The blood carries oxygen to body tissues and to remove the waste product carbon dioxide
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
30
Normal adult has approximately ___ liters of blood
5
31
A pre term infant weighing 1 kilogram will have only ___ milliliters mL 0f blood
100
32
Biconcave,7 to 8 micrometers No nucleus
ERYTHROCYTES
32
Most abundant in plasma
Albumin
33
The blood cells begin their formation in the bone marrow and lymph nodes as undifferentiated hematopoietic stem cells. They continue to mature through different stages, slowly decreasing in size
HEMATOPOIESIS
34
Granules vary from pink, blue, or orange Differential count
LEUKOCYTES
34
Releases oxygen to tissues and brings carbon dioxide back to the lungs
Hemoglobin
35
holds oxygen molecules absorbed through the membrane as erythrocytes passes through the lungs
Hemoglobin
36
Large white cells that have purple centers (nuclei) when viewed
LEUKOCYTES
37
Smallest cells of the formed elements
THROMBOCYTES
38
Megakaryocytes
THROMBOCYTES
39
Located in the center of the antecubital fossa

40
It aids in the clotting process
THROMBOCYTES
41
VEINS AND ARTERIES OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Median Cubital Vein Cephalic Vein Basilic Vein
42
It forms a bridged pathway between the basilic and cephalic veins
MEDIAN CUBITAL VEIN
43
It is the easiest vein to palpate and has less tendency to roll than other veins
MEDIAN CUBITAL VEIN
44
It is located along the thumb side of the arm
CEPHALIC CUBITAL VEIN
45
It is not prone to rolling, but it is slightly more difficult to feel
CEPHALIC CUBITAL VEIN
46
It is more difficult to feel and has a tendency to roll
BASILIC VEIN
47
It should be approached with caution because underlying this vein is the brachial artery and median cutaneous nerve
BASILIC VEIN
48
Carry blood from the heart, carry oxygenated blood
Arteries
49
Carry blood to the heart, carry deoxygenated blood
Veins
50

PLASMA
51
When the blood is removed from the body, the blood clots and the liquid portion is ______
serum
52
contains all the formed elements intertwined together in a fibrin mass
Clot (BLOOD)
53
It is a chemical substance that prevents the blood from clotting by preventing the fibrinogen from converting to fibrin
