32
50-70%, fight bacterial infections, show up early
Neutrophils
33
2-4%,fight parasitic infections, phagocytize

36
2-8%, trigger scar tissue. Show up late in injury
Monocytes
37
20-30%, main line of defense
Lymphocytes
38
Defends against invading cells
T-cells
39
Produce and distribute antibodies
B-cells
40
Fight cancers and abnormal tissue

41
Characteristics of WBCs
Use ameboid movement Can leave the blood stream Are attracted to chemical stimuli Phagocytic- eat damaged cells/tissues p
42
Made in bone marrow
WBC production
43
Make all blood cells/platelets except lymphocytes/plasma
Myeloid stem cells
44
Make lymphocytes/plasma
Lymphoid stem cells
45
Flattened discs | Live 9-12 days
Platelets
46
Functions of platelets
Transport chemicals needed to clot Patch walls of damaged blood vessels Contraction of clot. Reduce size of opening in blood vessels
47
Process of making platelets in bone marrow
Thrombocytopoesis
48
Create platelets
Megakaryocytes
49
Process of stopping bleeding
Hemostasis
50
Vessels contract
Vascular phase
51
Platelets fill into damaged blood vessels and form a platelet plug
Platelet phase
52
Blood clot form when fibers are added to platelets and form a scab
