Update graded A+ all units covered Accurate
Spring-Summer REAL /AUTHENTIC
Hematologic system is made up of these 7 things - ANSWER: lymph nodes
thymus
liver
spleen
arteries
veins
bone marrow
5 Functions of blood - ANSWER: 1. transportation of dissolved gases, nutrients,
hormones and metabolic wastes
2. regulation of the pH and ion composition of interstitial fluids
3. restriction of fluid losses and pathogens
4. defense against toxins and pathogens
5. the stabilization of body temperature
Hematopoiesis - ANSWER: constant production of blood cells
4 Components of Blood - ANSWER: 1. Plasma
2. Red Blood Cells-aka-erythrocytes
3. White Blood Cells-aka-leukocytes
4. Platelets-aka-thrombocytes
Plasma is responsible for what? - ANSWER: the transportation of various salts,
dissolved proteins, nutrients, waste products, gases, hormones, electrolytes, and
other materials
Red Blood Cells (RBC) are known as what? - ANSWER: Erythrocytes
White Blood Cells are also known as what? - ANSWER: Leukocytes
2 main types of white blood cells - ANSWER: Granulocytes and Agranulocytes
Granulocytes differentiate into what? - ANSWER: neutrophils, eosinophils, and
basophils
contribute to the body's non-specific defenses
are non-discriminate against a threat or non-threat micro-organism
Agranulocytes - ANSWER: comprised of the remaining white blood cell population
, What do Agranulocytes differentiate into? - ANSWER: monocytes and lymphocytes
Monocytes - ANSWER: are very large and aggressive phagocytic cells that often
engulf pathogens as large, or larger than themselves
Lymphocytes - ANSWER: are responsible for initiating specific defense mechanism by
coordinating immune responses and producing antibodies
Platelets "AKA" Thrombocytes - ANSWER: responsible for the formation of clots that
stop bleeding
Arteries - ANSWER: thick, smooth muscled vessels whose main purpose is to carry
blood away from the heart
Arteries carry this - ANSWER: carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the
peripheral tissues of the body
Pulmonary Artery - ANSWER: the only exception of the arteries that carries
deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
Arterioles - ANSWER: parts of the arteries that become progressively smaller as they
feed into the capillaries
Capillaries - ANSWER: microscopic vessels and serve as the site for gas (o2 and CO2),
also nutrient exchange between peripheral tissues and cells
Veins - ANSWER: carry de-oxygenated blood from peripheral tissues to the heart
Red Marrow - ANSWER: is blood cell producing marrow and is found mainly in the
flat bones in the ends of the long bones
Yellow Marrow - ANSWER: found in the interior middle portion of long bones and
can turn into red marrow in extreme situations such as severe and sustained blood
loss, comprised of mainly adipose cells
Hemoglobin - ANSWER: carried in red blood cells that allow oxygen and carbon
dioxide to exchange at the capillary level
Spleen - ANSWER: largest mass of lymphatic tissue in the body, stores and produces
red and white blood cells and remove foreign material and damaged cells
Liver - ANSWER: largest organ of the body that stores whole blood and iron
What is the soft pinkish-gray and lobulated gland located in the upper portion of the
chest cavity, just behind the sternum? - ANSWER: thymus
