  • Primary function: contribute to gas transport; filled with hemoglobin for gas transport.

    • Describe how the cell's shape and lack of mitochondria assist the cell in effectively carrying its primary function.
    Bioconcave shape offers huge surface area relative to volume for gas exchange. RBC's have no mitocondria because ATP production is anaerobic, so they do not consume oxygen they transport.

  • Why is the leukocyte the only formed element that is considered a "complete cell"?
    • Leukocytes are considered a complete cell because they have nuclei and organelles.

    • Primary function of a Leukocyte: function and defense against disease.

    • What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes?
    Granulocytes contain visible cytoplasmic granules while agranulocytes do not.

    Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation?
    Sickle Cell anemia.

    Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms?
    Cannot synthesize hemoglobin because the lack of iron.

    Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape?
    No.]]>     2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441000     Platelets corgum170 https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441002 Primary Function: form temporary plug that helps seal breaks in blood vessels.]]> 2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441002 Indetify each type of Luekocyte in the diagram below (type the name above each cell.) corgum170 https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441006 Neutrophils Eosinophils Lymphocyte Monocyte Basophils]]> 2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441006 Granulocyte function corgum170 https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441007 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.

    Responds to injury.

    What are some things that could trigger it?
    Direct injury to vascular smooth muscle, chemicals released by endothelial cells and platelets, and pain reflexes.]]>     2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441019     Hemostasis step 2 corgum170 https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441023 What must happen before the platelets will stick to the walls of blood vessels?
    They have to be exposed.

    What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation?
    Causes more platelets to stick together and release their contents.

    What is this process considered a positive feedback cycle?
    As more platelets stick, they release more chemicals, which causes more platelets to stick and release chemicals.]]>     2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441023     Hemostasis step 3 corgum170 https://padlet.com/corgum170/6p0dxrczsbt3/wish/359441025 What does coagulation do for the platelet plug?
