General
This is the percentage of red blood cells in whole blood.
Hematocrit (45%)
When this occurs, RBCs will be made.
Hypoxia
Erythrocytes and thrombocytes
Which leukocytes contain histamine to enhance inflammation?
Which antigens does someone with blood type O- have on their erythrocytes?
Just D antigens
This is the pH of blood.
7.4
This is what stimulates erythropoiesis.
Erythropoietin
This is the name for a blood clot.
Thrombus
What is the process by which white blood cells squeeze out of capillaries to travel to a site of damage?
Diapedesis
What is an antibody?
Made by plasma cells, antibodies attach to and attack specific foreign cells in the body.
This is the percentage of water in plasma.
92%
In this stage of erythropoiesis, hemoglobin is symthesized.
polychromatic erythroblasts
Heme breaks down into this final form that gives feces its color.
Stercobilin
What are the stages of blood clotting in order? (3 major phases)
Vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, coagulation
Can a person with type AB- be given O- blood? Why or why not?
Yes, RBCs with O- blood do not have any antigens, so the person with AB- blood would not make antibodies against them. Also, O- is the universal donor for this reason.
This protein found in plasma helps carry hormones through the blood.
Albumin
B cells, T cells and NK cells come from this stem cell line.
Lymphoid
Do red blood cells contain mitochondria?
No, it would use up their oxygen for the tissues.
Where does the common pathway begin?
Factor X
What is hemolytic disease?
When a pregnant person has a negative blood type and the other person has a positive blood type, the pregnant person will need a shot to counteract the possibility that the fetus is a positive blood type before childbirth when blood mixing occurs. If not, the pregnant person will make antibodies against the + blood type and can cause issues with a second pregnancy.
Blood is this type of tissue.
Connective
Platelets are pieces of this cell.
Megakaryocyte
Which white blood cells become macrophages?
Monocytes
Which factor cross-links fibrin (factor Ia)
Factor IIa (thrombin)
When determining someone's blood type, you use a blood typing card. You notice that when exposing the blood to anti-B antibodies and anti-D antibodies, coagulation occurs. No coagulation occurs when exposed to anti-A antibodies. What blood type does the patient have?
B+
