what cells live in blood?
erythrocytes
leukocytes
thrombocytes (platelets)
hematopoiesis =
process of cell production
what can blood stem cells become?
RBC
WBC
platelets
what is heme and what does it attract?
the iron portion of the blood
heme attracts oxygen

hormone made in kidneys that signals production of RBCs
immune and inflammation cells =
WBCs
what are the types of WBCs?

eosinophils
neutrophils
lymphocytes
monocytes
what cells eat invaders and cellular debris?
phagocytes
platelets are neccessary for what?
clotting
what are the proteins in plasma?
albumin
antibodies
what are the blood types?
A
B
AB
O
RH factor in blood?
- and +
what type of clot do platelets produce?
fibrin clot
what is serum?
watery fluid that separates from clotted blood
heparin and warfarin are what?
anticoagulants
chrom/o
color
coagul/o
coagulation
erythr/o
red
hemat/.o
blood
hematocrit =
% of RBCs in volume of blood
hemoglobin/o
hemoglobin
leuk/o
white

myel/o
bone marrow (or spinal cord)
myelogenous =
produced in bone marrow
phag/o
eat or swallow
sider/o
iron
thromb/o
clot
-pheresis
to separate
-emia
blood condition
-philia
attraction for
(increase in cell #)
anemia =
deficiency of hemoglobin or RBC
most common type of anemia?
iron deficiency anemia
hemolytic anemia
excessive RBC breakdown/destruction
sickle cell anemia & thalassemia
genetic defect of hemoglobin
aplastic anemia
inadequate formation of blood cells
may be a part of pancytopenia
pernicious anemia
deficiency of B12
insidious onset =
gradual
hemophilia
excessive bleeding due to genetic defect
purpura =
many pinpoint hemorrhages on surface of tissue
leukemia
cancer of WBCs, low or high WBC count
mononucleosis =
`disease caused by epstein-barr virus
multiple myeloma
bone marrow cancer
prothrombin time =
PT/INR
tests blood clotting ability
WBC differential
percentages of each WTB type
lymph =
water fluid outside of the cells and blood
function of the lymphstic system?
drain excessive interstitial fluid
immune defense
what do lyphocytes reside?
reside in lymph nodes
what are the spleen and thymus?
specialized lymph nodes
functions of the spleen:
recycle RBCs
filter blood
activates lymphocytes
stores blood
antigen =
foreign substance that provokes immune response
B lymphocytes =
produce antibodies
T lymphocytes =
programmed to kill or regulate immune response
antibodies =
immunoglobins
was to aquire immunity:
having infection
vaccination
immun/o
protection
lymph/o
lymph
lymphaden/o
lymph node (gland)
splen/o
spleen
thym/o
thymus gland
ana-
to build up
-phylaxis =
protection
AIDS=
aquired immunodeficiency syndrome
lymphoma =
cancer of the lymphatic tissue
types of lymphoma =
hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma
thymoma
cancer of the thymus
