thrombosis
An excess of red blood cells in the body is known as ___?
polycythemia
3 stages of hemostasis:
1. vascular spasm
2. platelet plug formation
3. coagulation
3 stages of coagulation:
1. formation of prothrombin activator prothrombinase
2. conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
3. conversion of fibrogen to fibrin
The ___ is phagocytic, produces defensens, and oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide.
neutrophils
The ___ produces histamine and heparin to promote inflammation.
basophils
The ___ is phagocytic, forms osteoclasts and aids in initiating the immune response.
monocytes
The ___ phagocytizes antigen-antibody complexes and helps to fight parasitic worms.
easinophils
The ___ forms T and B cells for immunity.
lymphocytes
This substance is produced by endothelial cells to bring about vasoconstriction.
serotonin/endothelin
This substance stimulates platelets to become spike shaped and sticky to form a platelet plug.
ADP
This substance stimulates repair in the connective tissue of blood vessels.
platelet derived growth factor
What agglutinogens (antigens) would be present on RBCs in a person with type B blood?
B
What agglutinins (antibodies) would you find in the plasma of a person with type A blood?

3 mechanisms used by the body to control the coagulation process and prevent unwanted coagulation.
anticoagulants
blood flow
The ___ in the embryo gives rise to the stem cells that produce the adult blood cells.
yolk sac
The spleen is a part of the ____ system.
lymphoid
This substance stimulates the production of leukocytes.
cytokines
What organ produces the substance that stimulates the production of erythrocytes?
kidneys
What substance is produced to stimulate erythrocyte production?
erythropoietin (produced by kidneys)
This plasma protein group includes HDLs and transfers lipid soluble hormones.
alpha globulin
This plasma protein group is most abundant and involved in osmotic gradient
albumin
Name of the sex-linked disease resulting in the inability of the blood to coagulate.
hemophilia
Describe a transfusion reaction.
1. blood mismatch will cause agglutination (clumping)

2. This can lead to lysing of RBC causing release of hemoglobin into the blood stream.

3. The release of Hemoglobin will block the kidney tubules and lead to renal failure.
This substance increases platelet production
thrombopoietin
This plasma protein group is most abundant and involved in osmotic gradient
albumen
This plasma protein group is involved in blood clotting
fibrinogen
this plasma protein group includes HDLs and transfers lipid soluble hormones
alpha globulin
this plasma protein group includes LDLs and VLDLs
beta globulin
this plasma protein group includes all antibodies
gamma globulin
the movement of a WBC to an infection site
chemotaxis
the movement of a WBC from the blood into tissue spaces through a blood vessel
emigration
What antigen would be present on RBCs in a person with type O blood?
none
What antibodies would you find in the plasma of a person with type B blood?
A
Could a woman with RH- blood produce RH+ antibodies if she gave birth to a Rh+ child?
Yes
