Standing still
Plasma protein, helps transport fatty substances
Albumin
Plasma protein, antibodies
Globulin
Plasma protein. Blood clotting protein
Fibrinogen
Granulocyte, release histamine and heparin to damaged tissue
Basophil
Granulocytes, Destroy parasites and increase during allergic reaction
Eosinophils
Granulocytes, Important for phagocytosis
Neutrophils
Agranulocyte, important for phagocytosis
Monocytes
Agranulocyte, provide protection through immunity
Lymphocyte
Blood clotting
Hemostasis
Into small clusters when blood is damaged
Agglutinate
Formation of mesh-like clot
Thrombin then fibrinogen
Fibrinogen
Fiber producing
Fibrinolysis
Fiber destruction
Hemorrhage
Rapid flow of blood
Panycytopenia
Too few all cells
Erythropoiesis
Red cell producing
General term for disease affecting blood
Dyscrasia
Transfusion of only blood cells without plasma
Packed cells
Genetic disorder, blood fails to clot due to lack of one clotting factor
Hemophilia
Excessive levels of lipids in the blood stream; risk factor for atherosclerosis
Hyperlipidemia
Severe anemia in which red bone marrow stops making sufficient blood cells; may require bone marrow transplant
Aplastic anemia
Result from excessive loss of RBC’s
Hemolytic anemia
Destruction of RBC’s when patient receives mismatched blood transfusion
Hemolytic reaction
Results from insufficient amount of hemoglobin in RBCs; unable to transport sufficient oxygen
Hypochromic anemia
Condition of having too many RBCs; blood is too thick and flows sluggishly
Polycythemia
Cancer of white blood cell forming portion of red bone marrow; results in large number of abnormal and immature WBCs circulating in blood stream
Leukemia
Measures volume of RBCs
Hematocrit (HCT, Hct, crit)
Measures how long needed for blood to coagulate and form a clot
Prothrombin time (pro time, pt)
Determines the number of each type of wbc
White blood cell differential
Anticoagulant
Warfarin, Coumadin
Antihemorrhagic
Amicar, vitamin k
Thrombolytic
Activase, streptase
ESR
Erythrocytes sedimentation rate
