Q

which wbc is rare, has a lobed nucleus, and dark granules.

A

basophil

17
Q

which wbc has the largest, wide shaped nucleus with a blue cytoplasm

A

monocyte

18
Q

which wbc contains histamine, increases in leukemias, and affects vascular permeability?

A

basophil

19
Q

which cell undergoes phagocytosis, and moves into the tissues and becomes a macrophage?

A

monocyte

20
Q

which wbc participates in immune defense, are non-granulocytes, has a blue cytoplasm, a round nucleus?

A

lymphocytes

21
Q

what are thrombocytes?

A

small granular fragments

aids in clotting

22
Q

what are antigens?

A

a type of protein found on the surface of erythocytes

23
Q

what is an antibody?

A

present in the plasma, attacks corresponding antigen

24
Q

what would anti-A attack? what would it cause?

A

it will attack the A antigen causing a clumping of cells which have this antigen on their surface

25
Q

if you are type A, what antibodies would you have?

A

anti-B

26
Q

why does your serum not contain antibodies that correspond to the antigens on your erythrocytes?

A

this would cause your red cells to clump

27
Q

type a blood can be transfused with which groups?

A

A, O

28
Q

type b blood can be transfused with which groups?

A

B, O

29
Q

type AB type b blood can be transfused with which groups?

A

all

30
Q

type O type b blood can be transfused with which groups?

A

only O
