21
Q

lymphocytes

A

large, dark nucleus; antibodies; 20-45%

22
Q

monocytes

A

largest; macrophages; fights chronic infection; 4-8%

23
Q

platelets

A

thrombocytes; fragments, clotting process; normal: 300,000

24
Q

hematopoiesis

A

in red bone marrow; blood cell formation of RBC and WBC; common stem cells

25
Q

hemocytoblast

A

all blood cells are derived from a common stem cell

26
Q

erythropoietin

A

rate of RBC production and controlled by a hormone; kidneys;

27
Q

Thrombopoietin

A

stimulates production of platelets

28
Q

Colony stimulating factors (CSFs) and interleukins

A

prompt bone marrow to generate leukocytes

29
Q

Hemostasis

A

stopping the bleeding that results from a break in a blood vessel

30
Q

hemostasis 3 phases

A

vascular spasms
platelet plug formation
coagulation

31
Q

vascular spasms

A

 Immediate response to blood vessel injury
 Vasoconstriction (due to release of the hormone Prostaglandin at injury site) causes blood vessel to spasm
 Spasms narrow the blood vessel, decreasing blood loss

32
Q

platelet plug formation

A

Collagen fibers are exposed and Platelets become “sticky” and cling to fibers

33
Q

coagulation

A

blood clotting; Injured tissues release tissue factor (TF), clotting cascade is triggered, prothrombin to thrombin -> Thrombin joins fibrinogen proteins into hairlike molecules of insoluble fibrin -> fibrinogen -> fibrin

34
Q

undesirable clotting

A

thrombus and embolus

35
Q

thrombus

A

stationary clot

36
Q

embolus

A

moving clot

37
Q

antigens

A

self or foreign

38
Q

antibodies

A

recognizes that bind foreign antigens

39
Q

transfusion reaction

A

stopping pressure

40
Q

sites of blood cell formation

A

liver, spleen, bone marrow

41
Q

anemia

A

any decrease in oxygen-carrying ability die to blood

42
Q

sickle cell anemia

A

abnormally shaped hemoglobin

43
Q

polycythemia

A

excessive or abnormal increase of RBC due to bone marrow cancer and life at higher altitudes

44
Q

leukopenia

A

abnormally low WBC count by drugs

45
Q

leukocytosis

A

above normal count due to infection

46
Q

leukemia

A

bone marrow becomes cancerous

47
Q

thrombocytopenia

A

insufficient number of platelets

48
Q

hemophilia

A

hereditary; normal clotting factors are missing

49
Q

hemolysis

A

rupture of RBCs
