Blood System 2 Flashcards
(25 cards)
Immunoglobulin produced by lymphocytes to combat specific antigens such as bacteria, viruses, or other antigens
Antibody
Liquid portion of blood after clotting (minus fibrinogen and platelets)
Serum
Response of the immune system to foreign invasion
Immune reaction
Foreign substance or toxin or other substance that stimulates the production of an antibody(immune response)
Antigen
Liquid portion of the blood containing protein, water, salt, and fibrinogens
Plasma
White blood cell
Leukocyte
Derived from bone marrow
Myeloid
Clotting cell; platelets
Thrombocyte
Lab test that microscopically exams, a blood smear to determine shape or form of cells(part of the CBC test)
Red blood cell morphology(rbc morph)
Major blood protein that maintains proper amount of water in the blood
Albumin
Deficiency in the numbers of red blood cells
Anemia
Lack of mature, red cells due to inability to absorb vitamin B 12 into the body
Pernicious anemia
Relieving symptoms, but not curing disease
Palliative
Malignant immature lymphocyte multiply in the bone marrow bloodstream and lymphatic system
Acute lymphoid leukaemia
Formation of red blood cells
Erythropoiesis
Swelling fluid leaks out into tissue spaces
Edema
Reduction in red cells due to excessive cell destruction
Hemolytic anemia
Monoxide that migrates from the blood to tissue spaces, large phagocytes
Microphage
Blood clotting process
Coagulation
Lab test that measures the distance red blood cells fall in the test tube overtime; detects inflammatory diseases
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)
Plasma protein that contains antibodies; immunoglobulins
Gamma globulins
Mononuclear leukocyte that produces antibodies
Lymphocyte
Plasma protein that is converted to fibrin in the clotting process
Fibrinogen
Eat or swallow, combining form
Phag/o
