This is not a game for the highly squeamish or the Trypanophobic ... lot's of blood, and needles!
100
This substance is the percentage of blood that is occupied by erythrocytes. It is normally about 45%.
What is hematocrit?
100
The hematopoietic growth factor which is responsible for blood platelet formation and is also known as megapoietin, megakaryocyte growth and development factor (MGDF), and c-Mpl ligand.
What is Thrombopoietin?
100
About 85% of Americans are what, meaning that their Red Blood Cells carry the D antigen?
What is Rh+ (Rh positive)?
100
Another term for Agglutinogen.
What is Antigen?
100
Without this action, blood vessels would gradually become completely blocked.
What is Fibrinolysis?
200
"These" proteins are not used as fuel for body cells because their presence in blood is required to perform many key functions.
What are plasma proteins?
200
The three steps of this crucial homeostatic response which occurs when blood vessels are ruptured are vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and coagulation
What is hemostasis?
200
The Universal Donor (Blood Type).
What is O?
200
This type of common blood test includes counts of the different types of formed elements, the hematocrit, measurements of hemoglobin content, and size of Red Blood Cells. Together these tests provide a comprehensive picture of a person’s general health in relation to normal blood values.
What is CBC (Complete Blood Count)?
200
Because of this disease, the affected individual complains of being tired and achy, and has a chronic sore throat and a low-grade fever. There is no cure, but with rest the condition typically runs its course to recovery in a few weeks.
What is Infectious Mononucleosis?
300
Each hemoglobin molecule can transport this many O2 molecules:
What is/are four?
300
Which bleeding disorder results from absence of clotting factor VIII?
What is Hemophilia?
300
The Universal Recipient (Blood Type).
What is AB?
300
This is a blood disorder in which your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. It also may result in production of too many of the other types of blood cells — white blood cells and platelets. It is often found during a blood test done for some other reason.
What is Polycythemia Vera?
300
This term literally meaning “white blood,” refers to a group of cancerous conditions involving overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. The more serious acute forms primarily affect children while the chronic form occurs more often in elderly people.
What is Leukemia?
400
The kidneys’ synthesis of erythropoietin is compromised in advanced kidney disease, so Red Blood Cell production decreases, causing this disease:
What is anemia?
400
This bleeding disorder results from not having enough platelets results in failure to plug the countless small tears in blood vessels, and so manifests as small purple spots.
What is Thrombocytopenia (Platelet Deficiency)?
400
Nigel is told he has type B blood. Therefore he has these ABO antibodies in his plasma?
What are A antibodies?
400
A differential White Blood Cell count would likely reveal an increase in this type of Leukocyte because they are a major body defense against bacteria.
What is are Neutrophils?
400
This Granular Leukocyte has a bilobed nucleus; large purplish-black cytoplasmic granules; a diameter 10–14 μm, and releases histamine and other mediators of inflammation, and contains heparin, an anticoagulant.
What is a Basophil?
500
These cells account for about 3-8% of White Blood Cells having an average diameter of 18um, have a "U" or Kidney-shaped nucleus and develop into a macrophage, which are crucial in the body’s defense against viruses, certain intracellular bacterial parasites, and chronic infections such as tuberculosis.
What is a Monocyte?
500
The extrinsic pathway is triggered by exposing blood to a factor found in tissues underneath the damaged endothelium. This factor is called factor III, or by what other name?
What is tissue factor (TF)?
500
Unique to the ABO blood groups is the presence in the plasma of preformed antibodies called what? They act against Red Blood Cells carrying ABO antigens that are not present on a person’s own red blood cells.
What are agglutinins?
500
Early in fetal development, blood cells form at many sites—the fetal yolk sac, liver, and this organ, among others—but by the seventh month, the red marrow has become the primary hematopoietic area and remains so (barring serious illness) throughout life.
What is the Spleen?
500
Just beforethese leave the marrow and enter the circulation, their nuclei constrict, beginning the process of nuclear segmentation.
What are Granulocytes?
