chap 6 general Flashcards
(41 cards)
hematopoiesis occurs where in what bones
red marrow in the sternum, rib, hip, spine, and leg
Erythrocytes
red blood cells (RBCs), most numerous cells in body
ABO blood groups
A, B, AB, O blood types. each type has antibodies in plasma against other blood types
Blood type A
has the A antigen
Blood type B
has the B antigen
Blood type AB
has the A antigens and B antigens
Blood type O
has neither of the antigens
Rh blood group
has many different antigens known as Rh factors. With these factors, you are Rh-positive. Without them, you are Rh negative. If someone has AB blood type, they are either AB negative or AB positive
Leukocytes
white blood cells (WBCs). it has 5 types
Groups of the leukocytes
Leukocytes
Granulocytes: - neutrophil: many large granules (does not
dye red or blue)
- Eosinophil: many large granules (stains red)
- Basophil: many large granules (stained dark
blue or purple)
Agranulocytes: - Lymphocyte: narrowing with no granules
(the large one that’s round without lobes)
- monocytes: large amount with few or no
granules (1 large that’s kidney bean-shaped)
Thrombocytes
only cell fragments. “platelets”
start as stem cells and become megakaryocyte, the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes break off into fragments that are thrombocytes
Plasma
the clear fluid that makes up 55% of the blood
Albumin
a protein molecule that is produced by the liver. maintain the volume of the blood and blood pressure.
Allergic reaction
basophils release histamine in the blood and mast cell release histamine from connective tissue
local reaction
red, swollen, itching in 1 area
system reaction
1 or more body system
anaphylaxis
severe system reactive
eosinophil
release chemicals to destroy foreign cells
basophil
release histamine at the site of tissue damage dilates blood vessel, and increase blood flow
lymphocyte
NK cells, B cell, T cells
NK cells
Natural killer cells. recognize cancer cells and destroys it
B cells
inactive until monocytes present fragments of a pathogen that the monocytes have engulfed. Then B cell change into a plasma cell and produces an antibody
T cells
-Cytotoxic T cells: kills the cell that’s infected with a virus
- Helper T cells: stimulate the production of cytotoxic T cells. when helper T cells encounter a virus; they produce memory T cells
- memory T cells: inactive until a virus enters the body again. they remember the virus and become cytotoxic T cells.
- suppressor T cells: limit the extent and duration of immune response
monocytes
engulf and destroy pathogens that have been coated with antibodies in the process of phagocytosis. produces interferon, interleukin, and tumor necrosis factor
