Chapter 6: Blood And The Lymphatic And Immune Systems

Front 1

FUNCTION

Back 1

Blood transports to all areas of the body gases, nutrients, and wastes either attached to red blood cells or dissolved in the plasma. White blood cells fight infections and disease, and platelets initiate the blood clot.

ABO systems

Back 21

In the ABo blood system there are two possible reb blood cell markers, A and B.

Front 22

Type A

Back 22

a person with an A marker. Type A blood produces anti-B antibodies that will attack type B blood.

Front 23

Type B

Back 23

a person with an B marker. Type B blood produces anti-A antibodies that will attack type A blood.

Front 24

Type AB(Universal Recipient)

Back 24

does not contain any antibodies.Therefore, type AB blood will not attack any other blood type.

Front 25

Type O(Universal Donor)

Back 25

contains no markers. Contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies for this reason type o can give blood to any type.

Front 26

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

Back 26

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

Front 27

Complete Blood Count(CBC)

Back 27

combination of blood test

Front 28

Hematocrit(HCT, Hct, crit)

Back 28

blood test to measure the volume of erythrocytes within the total volume of blood.

Front 29

Hemoglobin(Hgb, hb)

Back 29

a blood test to measure the amount of hemoglobin present in a given volume of blood.

Front 30

Platelet Count

Back 30

blood test to determine the number of platelets in a given volume of blood

Front 31

Prothrombin Time(Pro time, PT)

Back 31

a measure of the blood's coagulation abilities by measuring how long it takes for a clot to form after prothrombin has been activated.

Front 32

Red blood cell count(RBC)

Back 32

blood test to determine the number of erythrocytes in a volume of blood. A decrease in red blood cells may indicate anemia; an increase may indicate polycythemia.

Front 33

Sequential mutiple analyzer computer(SMAC)

Back 33

machine for doing multiple blood chemistry test automatically.

Front 34

White blood cell count(WBC)

Back 34

blood test to measure the number of leukocytes in a volume of blood. An increase may indicate the presence of infection or a disease such as Leukemia. A decrease in leukocytes may be caused by radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

Front 35

Bone marrow aspiration

Back 35

sample of bone marrow is removed by aspiration with a needle and examined for diseases such as leukemia or aplastic anemia

Front 36

Phlebotomy

Back 36

incision into a vein in order to remove blood cell for a diagnostic. Also called venipuncture

Front 37

ESR, SR, sed rate

Back 37

erythrocyte sedimentation rate

Front 38

SECTION II

Back 38

The Lymphatic and Immune Systems

Front 39

FUNCTION

Back 39

The lymphatic system consists of a network of lymph vessels that pick up excess tissue fluid, cleanse it, and return it to the circulatory system. It also picks up fats that have been absorbed by the digestive system. The immune system fights disease and infections.
