Blood System 3 Flashcards
(26 cards)
Bleeding into the skin bruises
Ecchymoses
WBCs that become macrophages when they leave the bloodstream and enter tissue to ingest foreign material and tissue debris; mononuclear
Monocyte
Stop patch of bleeding ( flow of blood)
Hemostasis
Deficiency; decreased numbers of cells
Penia
Protein threads that form during coagulation process; weave together to create a blood clot
Fibrin
Antibody producing WBCs to fight antigens; control the immune response; mononuclear( phase one large nucleus); found in lymph and blood form part of immune system
Lymphocyte
Blood group system
ABO
Bone marrow
Myel/o
Naturally occurring anticoagulant found in blood cells (basophils) and tissue cells
Heparin
Phagocytic WBCs accumulate it sites of infection; are granulocytic (contains granules); also called polymorphonuclear glucose
Neutrophils
Plasma protein; converted to thrombin in the clotting process
Prothrombin
Deficient haemoglobin production due to sideropenia (low blood iron)
Iron deficiency anaemia
Infectious disease with increased mono nuclear leukocytes, and enlarged cervical lymph nodes
Mononucleosis
Lab test to determine the percentage of RBC’s in a volume of blood (part of the CBC test)
Hematocrit
Laboratory test for the percentage of antibodies that coat and damage RBCs
Antiglobulin test ( Coombs test
Hereditary disorder of abnormal, haemoglobin producing sickle shaped RBC and haemolysis
Sickle cell anemia
Enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibre during coagulation process
Thrombin
Multiple pinpoint hemorrhages and a accumulation of blood under the skin
Purpura
Condition of deficient colour of RBC due to decrease in haemoglobin
Hypochromia
Abnormal condition of cells increased number of cells
Cytosis
Iron
Sider/o
Lab test count the number of RBC‘s per cubic millimetre or microliter of blood
Red blood cells count (RBC)
Red
Erythr/o
WBC’s that contain heparin ( prevents clotting) and histamine ( involved in allergic responses); blue-staining granules
Basophils
