15
Q

name the 2 types of lymphocytes and what they do

A

both are activated by antigens
B lymphocytes: produce antibodies which bind to and remove antigens from tissues
T lymphocytes: activate other immune system components and directly destroy abnormal body cells

Q

describe the function of monocytes/macrophages

A

exit capillaries to enter tissues where some mature into macrophages
macrophages are phagocytic cells that ingest dead and dying cells, bacteria, antigens, etc.

Q

what is the final common pathway of hemostasis

A

prothrombin–>thrombin–>fibrinogen–>fibrin (in actuality plasminogen–>plasmin desolving the fibrin clot is the last step, but whatever ignore this)

20
Q

what antigen is present in Type A blood

A

only A antigen is present on erythrocytes

21
Q

what antigen is present in Type B blood

A

only B antigen is present on erythrocytes

22
Q

what antigen is present in Type AB blood

A

both A and B antigens are present on erythrocytes

23
Q

what antigen is present in Type O blood

A

neither A or B antigens are present on erythrocytes

24
Q

what antibodies are present in Type A blood

A

only anti-B antibodies are present in plasma

25
Q

what antibodies are present in Type B blood

A

only anti-A antibodies are present in plasma

26
Q

what antibodies are present in Type AB blood

A

No antibodies are present in plasma

27
Q

what antibodies are present in Type O blood

A

both anti- A and anti-B antibodies are present in plasma

28
Q

Rh+ and Rh- means..

A

Rh antigen or not on erythrocytes
leading there to be 8 different common blood types

29
Q

what is the universal donor and why

A

O- (Type O without Rh antigen)
because erythrocytes do not have A, B, nor Rh surface antigens

30
Q

what is the universal recipient and why

A

AB+ (Type AB with Rh antigen)
because these individuals do not make antibodies to A, B, or Rh antigens

31
Q

where do platelets come from

A

megakaryocytes

32
Q

what are megakaryocytes

A

cells keep going through mitosis but not cytokinesis (giant cells with a bunch of DNA)

33
Q

name the leukocytes in order of most abundant to least abundant in the blood

A

neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils
(Never Let Molly Eat Bagels)

34
Q

what is hematocrit and what does it show pathologically

A

measures the percentage of erythrocytes in whole blood
shows anemia (too little RBCs for blood volume)
or polycythemia (too many RBCs for blood volume)

35
Q

what is the equation that determines hematocrit

A

hematocrit= (length of erythrocytes/length of whole blood) * 100
