blood Flashcards
a special type of connective tissue where the major component is fluid in the form of blood plasma
blood
The
medium through which gases, nutrients and waste products of metabolism are transported inside the body.
blood
Mammalian blood is composed of
plasma, cells, platelets
the fluid component of blood
plasma
Volume of blood in large domestic animals is
8-11%
Volume of blood in lab animals
6-7%
. In domestic mammals, the blood
cells constitute between
32 and 45% blood volume
a low viscous aqueous solution of proteins which contains fibrins
plasma
s the liquid that remains after the blood has clotted
serum
plasma when fibrin is removed is called
serum
components of blood
fluid and intercellular substance
the
second major component of blood.
cells
The most numerous cells in the
circulating blood and appears as pink,
non-nucleated and biconcave disks
rbc or erythrocytes
They have no organelles; merely bags
of hemoglobin that imparts a red color to blood
rbc
lofe span of rbc
90-120 days
appearance of rbc in blood smeae
appears as round with a pale center and dark periphery; on lateral view,
appears like a double concave lens with rounded ends and a thin middle part. Maybe crenated and is like
a tiny ball with spikes; or angular due to pressure exerted by neighboring cells in freshly collected blood
rbc in llama
oval and nucleated
how is erythrocyte efficient transporters of gases
biconcave form gives 20%-30% greater surface area than the spherical form
canine rbc lifespan
120
feline rbc lifespan
73
equine rbc lifespan
145
bovine rbc lifespan
159
ovine rbc lifespan
110
caprine rbc lifespan
125
porcine rbc lifespan
67
how does rbc transport o2 and co2
through hemoglobin which combines with these gases
the residue which becomes iron when the erythrocyte is engulfed and hemoglobin is broken down will contain a pigment called
hemosiderin
in stagnant blood, rbc may be overlap in a ____
rouleaux formation
these blood cells are true cells with nuclei and organelles
leukocytes
why is white blood cells not blood cells at all
because they only function and mature after leaving the blood compartment for the connective tissue space
if leukocytes are not blood cells, what are they
connective tissue cells
what is the means of transport of leukocytes
blood
capable of recognizing specific sites in the walls of blood vessels,
leukocytes
the process of leukocytes squeezing thriugh the specific sites in the walls of blood vessels
diapedesis
in diapedesis, the leukocytes uses what form of motion
amoeboid
differentiate granulocytes from agranulocytes
granulocytes have lobulated or segmented nuclei and have inclusions in their cytoplasm while agranulocytes do not have
the most common form of leukocytes in primates, dogs, cats , and horses
neutrophils
other names of neutrophils
polys or PMN (polymorphonuclear leukocyte)
in blood smear, these cells are 9-14 microns, 3-5 lobes of nucleus
neutrophils
the color of specific cytiplasmic granules of neutrophils
light pink to purple
specific granules of neutrophils
lysosomes
nucleus in females show a drumstick appendage which is a female sex chromosome (BArr body)
neutrophils
they might be termed the shock troops of the body’s defense against disease
neutrophils
these cells die as they lyse the invaders and leaves a constiture pus remnants
neutrophils
they are much less common than neutrophils only about 0.5-3% of all wbc
eosinophils
has same diameter or slightly larger than neutrophils (10-14 microns) and its nucleus is bilobed
eosinophils
specific granules of eo
lysosom
these cells are eosinophilic which stains a broght orange-pink color
eosinophils
these cells are involved in allergic responses
eosinophils
eosinophils are exceptionally larger in what animal
horse
these part of leukocytes are slightly larger than neutrophil’s snd they stain pinkish red in Wright’s smears
eosinophils granules
this staining reaction is the most characteristic means of identifying eosinophils
when its granules stain pinkish red in wright’s smears
eosinophils have been proposed to engage in phagocytosis to
engulf and destroy antigen-antibody compexes produced in humorally based immune reactions
eosinophils chemotactically aggregates in large numbers to sites where antigen-antibody complexes are found like
the ct below a wheal, and the raisd bump where the insect bites
in an h&e stain, they can be mistaken as mast cells
eosinophils
rarest granulocyte
basophil
basophils are absent in waht animals
cat, rats, mice
they are as large as neutrophils and the specific granules are large, coarse and deep purple to reddish violet
basophils
the granules of basophils contains
histamine and heparin which is produced by basophils
its nucleu is s-shaped and the granules protrudes from the cell, stretch the plasma membrane and obscure the nucleus
basophils
