red blood cells function
transport and carry oxygen
white blood cells function
locomotion by diapedesis; fight infection
granular leukocytes
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
agranular leukocytes
lymphocytes and monocytes
platelets function
blood clotting (coagulation)
Glutenation
reaction (clumping) between antigen and antibodies
iron deficiency anemia
, anemia caused by inadequate iron intake; rbc shrink
pernicious anemia
Vitamin B12 deficiency; rbc swell
sickle cell anemia
rbc are crescent shaped; must need 2 copies of the sickle genes; protects against malaria
hemophilia
clotting disorder
Thalassemias
inability to adequately produce normal Hb protein subunits
malaria
A disease caused by mosquitoes implanting parasites in the blood.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
abnormal blood clotting in small vessels throughout the body that cuts off the supply of oxygen
to distal tissues, resulting in damage to body organs
myeloid leukemia
cancer of granulocytes produced in red bone marrow
lymphoid leukemia
uncontrolled lymphocyte or monocyte production
bacteremia
Bacteria circulating in blood, but not multiplying there
viremia
viruses circulating in blood but not multiplying there
septicemia
pathogens present and multiplying in blood and spreading
whole blood
removed blood when composition is unaltered
