1. When erythrocytes are removed from circulation, the Transferrin / Ferritin
iron of hemoglobin is transported in the blood by the
beta-globulin protein ___ and stored in the liver by the
protein __.
2. Phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes and aller- Functions of Eosinophils
gens.
3. Most leukocytes release molecules that facilitate their Lysozyme, an enzyme that
role as defenders of the body. What type of substance destroys bacterial cell walls
is released by neutrophils?
4. The red color of arterial blood is due to the presence hemoglobin
of __ in erythrocytes.
5. What types of functions are performed by blood? Regulation of body fluid
levels, body temperature,
ph of tissue fluid
6. Plasma proteins called antibodies contribute to the Gamma Globulins
immune responses to pathogens.
7. Interfere with activities of pathogens through a num- Leukocytes
ber of cellular mechanisms.
8. Prevent blood loss from breaks in small blood vessels Platelets
by forming a plug.
9. Plasma proteins that prevent blood loss from larger Fibrinogen
vessels by forming insoluble threads that trap formed
elements, forming a blood clot.
10. Events that occur in order, during the intrinsic pathway Platelets release factor
to coagulation. XII (12), Factor XI (11)

changes inactive factor IX
(9) to active factor IX, Fac-
tor VIII (13) changes inac-
tive factor X (10) to active
factor X (10)
11. The bone marrow cell from which all formed elements Pluripotent Stem Cell
are derived is considered to be a __ because many, but
not all, body cells can develop from it.
12. Deconstruction of the medical term for a red blood cell erythro / cyte
reveals that the prefix __ means "red", and the suffix
___ means "cell".
13. Large; transport iron and lipids Beta Globulins
14. Also known as antibodies; produced by immune cells Gamma Globulins
and can bind to antigens of pathogens.
15. Small; transport lipids and mineral ions Alpha Globulins
16. How do leukocytes and erythrocytes differ? Leukocytes defend the
body against pathogens,
erythrocytes transport res-
piratory gases. Most
leukocytes are in tissue
spaces, whereas most ery-
throcytes are in the blood
stream. Mature leukocytes
have a nucleus but mature
erythrocytes do not. Some
leukocytes have granules
