Blood Composition (formed)
Anucleated cells that lack organelles and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What are erythrocytes?
Th form in which 3% of oxygen travels through the blood.
What is dissolved?
These cause vasoconstriction to prevent blood loss during injury.
What are vascular spasms?
This occurs when erythrocyte counts are lower than normal.
What is Anemia?
This cell type often deals with new sicknesses and attacks bacteria and fungal infections.
What are Neutrophils?
RBCs are incapable of performing this oxygen-required function because they lack a nucleus and organelles.
What is aerobic respiration?
The binding site for oxygen on hemoglobin.
what is the iron molecule/heme?
The transformation of blood from a liquid to a gel.
What is Coagulation?
This is a measure of percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume.
What is Hematocrit?
These are the least abundant leukocyte, they release histamines for blood vessel permeability.
What are basophils?
These are pinched off, anucleated pieces of cells that are involved in the clotting process.
What are platelets?
This drops in the systemic tissues during intense exercise.
What is the partial pressure?
This pathway is activated upon external trauma.
What is the extrinsic pathway?
This chemical's affinity for hemoglobin is much higher than oxygen which can lead to poisoning in the body.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
This cell type could be a cause of allergies due to underutilization in the US, they defend against parasitic invaders.
What are eosinophils?
This multipotent hematopoietic stem cell type gives rise to myeloid and lymphoid stem cells in the process of producing blood cells.
What are hemocytoblasts?
This is crimson in color and occurs when 4 oxygens are bonded to hemoglobin.
What is Oxyhemoglobin?
This is exposed upon injuries to blood vessels and allows a place for platelets to adhere.
What are collagen fibers?
This is an inherited disorder that disrupts the clotting cascade.
What is Hemophilia?
These cells may be seen in high levels in an elderly person with a chronic UTI.
What are Monocytes?
This stem cell gives rise to neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
What are Myeloblasts
This is highest when hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen is highest.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen?
This ion interacts with damaged tissue cells to form thrombin, a catalyst fibrin.
What is Calcium?
A method of blood doping where a person's blood is drawn, frozen, and then transfused back into the body.
What are autologous infusions?
A quality of leukocytes in which a chemical signal is sent out at a site of damage or infection which draws more cells towards the site.
What is positive chemotaxis?
