17
Q
  • Allergy and antigen response
  • releases histamine causing vasodilation
  • bi/tri lobed
  • least common
A

Basophil

18
Q
  • deep staining
  • eccentric
  • operate primarily in the lymphatic system
A

Lymphocyte

19
Q
  • kidney shaped
  • immune response
  • several different types (T cells and B cells)
  • lead to production of antibodies
  • remove dead cell and debris
  • attack microorganisms
A

Monocyte

20
Q

fragments of cells, each consisting of a small amount of cytoplasm surrounded by a cell membrane

A

Platelet

21
Q

Composition of Blood

A

55% Plasma (protein, water, other solutes) , Buffy Coat (platelets and wbc), 45% RBC

22
Q
  • Transport of oxygen and carbon
    dioxide and function exclusively
    within the vascular system
  • Also called Red blood cells
A

Erythrocytes

23
Q
  • Constitute an important part of the defense and immune system of the body
  • Also called White blood cells
A

Leukocytes

24
Q
  • Plays a vital role in the control of
    bleeding (hemostasis) by aggregating
    in blood vessel wall areas with
    defects or damage.
  • Also called Platelets.
  • For blood clotting
A

Thrombocytes

25
Q

Hematopoiesis

A

Is the process of making RBC

26
Q

It pumps the oxygenated blood which
is why the apex of the heart must be
thicker than the base

A

Ventricle

27
Q

Collects the oxygen-poor blood
from the body and then drains
the blood into the right
ventricle.

A

Right Atrium

28
Q

Receives oxygenated blood from
the lungs and pumps it to the
left ventricle.

A

Left Atrium

29
Q
  • Dense connective tissue adjacent to
    the tunica media
  • (the tissue becomes loose connective
    tissue toward the outer portion of
    the blood vessel.)
A

Tunica Adventitia

30
Q
  • Simple squamous epithelial cells
    (squamous)
  • Basement membrane
  • Small amount of connective tissue
A

Tunica Intima

31
Q

Albumin

A
  • protein ; regulate water retention
  • major component of osmostic pressure
32
Q

Globulin

A
  • immunoglobulin ; immunity
  • anti bodies & transport protein
33
Q

Fibrinogens

A
  • blood clotting factors
