Hemopoiesis
Give this one a try later!
Production of formed elements in red bone marrow; Division of stem cells
that differentiate into WBCs
,Platelets
Give this one a try later!
Form clots; <1% of formed elements; produced in red bone marrow; aka
thrombocytes
Types and population of WBCs
Give this one a try later!
Neutrophils 50-70%
Lymphocytes 25-45%
Monocytes -8%
Eosinophil 2-4%
Basophils 1%
How does altitude affect hematocrit?
Give this one a try later!
Body makes more erythrocytes to carry more oxygen to the tissues.
Hematocrit also increased by chronic lung disease and testosterone.
WBC/Leukocytes
, Give this one a try later!
Produce immune response; .01% formed elements; larger than RBCs, no
hemoglobin
Diapedesis
Give this one a try later!
the passage of blood cells through the intact walls of the capillaries, typically
accompanying inflammation
Megakaryocytes
Give this one a try later!
Produce platelets in red bone marrow
Eosinophil
Give this one a try later!
bilobed nucleus; red granules, kill parasitic worms, role in allergy/asthma;
modulate the immune response; 2-4%
