fibrin
the process of blood formation within the red marrow of bones is called
hematipoesis
the volume of erythrocytes within a given volume of whole blood,expressed as a percentage is
hematocrite
blood cell formation is called______and occurs in the red bone marrow
hematopiesis
all formed elements arise from a common type of stem cell called
hemocytoblast
the iron containing protein found in RBC's that transports the majority of oxygen carried in the blood is
hemoglobin
blood clotting disorder
hemophilia
the process by which bleeding is stopped is called
hemostasis
the series of reaction that stop blood flow following the cut is called
hemostasis
heredity bleeding disorder that results from lack of clotting factors are refereed to as
hempohilla
does not describe blood plasma
it is the color of red wine
blood plasma is
largely water
white blood cells are called
lekocytes
not a type of red blood cell disorder
leukemia
in a centrifuged blood sample , the buffy coat between the formed elements and the plasma contain
leukocytes and platelets
an abnormal low WBC count is called
leukopenia
the organ largely responsible for the synthesis of clotting factors is the
liver
platelets are fragments of multinculeate cells called
megakaryocytes
the type of leukocytes that become macrophages in the tissue are
monocytes
the most numerous white blood cells are the
neutrophils
severe shock occurs with blood loss of
over 30 percent
the condition in which fetal RBC's are destroyed faster than the infant liver can rid the body of the breakdown products of hemoglobin is called
physiologic jaundice
the matrix of blood is called
plasma
megkaraycoytes pinch off ancucleate fragments called
platelets
excessive erythrocytes results
polycythemia
the red blood cell disorder caused by life at a high altitude is called
polycythemia
if you carry the Rh antigen you are referred to as Rh
positive
an immature RBC is called a
reticuloycte
blood cell formation in adults occurs in all expect
shaft of the femur
not a physical characteristic of blood
sweet tasting
a thrombus that has broken away from a vessel wall and is freely floating in the bloodstream is called
thromboyctopenia

85% of Americans are
Rh +
a person with type B can receive blood from blood types
B and O
the blood type referred to as the universal donor is called type
O
a decreased in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called
anemia
substances that the body recognizes as foreign are called
antigen
the iron essential for blood clotting
calcium
the process by which WBC's are able to easily slip in and out of blood vessels is called
diapedesis
a cloth that breaks away from a vessel wall and circulates freely within the bloodstream is called
embolus
the type pf leukocytes that would increase rapidly during allergy attacks and infections of parasitic worms are
eosinphils
the anucleate cells that function to transport oxygen to the body's cells are called
erthyrocytes
formed elements is the most abundant
erythrocytes
the hormone that regulates the rate of erythrocyte production is called
erythropoietin
treatment of hemophilia often involves
transfusion of plasma or injections of missing clotting factors
proper sequances of hemostasis
vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, coagulation
