Anatomy Cardiovascular System: Blood

Front 1

Which of the four basic tissue types is blood?

Back 1

Connective Tissue

Front 2

What are the two basic components of blood?

Back 2

Formed Elements (in the cell)
Plasma

Front 3

Blood plasma contains a number of plasma proteins. These are large and therefore don’t cross the capillary walls and therefore contribute to osmotic pressure. Match each to its function.
Osmotic pressure and transport insoluble molecules -
Antibodies and transport insoluble molecules -
Clotting –

Back 3

Osmotic pressure and transport insoluble molecules - ALBUMINS
Antibodies and transport insoluble molecules - GLOBULINS
Clotting – FIBRINOGEN

Front 4

What do we call the percentage of whole blood contributed by formed elements?

Back 4

Hematocrit

Front 5

What is the technical term for red blood cells?

Back 5

Erythrocytes

Front 6

Describe the shape of a red blood cell

Back 6

Bi-concave Disc

Front 7

Why don’t red blood cells use oxygen or replicate themselves?

Back 7

Lack Mitochondria
Lack Nucleus

Front 8

What do we call the small, enzyme containing membranous sacs that result from the fragmentation of megakaryocytes?

Back 8

Platelets

Front 9

What is the technical term for white blood cells?

Back 9

Leukocytes

Front 10

What kinds of white blood cells are granular (stain with a neutral dye), have a multi-lobed nucleus, and are active phagocytes?

Back 10

Neutrophils

Front 11

What kinds of white blood cells are granular (stain red with an acidic dye), have a bi-lobed nucleus, and phagocytize compounds that have reacted with antibodies as well as reducing inflammation?

Back 11

Eosinophils

Front 12

What kinds of white blood cells are granular (stain purple with a basic dye), and contain histamine and heparin that promote inflammation.

Back 12

Basophils

Front 13

What kinds of white blood cells are agranular, the largest of WBCs, have a kidney-bean shaped nucleus, and are known as free macrophages outside of the bloodstream.

Back 13

Monocytes

Front 14

What kind of white blood cells are agranular, have very little cytoplasm around a large nucleus, and are responsible for what is termed specific immunity (the ability to respond to invades on an individual basis, including the ability to retain information regarding past infections)?

Back 14

Lymphocytes

Front 15

Match the two varieties of these WBCs (lymphocytes) to their general description.
Attack foreign cells directly –
Produce antibodies to foreign invaders–
Destroy abnormal tissues –

Back 15

Attack foreign cells directly – T-cells (mature in thymus)
Produce antibodies to foreign invaders– B-Cells (mature in Bone marrow)
Destroy abnormal tissues –Natural Killer Cells
