Three approaches used in lab to study blood |
*blood type *hematocrit *5 types of leukocytes |
|
|
Genetically determined antigens on the surface of erythrocytes are known as: |
Agglutinogens |
|
|
Antibodies that will bind to antigens are known as: |
Agglutinins |
|
|
The process where an antigen-antibody reaction causes the red blood cells to clump together to determine blood type: |
Agglutination |
|
|
Define Hematocrit. |
The percentage of the total blood volume that is comprised of packed red cells. |
|
|
Equation to calculate hematocrit. |
H = Red cell column _____________________ x 100 Total blood column |
|
|
What are the 5 types of leukocyte and it's percentage ? |
Neutrophils- 60-70% Lymphocytes- 25-30% Monocytes- 3-8% Eosinophils- 2-4% Basophils- 0.5-1% |
|
|
What is the function of leukocyte? |
Protect the body against disease. |
|
|
Cells containing cytoplasmic granules are called ? Name all of them: |
(Granulocytes) - •neutrophils •basophils •eosinophils |
|
|
Cells that we thought didn't have cytoplasmic granules, but they actually have very tiny ones are called? Name them: |
(Agranulocytes)- •lymphocytes •monocytes |
|
|
What does the lymphatic system consist of ? |
■Lymphatic Organs ■Lymph Nodes ■Lymphatic Vessels |
|
|
Give me 3 examples of Lymphoid organs: |
♧Spleen ♧Tonsils ♧Thymus |
|
|
Tell me at least 2 functions of the Lympatic System: |
☆ Returning interstitial fluid to the blood. ☆ Filtering lymph before a returns to the blood. ☆ Absorbing the products of fat digestion in the small intestines. ☆ Performing immune responses against pathogens. |
|
|
Name at least 2 tools used in this lab: |
°Capillary tube °Centrifuge °Alcohol prep pad °Plastic blood typing slide °toothpicks °light box |
