Q

Erythrocytes

A

Red Blood Cells

20
Q
  • Disk-shaped x biconcave (increases the cell’s
    surface area)
  • Anucleate (without nucleus & organelles)
  • Transports O2 form the lungs to the various
    tissues of the body
  • Helps transport CO2 from the tissues to the
    lungs
A

Red Blood Cells

21
Q

main component of RBCs; pigmented protein responsible for its red color

A

Hemoglobin

22
Q

accomplished by the hemoglobin

A

Oxygen transport

23
Q

Bright red hemoglobin

A

bound to O2

24
Q

Darker red hemoglobin

A

without bound to O2

25
Q

necessary for O2 transport

A

Iron

26
Q

an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction that converts CO2 and H2O into a
hydrogen ion and a bicarbonate ion

A

Carbonic anhydrase

27
Q

required for the production of hemoglobin

A

Iron

28
Q

stimulated by low blood O2 level

A

RBC production

29
Q

glycoprotein released by the kidneys; stimulates red bone marrow to produce more RBC

A

Erythropoietin

30
Q

yellow pigment molecule; brown color

A

Bilubrin

31
Q

yellowish color to the skin

A

Jaundice

32
Q

White Blood Cells

A

Leukocytes

33
Q
  • Spherical cells that lack hemoglobin
  • Thin, white later of cells + has a nucleus
  • Protects the body against invading
    microorganisms
  • Removes dead cells and debris form the tissues
    by phagocytes
A

White Blood Cells

34
Q

like an ameba; cell projects a cystoplasmic extension that attaches to
an object

A

Ameboid movement

35
Q

large cytoplasmic granules

A

Granulocytes

36
Q

Most common type of WBCs
* Stains with both acidic & basic dyes
* Commonly lobed (2 – 4)
* Phagocytize microorganism and
other foreign substances
* Pus – dead neutrophils, cell debris
and fluid that accumulates at sites
of infections

A

Neutrophil

37
Q

Least common of all WBCs
* Stain blue/purple with basic dyes
* Release histamine and other
chemicals that promote
inflammation
* Release heparin which prevents the
formation of clots

A

Basophil

38
Q

Stain bright red with an acidic stain
(eosin)
* Two lobed nucleus
* Involved in inflammatory responses
associated with allergies and asthma
* Involved in destroying certain
worm parasites

A

Eosinophil

39
Q

very small granules

A

Agranulocytes

40
Q

Smallest of the WBCs
* Play an important role in body’s
immune response
* Production of anti-bodies and other
chemicals that destroy
microorganisms

A

Lymphocyte

41
Q

Largest of the WBCs

A

Monocyte

42
Q

enlarged monocytes; phagocytize bacteria,
dead cells, cell fragments; can break
down phagocytized foreign
substances

A

Macrophages

43
Q

Platelets

A

Thrombocytes

44
Q

Platelets / Thrombocytes are produced in the red bone marrow from

A

megakaryocytes

45
Q

Play an important role in preventing blood loss

A

Platelets
