SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 3 Flashcards
Necessary for clot formation to maintain hemostasis (by forming a plug)
THROMBOCYTES
To limit blood loss
VASOCONSTRICTION
They adhere together and aggregate together to form initial plug
THROMBOCYTES
to stabilize the plug
FIBRIN
Defense through phagocytosis EXCEPT lymphocytes
LEUKOCYTES
most active in phagocytosis (first)
NEUTROPHILS
TYPES OF LYMPHOCYTES
- T-CELLS
2. B-CELLS
Responsible in producing other regulatory cytokines (e.g.,interleukins) that will regulate the function of other cells
T-CELLS
Responsible for the production of Ab that transform into plasma cells
B-CELLS
MAJOR PRODUCER OF Ab
PLASMA CELLS
most active in phagocytosis
MONOCYTES
less deficient phagocytes
EOSINOPHILS
Function mainly in the oxygen transport
RBC
HIGH CONCENTRATION OF O2 = ?
HEMOGLOBIN WILL HAVE HIGH AFFINITY WITH O2
IN TISSUES, O2 CONCENTRATION IS?
LOW
