T-Lymphocytes

A

Fights against virus-infected and cancer cells

17

B-Lymphocytes

A

Anti-body producing cells

18
Q

Monocytes

A

Macrophages
Active phagocytic cells

19
Q

Platelets

A

Cytoplasmic fragments of megakaryocytes
Act in clotting process
Formation regulated by thrombopoietin

20
Q

Erythrocytes

A

Simple biconcave discs
Filled with hemoglobin for gas transport
Contains plasma membrane protein spectrin

21
Q

Gas Transport in RBC

A

Hemoglobin binds reversibly with oxygen (it can pick up and drop it off)

22
Q

Hemoglobin Structure

A

Consists of globin (two alpha and two beta polypeptide chains and four gene groups)

23
Q

Oxyhemoglobin

A

Oxygenated blood
Ruby red color

24
Q

Deoxyhemoglobin

A

Unoxygenated blood
Dark red color

25
Q

Carbaminohemoglobin

A

Carbon bonds to amino acid chain
20% of CO2 in blood binds to hemoglobin

26
Q

Erythrocyte structure and function

A

Biconcave shape
>97% hemoglobin
No mitochondria, ATP produced anaerobicly

27
Q

Hematopoiesis

A

Blood Cell Formation
In adults, axial skeleton, girdles and proximal epiphyses of humerus and femur

28
Q

Hemocytoblasts

A

Hematopoietic stem cells
Gives rise to all formed elementa
