Blood
100

Erythrocytes transports oxygen bound to hemoglobin molecules

Erythrocytes

100

Lacks A & B antigens, universal donor

type O

100
O2 rich blood 
Scarlet red blood
100

reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood caused by a decreased number of erythrocytes or decreased percentage of hemoglobin in the blood.

 anemia

100

help protect the body from antigens

antibodies
200

Active phagocytes, number increases rapidly during short-term or acute infections

Neutrophils

200

has both A & B antigens, universal recepient

Type AB

200

O2 poor blood

Dull red

200

genetic disorder in which abnormal hemoglobin becomes sharp and spiky under low oxygen conditions, resulting in the easy rupture of RBCs and the clogging of small vessels, which interferes with oxygen delivery.

sickle cell anemia

200

1) Erythrocytes (red blood cells)

2) Leukocytes (white blood cells)

3) Platelets (cell fragments)

formed elements

300

Kill parasitic worms by deluging them wiht digestive enzymes, play role in allergy attacks

Eosinophils

300

Has B antigens and anti-A antibodies

Type B

300

7.35-7.45

pH of blood
300

presence of an abnormally large number of erythrocytes in the blood.

polycythemia

300

carry O2 and CO2

Erythrocytes

400

release histamines at site of inflammations

Basophils

400

Has A antigens and anti-B antibodies

Type A

400

slightly higher than body temperature

temperature of blood

400

high white blood cell count

leukocytosis

400
Biconcave disks                                                                               bags of hemoglobin

no nucleus


blood anatomy

500

Active phagocytes that become macrophages in the tissues. Long term "cleanup team". Increase in number during chronic infections.

Monocytes

500

Bases on presence of A or B antigens

ABO blood group

500

Formed elements, plasma, white blood cells

Elements of the blood
500

deficient, or low, white blood cell count

leukopenia

500

Iron containing protien
