hepatic macrophages
Kupffer cells
SaO2
arterial oxygen saturation
T cells
the type of lymphocyte that attacks foreign cells and cells infected by viruses
memory B
remain in the lymphoid tissues and initiate a secondary response so that pathogens are destroyed before signs and symptoms of the disease appear
normal range of albumin in blood
3.2 - 5 g/dl
HDL
high density lipoprotein-good cholesterol
the normal HCO3 in blood
22-26 mEq/L
monophyletic
the theory proposes that one stem cells serves as the precursor cell for all the formed elements
erythema
a red flushing of the skin that is caused by the dilation of skin capillaries containing oxygenated hemoglobin
has purple-blue granules
basophil
type 3 pneumocytes
histiocytes
inconspicuous granules
neutrophils contain these granules in the cytoplasm
cells that attack foreign cells and virus infected cells and act as a natural defense against cancer, responsbile for immunological surveillance
Natural killer cells
neutrophils diameter
10-14 microns
a chemical mediator in basophils that decreases platelet counts
heparin
these cells are found to be decreased in number in patients suffering from lupus
supressor T
these cells are the largest white blood cells
monocytes
antibody mediated immunity is provided by
memory B cells
cell mediated immunity is provided by
killer T cells
Hbs
sickle cell hemoglobin
induced erythrocythemia
blood doping
characterized by an increased number of granulocytes
myelogenous leukemia
normal level of glycosylated hemoglobin
4-6%
characterized by abnormally small cells that contain low levels of hemoglobin
microcytic anemia
