Chapter 17 A&P2 Flashcards
Important plasma protein
Albumin
Type of anemia due to bone marrow destruction
Aplastic
Least numerous leukocyte; associated with allergy
Basophil
Hormones that stimulate leukocyte production
Colony stimulating factors
Defense against parasitic worms; also turns off inflammation
Eosinophil
Come from a hemocytoblast
Erythrocyte
Hormone causing rbc production
Erythropoietin
Protein to which iron is bound while stored
Ferritin
Insoluble protein; end result of coagulation
Fibrin
Soluble precursor to fibrin
Fibrinogen
Percentage if erythrocytes
Hematocrit
Oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells
Hemoglobin
Type of anemia due to blood cell destruction
Hemolytic
Type of anemia due to blood loss
Hemorrhagic
Stopping of bleeding
Hemostasis
Stimulus for abc production
Hypoxia
Necessary for vitamin B-12 to be absorbed from intestinal tract
Intrinsic factor
Element attached to hemoglobin to which oxygen binds
Iron
Type of anemia characterized by small pale rbcs
Iron deficiency
Cancerous condition of a white blood cell
Leukemia
Abnormally low white blood cell count
Leukopenia
Most plasma proteins produced by the ____.
Liver
Carries out the immune response
Lymphocyte
Phagocytic cell; immature macrophage
Monocyte
Most numerous leukocyte
Neutrophil
Growth factor from platelets which stimulates rebuilding the vessel wall
PDGF
Type of anemia due to deficiency of fit B12 and/or intrinsic factor
Pernicious
Enzyme which degrades fibrin and destroys the clot after healing has taken place
Plasmin
Inactive precursor of plasmin
Plasminogen
Develop from megakaryocytes; associated with clotting and vessel repair
Platelets
Abnormal excess of red blood cells leading to increased blood viscosity
Polycythemia
Plasma from which clotting proteins have been removed
Serum
Type of anemia due to abnormal hemoglobin
Sickle cell
Type of anemia due to depressed synthesis of global chains
Thalassemia
Enzyme which catalyzes the formation of fibrin
Thrombin
Transport protein for iron (not hemoglobin)
Transferrin
