Blood Flashcards
Cells of blood
Ertyhrocytes, Leukocytes, Platelets, hemoconia, Chylomicrons
Difference between plasma and serum
plasma clots, serum lacks firbringoen
diameter of RBC
7.7 micron
3 cytoskeleton elements of RBC
spectrin, ankyrin, actin
stack of red blood cells
rouleaux
diameter platelet
1/2 RBC - 2-4 microns
Granulocytic leukocytes
neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils
Agranulocytic leukocytes
lymphocytes, monocytes
all leukocytes contain these granules of lyzomes
azurophilic
multi lobe leukocyte
neutrophil
first line of cellular defense
neutrophil
bi-lobed nucleus
eosinophils
eosinohils use arginine to combat these
parasites/protazoas
eosinophil locations
ct of digestive and resp. tract
known for parasitic destruction these cells also migrate to sites of allergic reactions
eosinophils
basophilic granules contain contain these important cells
histamine, heparin, peroxidase, chemotactic factors
basophils increase in these situations
leukemiz, chickenpox, sinus inflammation
basophil have Fc fragment for this Ig
IgE
3 classes of lymphocytes
B, T and Null (NK)
B-lymphocytes fate (2)
plasma and memory
