25
What did neutrophils do?
use phagocytosis to engulf bacteria
26
What are eosinophils?
2%-4% of white blood cells
27
What type of nucleus does eosinophils have?
two lobed nucleus
28
What do eosinophils do?
use enzymes to digest parasitic worms
29
What are basophils?
rarest white blood cells (less than 1%)
30
What do basophils do?
release histamine: an inflammatory chemical that attracts the white blood cells to the site of infection
31
What are lymphocytes?
25% of white blood cells, 2nd most numerous white blood cell
32
What type of nucleus do lymphocytes have?
a large nucleus that takes up most of the cell
33
Where are lymphocytes found?
lymph nodes
34
What are the two types of lymphocytes?
T cells and B cells
35
What are monocytes?
3%-8% of white blood cells, largest leukocytes
36
What type of nucleus do monocytes have?
kidney shaped nucleus
37
What do monocytes do?
become macrophages: phagocytes that engulf viruses and other pathogens
38
What is hemostasis?
a series of reactions that stop the bleeding when a blood vessel wall breaks
39
What are the three antigens/proteins that cause blood type?
A antigens, B antigens, Rh factor
40

to the heart

between the heart and lungs (upper loop)
45
What do pulmonary arteries do?
carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
46
What do systemic veins do?
carry deoxygenated blood from the tissue back to the heart
47
What are system arteries do?
carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissue
