Blood

Question 1

specialized connective tissue

Answer 1

Blood

Question 2

90% water, 1% ions/gases 9% proteins

Answer 2

Plasma

Question 3

well developed cytoskeleton bind to transmembrane protein
contains few cytoplasmic organelles
contains hemoglobin and O2/CO2
contain carbonic anhydrase;bicarbonate ions go to plasma to act as major pH buffer

Answer 3

Red Blood Cells

Question 4

travel within/but function outside of the circ system

migrate through blood vessel walls to reach CT’s in process called diapedesis

Answer 4

White Blood Cells

Question 5

prominent granules/secretory vesicles in cytoplasm

important in the initiation of the low specificity “innate” immune response

Answer 5

Granulocytes

Question 6

most abundant wbc
multi-lobed nucleus
secretory vesicles DO NOT stain well with Wright’s Stain

Answer 6

Neutrophils

Question 7

long lived

granules contain histamine and heparin; with mast cells responsible for boosting inflamm response

Answer 7

Basophilsl

Question 8

eosin stains basic proteins within the secretory vesicles/granules;short lived
compose 2% of wbc
important for decreasing/ending immune responses

Answer 8

Eosinophils

Question 9

cytoplasmic granules much less prevelent

Answer 9

Agranulocytes

Question 10

activated to become macrophages in CT

Answer 10

Monocytes

Question 11

important in highly specific “adaptive” immune response

Answer 11

Lymphocytes

Question 12

membrane-bound cell fragments released from megakaryocytes
critical for blood clotting
platelets plug fibrin and trapped RBC’s to form a clot
Thrombasthenics results in clotting defects

Answer 12

Platelets
