  • Primary function:  the red blood cells are dedicated to gas transport , hemoglobin binds reversibly with oxygen 


    • shape offers huge surface area relative to volume for gas exchange

  • Why is the leukocyte the only formed element that is considered a "complete cell"? -it has nuclei and organelles

    • Primary function of a Leukocyte:  defense against disease

    • What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes? - granulocytes contain visible cytoplasmic granules and lobes nuclei , whereas agranulocytes doesn't contain visible cytoplasmic granules.

    Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation? 
    -sickle cell anemia
    Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms? 
    -it cannot synthesize hemoglobin because of the lack of iron
    Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape? - no ]]>     2019-05-13 11:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419638     Platelets halkut802 https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419639 Primary Function: form temporary platelet plug that helps seal breaks in blood vessels ]]> 2019-05-13 11:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419639 Indetify each type of Luekocyte in the diagram below (type the name above each cell.) halkut802 https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419641 Neutrophils Eosinophils Basophils Monocytes Lymphocyte]]> 2019-05-13 11:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419641 Granulocyte function halkut802 https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419642 Which type of granulocyte would be found in inflamed sites of the body? -basophils

    If a person had a tapeworm within their digestive system, which granulocyte would release digestive enzymes on the surface of the worm.- eosinophils

    Which granulocytes accounts for 50-70% of the white blood cells? -neutrophils

    What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation? - when activated, platelets swell ,become spiked and sticky ,releasing ADP

    What is this process considered a positive feedback cycle?  -as more stick they release more chemicals causing more to stick ]]>     2019-05-13 11:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419646     Hemostasis step 3 halkut802 https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419647 What does coagulation do for the platelet plug? - reinforces platelet plug with fibrin threads ]]> 2019-05-13 11:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halkut802/1byjnj6lyxlp/wish/359419647
