Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Plasma | Liquid that contain water, electrolytes, hormones, wastes, proteins |
| Hemoglobin | heme (iron) protein (globin) |
| erythropoetin | produced and secreted by cells in kidney and liver |
| Neutrophils | most abundant, phagocytosis of foriegn particles, polymorphonucelocytes (PMN) |
| Eosinophil | kill parasites for allergic reactions (tapeworm, hookworm,etc.) |
| Basophil | release heparin and histamine for allergic reactions |
| Monocyte | phagocytosis, mature to macrophage |
| lymphocyte | T Cell and B cell |

| deoxyhemoglobin | hemoglobin with no bound oxygen |
| oxyhemoglobin | hemoglobin bound oxygen |
| Leukopoiesis | WBC production |
| edema | accumulation of excess interstitial fluid leading to swelling of tissues |
