PLATELETS

 

THROMBOCYTES

 

FUNCTION IN CLOTTING BLOOD

Term
WHAT IS A GRANULOCYTE? NAME THE 3 DIFFERENT TYPES:
Definition

CYTOPLASM CONTAINS LYSOSOMES AND OTHER MEMBRANE-BOUNDED ORANELLES THAT APPEAR AS CONSPICUOUS COLORED GRANULES IN STAINED BLOOD FILMS.

 

NEUTROPHILS

EOSINOPHILS

BASOPHILS

Term

WHAT IS AN AGRANULOCYTE:

NAME THE 2 DIFFERENT TYPES:

Definition

CYTOPLASMIC GRANULES ARE ABSENT.

 

LYMPHOCYTES

MONOCYTES

Term
WHAT IS PLASMA
Definition

A CLEAR EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX- FOUND ON A SLIDE- THE MATRIX IN WHICH THE CELLS AND OTHER ORGANELLES ARE SUSPENDED WITHIN.

 

CONTAINS: WATER, PROTEINS, NUTRIENTS, NITROGENOUS WASTES, HORMONES, AND GASES.

Term
VISCOSITY
Definition

THE RESISTANCE OF A FLUID TO FLOW, RESULTING FROM THE COHESION OF ITS PARTICLES.

 

IMPORTANT IN CIRCULATORY FUNCTION BECAUSE IT PARTIALLY GOVERNS THE FLOW OF BLOOD THROUGH VESSELS.

 

RBC DEFICIENCY REDUCES VISCOSITY.

Term
HEMATOCRIT
