1. Nutrients

2. Gases

3. Proteins]]> 2018-04-23 14:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254420774 Erythrocytes (also known as red blood cells ) kaysea928 https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254420909
  • Primary function: 
    • Hemoglobin binds with oxygen and the RBC are dedicated to respiratory gas transport .
    • Describe how the cell's shape and lack of mitochondria assist the cell in effectively carrying its primary function. 
    The cells shape is biconcave disc and the 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's a complete cells because it makes up 1% of total blood volume and has nuclei and organelles
    • Primary function of a Leukocyte: 
    - to fight off any diseases that enter the blood
    • What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes? 
    - Granulocytes contain visible cytoplasmic granules
    - Argranlocytes does not contain any cytoplasmic

    - it is a fast series of reactions for stoppage of bleeding.

    - It constricts the blood vessels, reducing blood loss.
    What are some things that could trigger it?
    - Some things that can trigger is direct injury, chemicals, and pain reflexes]]>     2018-04-23 14:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254421938     Hemostasis step 2 kaysea928 https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254422242 What must happen before the platelets will stick to the walls of blood vessels?
    - The collagen fibers must be exposed.

    What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation?
    - Causes more platelets to stick

    What is this process considered a positive feedback cycle? 
    - Platelets stick to one another and they release chemicals to which then more platelets come and stick to the other platelets.]]>     2018-04-23 14:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254422242     Hemostasis step 3 kaysea928 https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254422276 What does coagulation do for the platelet plug?

  • What type of Agranulocyte specializes in fighting against tumors? 
    • - The T lymphocytes
    • What type of Agranulocyte differentiates into macrophages? 
    - The Monocytes

    - Basophils
    If a person had a tapeworm within their digestive system, which granulocyte would release digestive enzymes on the surface of the worm.
    - The Eosinophils
    Which granulocytes accounts for 50-70% of the white blood cells?
    - Neutrophils

    Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation?
    - Hemoglobin
    Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms?
    - It causes symptoms because there is low iron in the blood stream which causes low oxygen in take.
    Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape?
    - No they do not ]]>     2018-04-23 14:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kaysea928/jwmfhyljo711/wish/254424459
