-cyte
having a chemical affinity for a substance
-phil
cell in the shape of a biconcave disk due to a lack of a nucleus
Erythrocytes
Erythrocytes contain _____ to transport O2 and CO2 to and from tissue
Hemoglobin
Large cell that acts in immunological defense
Lymphocyte
The types of Leukocytes
Lymphocyte (ag)
Monocyte (ag)
Neutrophil (g)
Eosinophil (g)

Lymphocyte: granular or agranular?
Agranular
Monocyte: granular or agranular?
Agranular
Neutrophil: granular or agranular?
Granular
Eosinophil: granular or agranular?
Granular
Basophil: granular or agranular?
Granular
Nucleus is very large and is visible when stained
Thin layer of cytoplasm around nucleus
Immunity
2 types: B cell + T cells
Lymphocyte (agranular)
When activated, they become plasma cells and produce antibodies
B cell Lymphocytes
2 types of Lymphocytic T cells
Cytotoxic and helper T cells
What do cytotoxic T cells do?
Kill infected body cells
What do helper T cells do?
Aid in the activation and amplification of cytotoxic T cells
What percentage of lymphocytes make up all leukocytes?
20-25%
What percentage of monocytes make up all leukocytes?
3-8%
Phagocytes(eat bacteria) that respond to injury and foreign antigens. They have the ability to get into tissue and engulf bacteria.
Kidney bean shaped and clear blue cytoplasm
Monocyte
Abundant cell consisting of 60-70% of leukocytes.
Multilobed nuclie and the first to respond to infection.
Functions in first to attack infection
Neutrophil
WBC that combat Ellergic reactions and combat parasitic infections
Bilobed nucleus
Rare (2-4% of leukocytes)
Eosonophil
Responsible for asthmatic attacks
Rarest of leukocytes (.5-1%)
Basophil
The primary role is in homeostasis, clumping at the site of injury, and initiating clotting.
Appear as tiny dark specs between erythrocytes and leukocytes.
Thrombocyte (platelet)
Iron-containing protein that helps transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in red blood cells
Hemoglobin
Process to stop bleeding
Hemostasis
Branch of medicine that studies blood and the prevention of disease in blood
Hematology
Blood count that tallies types of leukocytes in the blood
Differential blood count
Blood count to evalute overall health. Count measures erythrocytes, leukocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and thrombocytes
Full blood panel
Test % of erythrocytes in persons blood
Hematocrit
Results from too few erythrocytes or hemoglobin.
Anemia
Disease resulting from too many erythrocytes.
Polycythemia
Results from too few leukocytes.
Leukopenia
Results from too many leukocytes
Leukocytosis
What percentage of the WBC do neutrophils make up?
60-70%
What percentage of WBC do eosinophils make up?
2-4%
What percentage of WBC does basophil make up?
0.5-1%
Protects body from invaders
Antibodies
Universal donor
O
Universal recipient
Type AB blood
What percentage of WBC do lymphocytes make up?
20-25%
What percentage do monocytes makeup?
3-8%
What is the normal range for platelets?
150,000-400,000 / microliter of blood or mm^3
What is the normal range of WBC?
5,000-10,000 / mm^3
What is the average range of RBC?
4.8-5.4 Million / mm^3 (mL)
What is the normal range for blood glucose levels?
70-110 mg/dL
Units of measurement for Hemoglobin
g/100 mL
ml to dl conversion
1ml = 0.01 dl
divide the value by 100
Normal blood glucose count
70-110 mg/dl
mg to g conversion
1 mg = 0.001 g
Divide by 1000
How do you find hematocrit?
Hemoglobin x 3 =
Normal range of hg in females
12-16 g/100ml
Normal range of hg in males
13-18 g/100mg
