|
plasma
|
fluid material composed of proteins, electrolytes, hormones, waste, nutrients.
|
|
|
erythrocyte
|
red blood cell, produced in bone marrow, lack nuclei and mitochondria, packed with the protein hemoglobin, flexible
|
|
|
leukocyte
|
white blood cell, consists of neutraphils eosinohphils, basophils, which are granular and lymphocytes and monocytes which are agranular.
|
|
|
platelet
|
helps clot blood
|
|
|
buffy coat
|
thin layer between plasma and erthrocytes, consists of platelets and leukocytes
|
|
|
hematocrit
|
when erythrocytes make up 45% of blood and the top 55% is plasma.
|
|
|
electrolytes
|
they're in plasma
|
|
|
albumin
|
a protein in plasma, made in liver, maintains blood pressure

|
|
Neutrophils
|
Defend against bacteria, their death results in pus, multi-lobed nucleus, most common type, do not conatin lysosomes
|
|
|
Eosinophils
|
deal with parasitic infections, bi-lobed nucleus, full of pink-orange granules, predominant cell in allergic reactions--asthma, hay-fever, hives

|
|
Basophils
|
chief responder to allergic reactions by releasing histamine, bi or tri lobed nucleus, many granules makes nucleus hard to see
|
|
|
Lymphocyte
|
B cells - make antibody, T cells are helper cells, small amount of clear cytoplasm, deep staining nucleus
|
|
|
Monocyte
|
vaccuum cleaner, lack granules, kidney shaped nucleus
|
|
|
hemopoiesis
|
mature red blood cells have a short life span and have to continuously be replaced, derived from the stem cells located in bone marrow
|
|
|
pluripotent
|
capable of cell division and self renewal
|
|
|
bone marrow
|
red or yellow, red color is produced by blod and hemopoietic cells, yellow -- filled with fat cells
|
|
|
leukemia
|
ancer of the white blood cells
|
|
|
lymphoma
|
cancer of the lymphocytes
|
|
|
