  • Primary function: Gas exchange between O2 and Co2.


    • Describe how the cell's shape and lack of mitochondria assist the cell in effectively carrying its primary function. The bioconcave shape allows for a huge surface area in volume that makes it super effective when exchanging gases.

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

    • Primary function of a Leukocyte: Defense against diseases.

    • What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes?  Granulocytes have visible cytoplasmic granules while agranulocytes don't have visible cytoplasmic granules.

    Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation? Sickle cell anemia

    Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms? Symptoms are cause because there is not enough iron to synthesize the hemoglobin.

    Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape?  No]]>     2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441030     Platelets masbre433 https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441031 Primary Function: Form temporary platelet plug that helps seal breaks in blood vessels.]]> 2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441031 Indetify each type of Luekocyte in the diagram below (type the name above each cell.) masbre433 https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441032 2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441032 Granulocyte function masbre433 https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441035 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 type of Agranulocyte specializes in fighting against tumors? Lymphocyte

    • What type of Agranulocyte differentiates into macrophages? Monocytes

    What are some things that could trigger it?  ---Direct injury to vascular smooth muscle
    -Chemicals released by endothelial cells and platelets
    -Pain reflexes]]>     2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441042     Hemostasis step 2 masbre433 https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441045 What must happen before the platelets will stick to the walls of blood vessels?Collagen fibers must be exposed. 

    What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation?  ADP causes more platelets to stick 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 which releases more chemicals.]]>     2019-05-13 12:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441045     Hemostasis step 3 masbre433 https://padlet.com/masbre433/frneu2z3kder/wish/359441047 What does coagulation do for the platelet plug? Reinforces platelet plug with fibrin threads.
