11.
blood that can be received by A: A, O
12.
blood that can be received by AB: A, B, AB, O
13.
blood that can be received by B: B, O
14.
blood that can be received by O: O
15.
components of blood: formed elements within plasma
16.
embolus: thrombus breaks away from cell wall and floats freely, may cause stroke, may be caused by severe burns, physical blows or accumulation of fat, ledges in blood vessel too small for it to fit through
17.
erythrocytes: red blood cells
18.
formed elements: RBCs, WBCs, platelets
19.
function of basophils: fight inflammation
20.
function of eosinophils: kill parasites, fight allergy attacks
21.
function of lymphocytes: produce antibodies, fight tumors and viruses
22.
function of monocytes: fight chronic infections
23.
function of neutrophils: fight short term or acute infections
24.
function of platelets: aid in blood clotting
25.
function of RBCs: transport oxygen throughout the body
26.
function of WBCs: fight against disease
27.
hemolyctic anemia: bacterial infection, low RBCs, rupture of RBCs
28.
hemolysis: rupture of RBCs, occurs in 2nd blood transfusion, antibodies attack and rupture Rh+ RBCs
29.
hemolytic disease of a newborn: skin becomes blue, anemic, 2nd pregnancy of an Rh- woman carrying Rh+ babies, mother produces antibodies against Rh+ RBCs
30.
hemophilia: repeated bleeding into joints makes them painful, even minor tissue trauma results in prolonged bleeding, bruise easily
31.
hemorrhagic anemia: decrease in RBCs, sudden hemorrhage
32.
iron deficiency anemia: fatigue, shortness of breath, chills, bleeding ulcer, lack of iron, RBCs are small and pale, lack hemoglobin, doesn't eat red meat
33.
leukemia: huge number of WBCs, bone marrow becomes cancerous, no fever
34.
leukocytes: white blood cells
35.
leukocytosis: high WBC count, indicates bacterial or viral infection, bacterial infection if there's a fever
36.
leukopenia: abnormally low WBC count, caused by some meds
37.
negative blood type: must be - -
38.
O antibodies: anti-A, anti-B
39.
O antigens: none
40.
pernicious anemia: older adult, low RBCs, lack of vitamin B12, defect in stomach mucosa cells
41.
plasma: water, nutrients, salts, respiratory gases, hormones, proteins, products of metabolism
42.
polycythemia: increase in RBCs, caused by bone marrow cancer, response to living at high altitudes, impairs circulation
43.
positive blood type: can be + + or + -
44.
range of basophils: 20-50
45.
range of eosinophils: 100-400
46.
range of lymphocytes: 1,500-3,000
47.
range of monocytes: 100-700
48.
range of neutrophils: 3,000-7,000
49.
range of platelets: 250,000-500,000
50.
range of RBCs: 4-6 million
51.
range of WBCs: 4,000-11,000
52.
sickle cell anemia: genetic defect, abnormal hemoglobin, mainly in Africans, under increased oxygen use RBCs become sickle shaped and clog, cause pain, fatigue, shortness of breath
53.
thrombocytes: platelets
54.
thrombocytopenia: platelet deficiency, caused by impaired liver or genetic condition, vitamin K deficiency, purplish blotches, normal movements cause spontaneous bleeding
55.
thrombus: clot develops in unbroken blood vessel, usually in legs, may cause death or heart attack, prevents blood flow to area beyond the blockage, may be caused by severe burns, physical blows or accumulation of fat
56.
universal donor: O
57.
universal recipient: AB
