17
Q

This is slightly larger than RBCs, and the rim is nearly clear cytoplasm. In smaller ones the nearly round nucleus appears to fill most of the cell. In larger ones it’s hard to distinguish these from monocytes.

A

Lymphocytes

17
Q

This is the largest WBC, and it’s 2-3x larger than RBCs. The cytoplasm is nearly clear. The nucleus is either round, kidney shaped, oval, or lobed.

A

Monocytes

18
Q

This is a cell fragment and is in single to small clusters.

A

Platelets

19
Q

These have fine, light purple granules. The nucleus is single to five lobes (highly variable). Immature ones are called bands and have a C shaped nucleus. Mature ones are called segs and have a lobed nucleus. They’re often called polymorphonuclear leukocytes when they’re older.

A

Neutrophils

20
Q

These have course, reddish granules, and the nucleus is usually bilobed.

A

Eosinophils

21
Q

These have course, deep blue to almost black granules. The nucleus is almost hidden by the granules.

A

Basophils

22
Q

Which granulocyte phagocytizes small particles?

A

Neutrophils

23
Q

Which granulocyte releases heparin and histamine?

A

Basophils

24
Q

Which granulocyte destroys parasites, and helps control inflammation and allergic reactions?

A

Eosinophils

25
Q

Which agranulocyte provides immunity?

A

Lymphocyte

26
Q

Which agranulocyte phagocytizes large particles?

A

Monocytes

27
Q

What’s another name for a platelet?

A

Thrombocytes

28
Q

Which agranulocyte helps to control blood loss from injured blood vessels?

A

Platelets or Thrombocytes

29
Q

Name the four veins of the upper limb and shoulder.

A
  1. Axillary vein
  2. Cephalic vein
  3. Basilic vein
  4. Median antebrachial vein (superfical)
30
Q

Name the three tunics of the walls of arteries and veins.

A
  1. Tunica interna
  2. Tunica media
  3. Tunica externa
31
Q

What three things are cardiac muscle tissue made up of?

A
  1. Cardiac muscle
  2. Nucleus
  3. Intercalated discs
32
Q

This cell’s function is 50-70% of bacterial infections and stress. Also is it a granulocyte or an agranulocyte?

A

Neutrophil - Granulocyte

33
Q

This cell’s function is 25-33% mono, whooping cough, and viral infections. Also is it a granulocyte or an agranulocyte?

A

Lymphocyte - Agranulocyte

34
Q

This cell’s function is 3-9% malaria, tuberculosis, and fungal infections. Also is it a granulocyte or an agranulocyte?

A

Monocyte - Agranulocyte

35
Q

This cell’s function is 1-3% allergic reactions, auto immune diseases, and parasitic worms. Also is it a granulocyte or an agranulocyte?

A

Eosinophil - Granulocyte

36
Q

This cell’s function is <1% cancers, chicken pox, and hypothyroidism. Also is it a granulocyte or an agranulocyte?

A

Basophil - Granulocyte

37
Q

Name four veins of the upper limb and shoulder.

A
  1. Axillary
  2. Cephalic
  3. Basilic
  4. Median Antebrachial
38

Name six veins of the pelvis and lower limb.

A
  1. Inferior Vena Cava
  2. Common iliac vein
  3. Internal iliac vein
  4. External iliac vein
  5. Femoral vein
