CH 13 BLOOD REVIEW Flashcards
mononuclear white blood cell formed in the lymph tissue; it is a phagocyte and the precursor of a macrophage
monocyte
thrombocyte or cell fragment that helps blood clot
platelet
cell in the bone marrow that gives rise to different types of blood cells
hematopoeitic stem cell
mononuclear leukocyte formed in lymph tissue; produces antobodies
lymphocyte
leukocyte with dense, reddish granules having an affinity for red acidic dye; associated with allergic reactions
eosinophil
red blood cell
erythrocyte
leukocyte (polymorphonuclear granulocyte) formed in the bone marrow; granules do not stain intensely and have a pale color
neutrophil
leukocyte (granulocyte) with dark staining blue granules; releases histamine and heparin
basophil
blood clotting
coagulation
white blood cell with numerous cytoplasmic granules- 3 types
granulocyte
pertaining to a leukocyte with a single nucleus
mononuclear
white blood cell with a multilobed nucleus
polymorphonuclear
plasma protein ex; alpha, beta, gamma
globulin
immature red blood cell
erythroblast
large platelet precursor found in bone marrow
megakaryocyte
monocyte that migrates from blood to tissue spaces, eats and destroys
macrophage
blood protein containing iron/carries oxygen in RBC
hemoglobin
liquid portion of blood
plasma
immature bone marrow cell that creates granulocytes
myeloblast
liquid portion of blood
plasma
orange yellow pigment produced from hemoglobin when red blood cells are destroyed
bilirubin
plasma protein converted to fibrin in clotting process
fibrinogen
proteins in plasma; separated into alpha, beta and gamma types
globulin
hormone secreted by the kidneys to stimulate bone marrow to produce red blood cells
erythropoietin
substance (usually foreign) that stimulates production of an antibody
antigen
protein in blood that maintains proper amount of water in blood
albumin
specific protein produced by lymphocytes in response to antigens in the blood
antibody
anticoagulent found in blood and tissue cells
heparin
plasma minus clotting proteins and cells
serum
change in structure and function of a cell as it matures
differentiation
protein that stimulates growth of developing blood cells
colony stimulating factor
four types of plasma proteins
albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, and prothrombin
an antigen normally found on red blood cells of Rh+ people
Rh factor
breakdown of red blood cells
hemolysis
method of separating serum proteins by electricity
electrophoresis
protein with antibody activity
immunoglobulin
change in structure and function as a cell matures, specialization
differentiation
removal by centrifuge of plasma from blood
plasmapherisis
why is type O blood a universal donor?
does not contain a or b antigens and will not create an immune response with antibodies of either blood type
anticoagulent substance found in liver cells, blood and tissue
heparin
protein thread that forms the basis of a blood clot
fibrin
plasma protein that is converted to thrombin in the clotting process
prothrombin
plasma minus clotting proteins and cells
serum
drug given to patients to prevent formation of clots
warfarin/coumadin
plasma protein that is converted to fibrin in the clotting process
fibrinogen
process of clotting
coagulation
enzyme that helps convert fibrinogen to fibrin
thrombin
a substance that prevents clotting
anticoagulent
disease of hemoglobin
hemoglobinopathy
