Agranular leukocytes

44
Q

Older neutrophils that have several differently shaped nuclear lobes

A

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes

45
Q

The granules of this granular leukocyte are smaller than its counterparts, evenly distributed, and pale lilac. Do not strongly attract either the acidic or basic stain

A

neutrophil

46
Q

The granules of this granular leukocyte usually do not cover or obscure the nucleus, which most often has two lobes connected by either a thin strand or a thick strand of nuclear material. Large and uniform-sized granules. Stain red-orange with acidic dyes

A

Eosinophil

47
Q

Round, variable-sized granules. The granules of this granular leukocyte commonly obscure the nucleus, which has two lobes. Stain blue-purple with basic dyes

A

Basophil

48
Q

The nucleus of this agranular leukocyte stains dark and is round or slightly indented. The cytoplasm stains sky blue and forms a rim around the nucleus

A

Lymphocyte

49
Q

The nucleus of this agranular leukocyte is usually kidney-shaped or horseshoe-shaped. Stains blue-gray and has a foamy appearance

A

Platelet adhesion

66

The phase of platelet plug formation is where the platelets become activated, and their characteristics change dramatically. They extend many projections that enable them to contact and interact with one another, and they begin to liberate the contents of their vesicles.

A

Platelet release reaction

67
Q

The release of ADP makes other platelets in the area sticky, and the stickiness of the newly recruited and activated platelets causes them to adhere to the originally activated platelets

Platelet plug

69
Q

Simply blood plasma minus the clotting proteins

Q

The process of gel formation is a series of chemical reactions that culminate in the formation of fibrin threads

A

Clotting/Coagulation

71
Q

Clotting in an undamaged blood vessel.

A

Thrombosis

72
Q

A complex mixture of lipoproteins and phospholipids released from the surfaces of damaged cells

Tissue factor

73
Q

Has fewer steps than the intrinsic pathway and occurs rapidly

Extrinsic pathway

74
Q

Its activators are either in direct contact with blood or contained within the blood

A

Intrinsic pathway

75
Q

The consolidation or tightening of the fibrin clot

A

Clot retraction

76
Q

This system dissolves small, inappropriate clots. Also dissolves clots at a site of damage once the damage is repaired

A

Fibrinolytic system

77
Q

The dissolution of a clot is called

A
