Blood

Front 1

A Sticky fibrous protein formed from fibrinogen in blood, tissue fluid, lymph, and semen; forms the matrix of a blood clot.

Back 1

Fibrin

Front 2

An embryonic membrane that encloses the yold in vertebrates that lay eggs and serves in humans as the origin of the first blood and germ cells.

Back 2

Yolk Sac

Front 3

Any of the three types of Leukocytes (Neutrophils, Esinophils, or Basophils) with prominent cytoplasmic granules.

Back 3

Granulocyte

Front 4

A class of relatively large proteins found in the blood plasma and on the surfaces of immune cells, functioning as antibodies.

Back 4

Gamma Globulins

Front 5

Exocytosis and disappearance of cytoplasmic granules, especially in platelets and granulocytes.

Back 5

Degranulation

Front 6

Yellow/Orange bile pigment produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin and excreted in the bile; causes jaundice and neurotoxic effects if present in excess.

Back 6

Bilirubin

Front 7

Granulocye w/ large, bilobed nucleus and coarse cytoplasic granules that stain with eosin; phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes, allerens, and inflammatory chemicals and secretes enzymes that combat parasitic infections.

Back 7

Eosinophil

Front 8

Class of small proteins consistuting about 60% of the protein fraction of the blood plasma; plays roles in blood viscosity, colloid osmotic pressure, and solute transport.

Back 8

Albumin

Front 9

A deficiency of erythrocytes or hemoglobin

Back 9

Anemia

Front 10

Strongly colored organic compounds produced by the breakdown of heoglobin, including biliverdin and bilirubin

Back 10

Bile Pigments

Front 11

Any abnormal traveling object in the bloodstream, such as agglutinated bacteria or blood cells, a blood clot, or an air bubble

Back 11

Embolus

Front 12

The presence of glucose in the urine; indicative of kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, or other endocrine disordres.

Back 12

Glycosuria

Front 13

A granulocye with coarse cytoplasmic granules that produces heprin, histimine, and other chemicals involved in inflammation

Back 13

Basophil

Front 14

An undifferentiated stem cell of the bone marrow that can give rise to any of the formed elements of the blood

Back 14

hemocytoblast

Front 15

A lymphocyte that functions as an antigen-presenting cell and, in humoral immunity, differentiates into an antibody-producing plasma cell; also called a B Cell

Back 15

B Lymphocyte
