A

120 days on average

20
Q

What happens at the end of the life span for red blood cells?

A

21
Q

What is the process of rupturing red blood cells at the end of its life span?

A

Hemolysis

22
Q

What is the job of the spleen?

A

The red blood “graveyard”; where hemolysis takes place

23
Q

24
Q

What are the three main types of antigens?

A
  • A
  • B
  • Rehashes
25
Q

What are leukocytes?

A

How many white blood cells are found in one mL of blood?

A

5-9 thousand

27
Q

What are the two major types of leukocytes?

A
  • Granular (granules in the cytoplasm)

* Non-granular

28
Q

If a person has a AB blood type, what antigens do they have?

A

A, B, and Rheses

29
Q

Q

What is heparin

A

An anti-cologant

35
Q

If a person has a O- blood type, what antigens do they have?

A

A

Lymphocytes

37
Q

What are B lymphocytes?

A

Lymphocytes that produce antibodies, and attack bacteria

38
Q

What are T lymphocytes?

A

Lymphocytes that attacks viral infections, and cancer cells.(HIV targets these types of cells)

39
Q

What are monocytes?

A

A non-granular leukocyte that is large i. size, the protector cell in different tissue, has a indented nucleus, and stays in the blood

40

A

Thrombocytes

41
Q

What is a mega caraocyte?
