Smear campaign
Identify the cell: defensin proteins, very phagocytic, respiratory burst (granulocyte)
Neutrophil
Binds reversibly with oxygen, made up of polypeptide chains and a heme pigment.
hemoglobin
The process of blood clotting is a: positive or negative feedback mechanism?
positive feedback mechansim
where does erythropoiesis take place primarily?
red bone marrow
Identify the cell: parasites, allergies, asthma (granulocyte) – red staining contains digestive enzymes
Eosinophils
The percentage of RBCs in the blood. Slightly higher in males.
Hematocrit
what are the three stages of hemostasis?
1. vasuclar spasm
2. platelet plug formation
3. coagulation
what is the name of the hematopoietic stem cell
hemocytoblast
Identify the cell: contain histamine, vasodilate & recruit WBCs to inflamed sites (granulocyte)
Basophils
the process of red blood cell creation
erythropoesis
the third step of hemostasis involves coagulation which has two different pathways. Which one is faster? Intrinsic or extrinsic?
extrinsic
The kidney receiving low O2 levels will trigger what production?
EPO production
Identify the cell: mostly in lymph tissue, contains T-cells and B-cells (agranulocytes)
lymphocytes
The fast series of reactions for stopping bleeding and blood loss.
hemostasis
Platelets stick to what in damaged vessel walls in platelet plug formation?
collagen fibers
What is the primary hormone in erythropoesis and what triggers its release?
EPO, kidney receiving low oxygen levels (low O2 levels in the body or low RBC levels)
Identify the cell: enter tissues to become macrophages & activate lymphocytes to mount immune response (agranulocyte)
monocytes
blood clotting that reinforces the platelet plug with fibrin threads
coagulation
What is the difference between the instrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation? (explain how they're initiated and mention speeds)
Extrinsic: clot factors outside of blood, faster because it bypasses steps, initiated by tissue cell trauma which exposes blood to tissue factor (TF)
What organ is primarily responsible involved in the promotion of erythropoesis?
kidneys
