25
white blood cells, are far less numerous than red blood cells, they are crucial to body defense against disease.
LEUKOCYTES
26
form a protective, movable army that helps defend the body against damage by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and tumor cells.
LEUKOCYTES
27
White blood cells are able to slip into and out of the blood vessels- a process called
DIAPEDESIS
28
In addition, WBCs can locate areas of tissue damage and infection in the body by responding to certain chemicals that diffuse from the damaged cells; this capability is called
POSITIVE CHEMOTAXIS
29
Once they have “caught the scent”, the WBCs move through the tissue spaces by ___________ (they form flowing cytoplasmic extensions that help move them along).
AMEBOID MOTION
30
A total WBC count above 11, 000 cells/mm3 is referred to as
LEUKOCYTOSIS
31
The opposite condition, is an abnormally low WBC count.
LEUKOPENIA
32
are granule-containing WBCs; they have lobed nuclei, which typically consist of several rounded nuclear areas connected by thin strands of nuclear material, and includes neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
GRANULOCYTES
33
are the most numerous of the WBCs
NEUTROPHILS
34
neutrophils are avid _________ ( a type of cell within the body capable of engulfing and absorbing bacteria and other small cells and particles) at sites of acute infection, and are particularly partial to bacteria and fungi.
PHAGOCYTES
35
have blue red nucleus that resembles an old-fashioned telephone; their number increases rapidly during allergies and infections by parasitic worms or entering via the skin.
EOSINOPHILS
36
the rarest of the WBCs, contain large, histamine-containing granules that stain dark blue; histamine is an inflammatory chemical that makes blood vessels leaky and attracts other WBCs to the inflammatory site.
BASOPHILS
37
The second group of WBCs that lack visible cytoplasmic granules; their nuclei are closer to the normal - that is, they are spherical; they are spherical, oval, or kidney-shaped; and they include lymphocytes and monocytes.
AGRANULOCYTES
38
agranulocytes include
LYMPHOCYTES AND MONOCYTES
39
have a large, dark purple nucleus that occupies most of the cell volume; they tend to take up residence in lymphatic tissues, where they play an important role in the IMMUNE RESPONSE
LYMPHOCYTES
40
are the largest of the WBCs; when they migrate into the tissues, they transform into macrophages with huge appetites; macrophages are very important in fighting CHRONIC INFECTIONS.
MONOCYTES
41
are a type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells
MACROPHAGES
42
Blood cell formation
HEMATOPOIESIS
43
where does hematopoiesis occurs
IN RED BONE MARROW OR MYELOID TISSUE
44
is your body’s process of making red blood cells
ERYTHROPOIESIS
45
ensures you have the right number of blood cells — not too few or too many.
ERYTHROPOIESIS
46
ERYTHROPOIESIS
PROERYTHROBLAST ERYTHROBLAST NORMOBLAST RETICULOCYTE ERYTHROCYTE
47
fully mature red blood cell
ERYTHROCYTE
48
starts before people are born
ERYTHROPOIESIS
49
erythropoiesis takes place in
BONE MARROW
50
is the spongy tissue inside of your bones.
BONE MARROW
51
is your body’s process of making all three types of blood cells
HEMATOPOIESIS
52
THREE TYPES OF BLOOD CELL
RED BLOOD CELLS (ERYTHROPOIESIS) WHITE BLOOD CELLS (LEUKOPOIESIS) PLATELETS (THROMBOPOIESIS)
53
It takes about _____ for a red blood cell to fully mature.
A WEEK
54
Red blood cells live for approximately _____ days.
120
55
don’t have enough oxygen
HYPOXIA
56
A hormone called __________ triggers erythropoiesis.
ERYTHROPOIETIN
57
A hormone called _________ spurs red blood cell production
ERYTHROPOIETIN
58
are chemical messengers that coordinate essential body functions.
HORMONES
59
secrete most of your body’s EPO.
KDINEYS
60
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RED BLOOD CELLS to carry oxygen to your body’s tissues. As a result, you may feel weak, tired or cold.
ANEMIA
61
YOU HAVE TOO MANY RED BLOOD CELLS. Depending on what’s causing erythrocytosis, you may experience mild symptoms, like a headache or fatigue. You may be at risk of more severe complications like blood clots.
ERYTHTROCYTOSIS
62

A B
63
recessive
O
64
The human ABO gene is on _______
CHROMOSOME
65
Everyone has ___copies of chromosome so you have two ABO genes.
TWO
66

67
two forms of a gene (dominant & recessive)
ALLELES
68
pairs of genes that carry the same traits and are located at the same place on pairs of chromosomes
ALLELES
69
