Stoppage of blood flow due to vessel spasm, formation of a platelet plug, development of an insoluble fibrin clot, clot retraction, and clot dissolution
What is Hemostasis
100
Levels used to evaluate immune function
What is t-lymphocytes
100
The main function of the red blood cells
What is transport of oxygen to the tissues
100
Stimulates the red blood cell production in the bone marrow
What is erythropoietin
100
Helps control allergic responses
What is eosinophils
200
Bleeding disorder that may involve intrinsic or extrinsic pathways due to disruption of thrombin generation that is primarily caused by infection
What is DIC
200
Causes an overproduction of abnormal monocytes or granulocytes
What is Myelocytic Leukemias
200
Common to the production of both red and white blood cells
What is Myeloid stem cell
200
creates antibiodies and controls immune response
What is lymphocytes
300
Occurs when RBCs are destroyed outside the spleen
What is hemoglobinuria
300
Originates from malignancies in both T- and B-lymphocytes
What is non-hodgkin lymphoma
300
120 days
What is the life of RBC
300
Common to the production of lymphoid stem cells and myeloid stem cells
What is Pluripotent stem cell
300
Because these cells direct the immune response, their levels are used to evaluate immune function
What are T-lymphocytes
400
Diseases comprise a group of genetic disorders characterized by the presence of hemoglobin S (Hb S) that can cause red blood cells to change from their usual biconcave disc shape to a crescent or sickle shape during deoxygenation.
What is Sickle Cell anemia
400
Causes an overproduction of abnormal immune cells
What is lymyphcytic leukemias
400
Is either passed through the liver and eventually to bile or is exhibited as jaundice
What unconjugated bilirubin
400
Comprised of the 3 subtypes neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
What are granulocytes
500
The disorder is caused by the weakening and destruction of red blood cells caused by variant or missing genes that affect how the body makes hemoglobin. Usually presents as microcytic anemia
What is thalassemia
500
Occurs when the bone marrow does not produce new cells, leaving the body susceptible to bleeding and infection.
What is aplastic anemia
500
Are the precursors of both common lymphoid cells and common myeloid stem cells
What are multipotent stem cells
500
These cells make up 60% to 65% of the total white blood cells – primarily responsible for maintaining normal defense against invading bacteria, fungi, cell debris, and foreign substances.
