ANAT chp 20 blood

Which of the four basic tissue types is blood?

What are the two basic components of blood?

Blood plasma contains a number of plasma proteins. These are large and therefore don‘t cross the capillary walls and therefore contribute to osmotic pressure. Match each to its function.
Osmotic pressure and transport insoluble molecules - Antibodies and transport insoluble molecules - Clotting –

What do we call the percentage of whole blood contributed by formed elements?

What is the technical term for red blood cells?

Describe the shape of a red blood cell.

Why don‘t red blood cells use oxygen or replicate themselves?

What do we call the small, enzyme containing membranous sacs that result from the fragmentation of megakaryocytes?

What is the technical term for white blood cells?

What kinds of white blood cells are granular (stain with a neutral dye), have a multi-lobed nucleus, and are active phagocytes?

What kinds of white blood cells are granular (stain red with an acidic dye), have a bi-lobed nucleus, and phagocytize compounds that have reacted with antibodies as well as reducing inflammation?

What kinds of white blood cells are granular (stain purple with a basic dye), and contain histamine and heparin that promote inflammation.

What kinds of white blood cells are agranular, the largest of WBCs, have a kidney-bean shaped nucleus, and become macrophages outside the bloodstream.

What do we call the former monocytes that act as aggressive phagocytes, roam the body, and may attract other WBCs as well as fibrocytes that may isolate the infected area in scar tissue?

What do we call aggressive phagocytic cells (such as microglia and osteoclasts) that are permanent residents of particular connective tissues?

What kind of white blood cells are agranular, have very little cytoplasm around a large nucleus, and are responsible for what is termed specific immunity (the ability to respond to invaders on an individual basis, including the ability to retain information regarding past infections)?

Match the two varieties of these WBCs (lymphocytes) to their general description. Attack foreign cells directly – Produce antibodies to foreign cells– Destroy abnormal tissues –
