1
New cards
lymphocytes
\-used in defense of body
\-2 types- B and T
\-produce antibodies
\-cell mediated immunity
\-nucleus are dark and large and take up most of cell
\-agranulocyte
\-found in lymph organ
2
New cards
neutrophils
\-most active
\-in pus in wounds
\-phagocytes
\-engulf foreign material + fights bacterial infections
\-60% of WBCs
\-nucleus is multi lobed- has 3
\-granulocyte
\-release lysosomes
3
New cards
eosinophils
\-rare
\-allergic response
\-pink to orange when stained
\-attacks parasites
\-2 lobed nucleus- looks like 2 bawlls put together w string
\-granulocytes
4
New cards
basophils
\-inflammatory response- asthma
\-make heparin and histamine
\-has largest granules
\-stains deep blue/purple
\-granulocyte
5
New cards
monocytes
\-active phagocytes
\-become macrophages inside tissues
\-has 1 nucleus
\-agranulocytes
6
New cards
platelets
tiny fibrin threads
\-blood clotting
\-form mesh to clot blood cells
\-forms scabs when hardening
\-from bone marrow
7
New cards
antigens
proteins on RBC
8
New cards
A antigens
antigen on type A
9
New cards
Anti B
antibodies in type A
10
New cards
antibodies
\-a blood protein that counteracts a specific antigen
11
New cards
plasma
\-transports soluble food mlcls, waste, hormones, anitbodies, dissolved gases and chemicals
\-liquid part of blood
12
New cards
sickle cell anemia
homozygous recessive trait
\-heterozygous genotype provides resistance to malaria
causes misshaped RBC
13
New cards
hemophilia
bleeders diseases
\-sex linked X trait
\-missing/low levels of blood clotting factors
14
New cards
Rh factor
determines if you have +/-
\-if you have it you are +
\-problems in pregnancy= when fetus is Rh+ and Mom is Rh-, mothers immune system can attack fetus
15
New cards
leukopenia
too few WBCs
16
New cards
leukocytosis
too many WBCs caused by infection
17
New cards
anemia
\-body doesnt have enough healthy RBCs
\-treatment= vitamin B12, folate, iron to help convert iron in hemoglobin
18
New cards
coagulation
Clotting factors (proteins) your liver makes stick to platelets in your blood to form a blood clot (coagulate)
\-heparin and warfarin prevent it
19
New cards
spleen
organ that removes damaged/old blood cells
20
New cards
homeostasis
1) blood vessel spasm - serotonin=vasoconstrictor
2)platelet plug formation- forms fibrinogen
3)blood coagulation - inside cell - conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thrombin enzyme converts it
21
New cards
type AB
has no antibodies
has 2 types of antigens
(blood type)
