Chapter 13 - The Blood

What is the condition in which an odorless gas combines rapidly with hemoglobin and crowds out oxygen?

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The function of thrombocytes is to:

Create a platelet plug

X is the abnormal condition in which a blood clot becomes lodged in a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood in the vessel.

Embolism

The white blood cells that combat parasites and irritants that cause allergies are

Eosinophils

Red blood cells are called:

Erythrocytes

X , or red blood cells, make up about 95% of the volume of blood cells.

Erythrocytes

X appear as biconcave disks with edges that are thicker than the center of the cell, looking somewhat doughnut shaped. They do not have a nucleus and are simple in structure.

Erythrocytes

X forms the long threads that act like a fishnet at the site of injury, forming the clot.

Fibrin

Which plasma protein is necessary for blood clotting?

Fibrinogen

The blood protein fibrinogen is necessary:

For blood clotting

The plasma protein responsible for the synthesis of antibodies is

Globulin

The iron compound in hemoglobin is

Heme

Erythrocytes come from stem cells in the red bone marrow called:

Hemocytoblasts

X is a genetically inherited clotting disorder associated with the expression of a recessive gene on the X chromosome, inherited from the mother and passed down to male children.

Hemophilia

X is an inherited clotting disease.

Hemophilia

A condition caused by the Epstein-Barr virus that affects the lymphocytes and the salivary glands, resulting in sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and fever, is

Infectious Mononucleosis

X anemia is due to chronic blood loss.

Iron-Deficiency

X have nuclei and no pigment. Their general function is to combat inflammation and infection.

Leukocytes

X are the cells that form thrombocytes.

Megakaryocytes

Hematopoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow, which is also known as X tissue.

Myeloid

X are the WBCs that are responsible for phagocytizing harmful bacteria.

Neutrophils

The process by which leukocytes attack invading microorganisms and clean up cellular debris by consuming the material, or eating cells, is known as

Phagocytosis

What is the process that surrounds, engulfs, and digests harmful bacteria?

Phagocytosis

A person with type A+ blood has A and X antigens and X antibodies.

Rh, B

Blood does all of the following, EXCEPT:

Secrete Hormones

X is the medical term for blood poisoning, which is caused by an infection of microorganisms and their toxins in the blood.

Septicemia

X is an inherited anemia that affects people of Mediterranean descent.

Thalassemia

The white blood cells include all of the following, EXCEPT:

Thrombocytes

What is a blood disease in which there is a decrease in the number of platelets?

Thrombocytopenia

X is the most common cause of bleeding disorders.

Thrombocytopenia

Formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel is called:

Thrombosis

A(n) X is a blood clot.

Thrombus

The average adult's body has how many liters of blood?

5 to 6

The liquid portion of blood called plasma contains water and other substances. Water makes up X% of the volume of plasma.

91%

If blood groups are mismatched, X, or clumping of red blood cells, will occur.

Agglutination

The plasma protein that maintains osmotic pressure and volume is

Albumin

What is the most abundant of all the plasma proteins?

Albumin

A(n) X is a protein on the surface of the RBC.

Antigen

If a patient's blood type is B+, the donor's blood must be:

B+, B−, O+, or O−
