PRACTICAL 1 Flashcards
plasma
55%
erythrocytes
45%
leukocytes
3x larger than RBC, around body tissues and in blood
granulocytes
neutrophils eosinophils basophils
agranulocytes
lymphocytes monocytes
neutrophil
abundant multilobed nuclei
eosinophil
red or pink, bilobed nuclei
basophil
black granules, bilobed nucleus
lymphocytes
large/round nuclei
monocytes
kidney shaped nuclei
sickle cell anemia
crescent shaped RBC inherited hemoglobin B chain mutation less O2 carrying capacity, lack production of RBC
sickle cell anemia hematocrit
less than normal because of decreased RBC production
polycythemia
RBC more packed together, overactivity of EPO or testosterone/ decrease in plasma high bp or clots from viscosity
infectious mononucleosis
atypical lymphocytes with abnormal nuclei, unusual shapes of cells, cytoplasmic skirting
polycythemia hematocrit
higher than normal due to overproduction of RBC
leukemia
unregulated overproduction of immature leukocytes
myelogenous leukemia
bone marrow
lymphocytic leukemia
lymphocytes
leukemia hematocrit
lower than normal
compensated blood loss hematocrit
lower, plasma increases because of water retention
dehydration hematocrit
higher, less plasma
doping hematocrit
higher, more RBC
codominance
A + B antigens can be present
hemagglutination
antibodies bind to 2 RBC which creates clumping can cause hemolysis and mass immune response
