Blood Practical Flashcards
liquid connective tissue, maintaining homeostasis in a living organism
BLOOD
COLOR OF BLOOD
scarlet (oxygen-rich) dull red or purple (oxygen-poor)
(MALES) Volume of blood
5 TO 6 L
(FEMALE) Volume of blood
4 TO5 L
(NEWBORN) Volume of blood
240 TO 350mL
occurs in red bone marrow, blood cell formation
HEMATOPOIESIS
all blood cells are derived from a common stem cell
HEMOCYTOBLAST
produces lymphocytes
LYMPHOID STEM CELL
produced other formed elements
MYELOID STEM CELL
regulates the production of RBC
ERYTHROPOIETIN (EPO)
production of platelets
THROMBOPOIETIN (TPO)
production of granulocytes
GRANULOCYTE CSF
production of granulocyte and macrophage
GRANULOCYTE MACROPHAGE CSF (GM
glycoproteins, created by precursor cell
INTERLEUKINS
number increases rapidly during short-term or acute infections.
-most common type of WBC
-first line of defense
- both acidic and basic dyes
Neutrophils
kills parasitic worms, increase during allergy attacks
- RED ORANGE
- 2 LOBES
- STAIN BRIGHT RED WITH EOSIN, AN ACIDIC STAIN
Eosinophils
vasodilator chemical, discharged sites of inflammation - least common of WBC
Basophils
produce antibodies, fighting tumors and viruses -smallest WBC
Lymphocytes
clean up team, active phagocytes become macrophages -largest of WBC
Monocytes
carry oxygen, have 250 million hemoglobin molecules
ERYTHROCYTES (RBC)
iron containing protein, binds strongly but reversibly to oxygen, has 4 oxygen binding sites
HEMOGLOBIN
a major function of neutrophils is to respond rapidly to microbial invasion to kill invaders (phagocytosis)
WHITE BLOOD CELLS (WBC)
cytoplasmic fragments of megakaryocytes, important in hemostasis
PLATELETS
stoppage of bleeding
HEMOSTASIS
reduction of red cell mass, decreased concentration of hemoglobin
ANEMIA
Plate
Platelets Life span
7-11 days
