Blood Basics
This is the process of how blood cells are produced
What is Hematopoiesis (Pg. 276)
This is an abnormally high red blood cell count.
What is polycythemia.
This is a cell fragment that helps with blood clotting.
What is a platelet.
This blood type has A antigen and B antibodies
What is type A. (Pg. 288-289)
This is the definition of "Anemia"
What is a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin.
This is how blood clots is formed and dissolved.
What is though a reaction cascade of clotting factors leading to fibrin formation, and then broken down by fibrinolysis. (Pg. 286 and 287)
This is an abnormally high white blood cell count.
What is Leukocytosis.
This is blood clot that forms in a blood vessel and obstructs blood flow.
What is "Thrombus".
This blood type has no antigens and both A nad B antibodies.
What is type O. (Pg. 288-289)
This is the definition of "Leukopenia".
What is an abnormally low white blood cell count.
This simulates the production of new red blood cells and there red bone marrow is found in adults.
What is erythropoietin and in flat bones (like the pelvis and sternum) and the ends of long bones. ( Pg. 279 EPO)
This summarizes the life cycle of red blood cells.
What is production in bone marrow, circulation for about 120 days, and breakdown in the spleen. (Pg. 279)
This process, involving platelets and proteins like fibrin, prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured.
What is clotting?
This blood type is considered the universal donor.
What is type O negative. (Pg. 290)
This is the definition of "Velocity".
What is the speed of blood flow.
This is the major complication that can occur due to Rh incompatibility between mother and fetus.
What is hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) or erythroblastosis fetalis. (Pg. 291)
This explains the function of white blood cells in general.
What is to defend the body against infection and disease. (Pg. 282)
This discusses the mechanisms for controlling bleeding.
What are vascular spasms, platelets plug formation, and coagulation. (Pg. 285 and 286)
This is the antibody a person with type B blood will have in their plasma.
What is anti-A. (Pg. 289)
This is the thickness or resistance of blood to flow.
What is "Viscosity".
This is the number of oxygen molecules that one hemoglobin molecule can carry.
What is four. (Pg. 277)
This is the structure and function of hemoglobin.
What are protein chains in red blood cells that carries oxygen, containing iron-rich heme groups. (Pg. 277)
This describes the formation and function of platelets.
What is formed from megakaryocytes in bone marrow and functions aiding in blood clotting. (Pg. 285)
This blood type can safely receive blood from a person with type O negative blood.
What is any blood type- A, B, AB, and O positive or negative. (Pg. 290)
This is the definition of Leukocyte and and Erythrocyte.
What is White blood cell and Red blood cell.
