What bones produce blood cells?

Skull, Ribs, Sternum, Vertebrae, Pelvis, ends of long bones, bone marrow

What bones do NOT produce blood cells?

Phalanges

Define hemoglobin

containing pigment in red blood cells, carries oxygen

Define hematocrit

used to determine ratio of red blood cells to total blood

Define plasma

Liquid medium, blood cells are suspended

What are the formed elements of blood?

Leukocytes, thrombocytes, erythrocytes

What do red blood cells do?

Carry oxygen

What do white blood cells do?

Respond and fight against infection

What do platelets do?

Cause blood clotting

What is a neutrophil, and its function?

A type of white blood cell, first cell to appear at injury

What is a eosinophil, and what does it do?

protect the body by releasing substances to neutralize toxic compounds

What is a basophil, and what does it do?

release histamines/heparin when tissue is damaged

What is a monocyte, and what does it do?

transform to macrophages, digest pathogens/dead cells

What is a lymphocyte, and what does it do?

tonsils, spleen, lymphs, tumor cells

List the orgrans of the lymph system

Cervical Lymph Nodes, Tonsils, Right Lymphatic Duct, Thymus, bone marrow, spleen, lymphatic vessels

What does the medication thrombolytic do?

dissolve a blood clot

What do anticoagulants do?

Prevent blood clots

What do antimicrobials do?

antibiotic - kill bacteria, inhibits growth

What do antivirals do?

Same as an antimicrobial, against replication of viral diseases

Hematology definition

study of blood cells, bone marrow and lymph nodes

Urticaria definition

hives

Bacteremia definition

bacteria in the blood

Erythropenia

decrease in red blood cells

Hematoma

mass of blood within an organ, cavity , or tissue/bruise

Septicemia

presence of disease-causing micro-organisms in the blood (poisoning)

Immunity

body's protection from most bacteria, viruses, transplant organs or grafts, even our own cells

Leukemia

cancer of blood/bone marrow --> abnormal increase in white blood cells

Anemia

reduction of red blood cells --> weakness, fatigue

Infectious Mononucleosis

cause by epstein-barr virus

AIDS

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome - sexually transmitted virus (Kaposi Sacroma)

Hodgkin Disease

Malignant cancer in lymph nodes

Sickle Cell Anemia

Red blood cells that become crescent shaped when oxygen is low

Hemophilia

bleed too much - blood doesn't clot
