Immunoglobulins in plasma that react with antigens on the surfaces of foreign red blood cells when donor and recipient differ in blood type are called

agglutinins

Antigens on the surfaces of RBCs whose presence and structure are genetically determined are called

agglutinogens

The check the efficiency of gas exchange at the lungs, blood would be drawn from an

arterial puncture

A specialized fluid connective tissue that contains cells suspended in a fluid matrix is the

blood

The process of WBCs migrating across the endothelial lining of a capillary, squeezing between adjacent endothelial cells, is called

diapedesis

Very immune RBCs that actively synthesize hemoglobin are the

erythroblasts

Immobile monocytes found in many connective tissues are called

fixed macrophages

The blood cells and cell fragments suspended in the ground substances are referred to as

formed elements

The part of the red blood cell responsible for the cell's ability to transport oxygen are carbon dioxide is

hemoglobin

T cells and B cells are representative cell populations of WBCs identified as

lymphocytes

The bloodstream carries cells, antibodies, ansuspended in thed cytokines of the

lymphoid system

The production of lymphocytes from stem cells is called

lymphopoiesis

Platelets originate from enormous cells called

megakaryocytes

The leukocytes that would be involed in attracting fibroblasts that produced scar tissue that "walls off" an injured area is a

monocyte

During fibrinolysis, the clot gradually dissolved through the action of

plasma

The ground substance of the blood is the

plasma

After a clot has formed, the clot shrinks due to the action of actin and myosin filaments contained in

platelets

The flatened shape of RBC's enables them to form stacks called

rouleaux

When the clotting proteins are removed from the plasma, the remaining fluid is the

serum

During reclycling, when iron is extracted from the heme molecules and released into the bloodstream, it binds to the plasma protein

transferrin

The first phase of hemostasis involves a period of local vasoconstriction called the _______ phase

vascular

The most common clinical procedures for collecting blood for blood tests is the

venipuncture

Interactions between the dissolved proteins, formed elements, and the surrounding water molecules deterkine the blood's

viscosity

For erythropoiesis to proceed normally, the myeloid tissues must receive adequate amounts of amino acids, iron, and

vitamin B12
