Q
  • Parasitic infections and allergic reactions
  • bi lobed
17
Q
  • Allergy and antigen response
  • releases histamine causing vasodilation
  • bi/tri lobed
  • least common
18
Q
  • deep staining
  • eccentric
  • operate primarily in the lymphatic system
19
Q
  • kidney shaped
  • immune response
  • several different types (T cells and B cells)
  • lead to production of antibodies
  • remove dead cell and debris
  • attack microorganisms
20
Q

fragments of cells, each consisting of a small amount of cytoplasm surrounded by a cell membrane

21
Q

Composition of Blood

A

55% Plasma (protein, water, other solutes) , Buffy Coat (platelets and wbc), 45% RBC

22
Q
  • Transport of oxygen and carbon
    dioxide and function exclusively
    within the vascular system
  • Also called Red blood cells
23
Q
  • Constitute an important part of the defense and immune system of the body
  • Also called White blood cells
24
Q
  • Plays a vital role in the control of
    bleeding (hemostasis) by aggregating
    in blood vessel wall areas with
    defects or damage.
  • Also called Platelets.
  • For blood clotting
25
Hematopoiesis
Is the process of making RBC
26
It pumps the oxygenated blood which is why the apex of the heart must be thicker than the base
Ventricle
27
Collects the oxygen-poor blood from the body and then drains the blood into the right ventricle.
Right Atrium
28
Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.
Left Atrium
29
- Dense connective tissue adjacent to the tunica media - (the tissue becomes loose connective tissue toward the outer portion of the blood vessel.)
Tunica Adventitia
30
- Simple squamous epithelial cells (squamous) - Basement membrane - Small amount of connective tissue
Tunica Intima
31
Albumin
- protein ; regulate water retention - major component of osmostic pressure
32
Globulin
- immunoglobulin ; immunity - anti bodies & transport protein
33
Fibrinogens
- blood clotting factors
