What is the average blood volume in animals
5.5 to 8%
What is the color of plasma
Colorless to yellow
What portion of blood is red in color depending on the degree of oxygen saturation
Hemoglobin
What is the proportion of cells to plasma and can range from 25-60% depending on species

Where is granulocytes produced in the body?
Bone marrow
What are the types of granulocytes
Neutrophils
Basophils
Eosinophils
What are the types of agranulocytes
Monocytes and lymphocytes
Where are monocytes produced
Bone marrow
Where are lymphocytes produced
Lymph tissues
- lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, etc.
Which leukocyte is in the blood for 6-20 hours and constantly leaving to go into tissues for about 2-3 days and DO NOT return to the blood
Granulocytes
What type of leukocytes is in the blood for less than 24 hours and stay in the tissues for months.
- could be in tissues for months and can become fixed macrophages in the liver, bone, spleen and lymph nodes
Monocytes
What type of leukocyte recirculates constantly from blood to tissues to lymph and back to the blood
Lymphocytes
What animal(s) have more lymphocytes than neutrophils
Pig
Sheep
Cow
Goats
What animal(s) have more neutrophils than lymphocytes
Horses
Dogs
Cats
what leukocytes arrive at the inflamed site - phagocytize and engulf the foreign substance?
neutrophils
Azurophilic granules, other granules that prove hydrogen peroxide, and lactoferrin are from what leukocyte
Neutrophils
what is lactoferrin
binds ferric iron to deprive phagocytized bacteria
- very mobile
- highly phagocytic
- number increase in acute infections
which leukocytes circulate and phagocytize bacteria, viruses, and antibody antogen complex
monocytes
Azurophilic granules are also known as ______
Lysosomes
When monocytes enter tissues and transform to macrophage what happens?
kills phagocytized microbes using acidic pH, enzymes and hydrogen peroxide
where are monocytes in the mononuclear phagocytic system
intravascular
where are macrophages in the mononuclear phagocytic system
extravascular
what are the mobile cells in the mononuclear phagocytic system
macrophages
what are fixed cells in the mononuclear phagocytic system
Kupffer cells (liver, spleen, and lymph node)
which Eosinophil granules contain to dampen and terminate inflammatory allergic reactions
histamines
Which leukocyte responds to parasites
Eosinophils
which leukocytes granules contain histamine, bradykinin, serotonin and lysosomal enzymes
Basophils
Basophils have receptors for what antibody
