Exam 2 Flashcards
Clumping of particles in a blood sample
Agglutination
Red blood cells, carry oxygen around the body on hemoglobin
Erythrocyte
White blood cells, play a role in the immune system
Leukocyte
Cells containing cytoplasmic granules that are visible when strained
Granulocyte
Make up 60-70% of total leukocytes in the blood, active in ingesting and destroying bactera
Neutrophil
Play a role in the immune response to infection with parasitic worms and the allergic response
Eosinophil
Primariy involved in the allergic response have bilobed nuclei
Basophil
Exit the blood to mature into macrophages; largest number of the leukocytes
Monocyte
Small cellular fragments, lack most organelles, involved in blood clotting
Platelets
Specific glycoproteins present in the blood
Antigen
Proteins produced by B lymphocytes
Antibody
Someone with O- blood, can donate to anyone
Universal donor
Someone with AB+ blood, can receive any blood type
Universal recepient
Spherical nuclei that is part of the immune response
Lymphocyte
The infusion of a recepient with a donor’s blood cells
Blood Transfusion
The agglutinated erythrocytes destroyed by the immune system; a type of transfusion reaction
Hemolysis
Immunity we’re born with; does not require exposure to a stimulus
Innate Immunity
Swollen and sensitive to pain
Inflammation
Raised body temperature
Fever
Immunity that develops after exposure to a foreign agent
Adaptive Immunity
A response brought by B lymphocytes and proteins they produce
Humoral immunity
Immunity mediated by cells
Cell-mediated immunity
When air is brought into the lungs
Inspiration
When is air is expelled from the lungs
Expiration
As the lungs volume increases, the pressure within the alveoli decreases
Intrapulmonary pressure
The pressure of the air outside the body
Atmospheric pressure
The amount of air exchanged with each normal breath
Tidal volume
The air that may be inspired after a total inspiration
Inspiratory reserve volume
The air that may be expired after a total expiration
Expiratory reserve volume
The sum of the tidal volume and the inspiratory reserve volume; amount of air a person maximally inspires after a tidal expiration
Inspiratory capacity
The amount of air normally left in the lungs after a tidal expiration
Functional residual capacity
The total amount of exchangeable air that moves in and out of the lungs
Vital Capacity
The total amount of exchangeable and nonexchangeable air in the lungs
Total lung capacity
