
Catalyze chemical reactions.
Enzymes
Fights against parasitic infection
Eosinophils
List 5 wbcs
Neutrophils
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Eosinophils
Basophils
True or False
Lymphocytes are small with an ovoid or kidney-shaped nucleus
True
True or Fales
Easinophils: Fights against parasitic infection; Basophils; Produces inflammatory and allergic reactions
False
Is any substance to which the immune system can respond.
Antigen
These are protein molecules found on the surface of red blood cells.
Antigen
Substances which are produced in the blood to destroy substances (detected in antigen) which can harm the body.
Antibody
Are protective proteins produced by your immune system.
Antibody
Rh factor is also known as
Rhesus factor
Multilobed nucleus that helps in phagocytosis
Neutrophils
Most abundant type of wbc
Neutrophils
What are the main two blood groups
ABO
Rh
What are the ABO blood type
A, B, AB, and O
It is an inherited protein that can be found on the surface of the red blood cell.
Rh
You have Rh protein if?
If your blood type is positive in Rh D
You do not have Rh protein if?
If your blood type is negative in Rh D
How can you determine if an individual is negative or positive of Rh-protein?
With the use of Anti-D test
Positive = with agglutination
Negative = without agglutination
What is Agglutination?
Formation of clumps of cells
Biconcave discs, without nuclei; live for about 120 days.
Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
It is the Universal blood donor.
O-
It is the Universal blood recipient.
AB+
