A

Pale blue thin rim around nucleus

Spherical dark purple- blue nucleus.

28

AGRANULOCYTES/monocytes

A

Grey- blue kidney shaped

29
Q

PLATELETS

A

Cell fragments stain deep purple

30
Q

Neutraphis

A

Most numerous multilobed nucleus and very fine granules/ respond to acidic and basic stains.

31
Q

EOSINOPHILS

A

Blue-red nucleus that resembles old fashion telephone receiver.

32
Q

Basophils-

A

Rare- large histamine- containing granules that stain dark blue.

33
Q

Histamine

A

Inflammatory chemical that makes blood vessels leaky and attracts other WBC to the inflammatory site.

34
Q

Agranulocytes

A

Lack visable cytoplasm granules

35
Q

Lymphocytes

A

Large dark purple nucleus that occupies most of the cell volume.
Second most numerous Leukocytosis in the blood.

36
Q

Monocytes

38
Q

Platlets

A

Are needed for the clotting process that occurred in plasma when blood vessels are broken.

39
Q

Hematopoiesis

A

Occurs in red bone marrow or myeloid tissue.

40
Q

Hemocytoblast

A

Resides in bone marrow

41
Q

Two types of defendants

A

Lymphoid stem cell - which produces lymphocytes

Myeloid stem cell- produce all other classes

42
Q

Erthropoietin

A

Hormone from kidneys

43
Q

Homostasis

A

Vascular spasms
Platelet plug formation
Coagulation
Blood clotting

44
Q

Homeostasis/vascular spasms

A

Blood vessels to into spasms

Smooth muscle contracts causing vasoconstriction.

45
Q

Homeostasis/platelet plug

A

Injury to lining of vessel exposed collagen fibers,Platlets adhere.

46
Q

Platlets

A

Release chemicals that make nearby platelets sticky: Platlets plug forms.

47
Q

Coagulation/ homeostasis

A

Clotting factors present in plasma joining of fibrogen

51
Q

Thrombocytopenia

A

Insufficient number of circulating platelets.

52
Q

Hemophilia

A

Several different hereditary bleeding disorders that result from lack of any of the factors needed for clotting.

53
