Blood Cells & Coagulation Part 2- 1 Flashcards
Which blood cell has the following:
Big nucleus and many organelles
No hemoglobin
Immune response function
Perform their function in the site of inflammation/infection
White blood cells
What is a kind of ECF that accumulates in the tissue?
Lymph
What is recovered by lymph vessels and is conducted into the thoracic duct and finally into blood?
Lymph
What has the following functions:
Transport of fluid, proteins, and fat
Big lymph vessels surrounded by smooth muscle cells
Endothelial valves enable conduction of lymph in ONE direction
Transport of pathogens and antigens from tissues into lymphatic tissues
Lymphatic system
What results if the lymphatic fails?
Edema
What has the soluble components:
Interferon, peptides, complement
Innate immunity
What has the cell-mediated:
Macrophages, granulocytes, dendritic cells
Innate immunity
What has the soluble components:
Ig
Adaptive immunity
What has the cell mediated:
T lymphocytes
Adaptive immunity
What white blood cells link the innate and adaptive immunity?
Leukocytes
What has the primary function of defense and phagocytosis of pathogens?
Leukocytes
What do leukocytes have in their plasma membranes to recognize pathogens and other foreign particles?
Receptors
What includes all mechanisms that minimize, or prevent, blood loss?
Hemostasis
What do the following prevent:
Contraction of injured blood vessels
Formatting of platelet plug
Clot formation
Blood loss
What mechanisms after vessel injury consist of the following:
Constriction of injured blood vessel
Formation of platelet plug
Coagulation of blood
Hemostatic mechanisms
