2 Leukocytes
3 Thrombocytes
ordsMajor plasma protien
Albumin
Normal Hematocrit for Females
41%

45%
The middle layer of white blood cells that constitutes about 1% of blood volume is the _____
Buffy coat
The erythrocyte membrane structure is composed of ___, ___ and ____
spectrin
actin
protien 4.1
Leukocytes leave blood vessels by a process of _____
Diapedesis
Red blood cells recently released from bone marrow are called ______, and make up about 1% of RBC
Reticulocytes
Relative Frequency:
Neutrophiles
60-70%
Relative Frequency:
Eosinophiles
2-4%
Relative Frequency:
Basophiles
0-1%
Relative Frequency:
lymphocytes
20-30%
Relative Frequency:
monocytes
3-8%
These blood cells secrete lactoferrin, an iron binding protien
Neutrophiles
These blood cells have small granules that make the cytoplasm salmon pink and large azurophilic granules
Neutrophiles
These blood cells have bilobed nuclei
Eosinophiles
These blood cells function to kill parasites that invade tissue (also dispose of antigen-antibody complex and digest waste enzymes)
Eosinophiles
These blood cells have a role in asthma
Eosinophiles
These blood cells are inactive mediators of inflammation and release histamine
Eosinophiles
These blood cells secrete cytokines (IL-3,4,5… and TNF-a)
Eosinophiles
These blood cells have cytoplasm loaded with granules that stain with Azure B. The granules are so plentiful the may obscure the nucleus
Basophiles
These blood cells have granules rich in heparin, histamine and SRS-A
Basophiles
These blood cells play a role in inflammation and immediate hypersensitivity reactions
Basophiles
These blood cells have a thin rim of cytoplasm and a big spherical nucleus
Lymphocytes
