  • Primary function: Used to transport gases such as CO2 and O2


    • Describe how the cell's shape and lack of mitochondria assist the cell in effectively carrying its primary function: The cells have a biconcave shape, that allows for increased surface area in respect to volume, so more O2 could bind to it. The lack of mitochondria aid in the transport of gases because the cells do not use up O2 to move.

  • Why is the leukocyte the only formed element that is considered a "complete cell"?
    • Because it is the only formed element with a nucleus
    • Primary function of a Leukocyte: 
    Phagocytize foreign materials
    • What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes? 
    G. contain visible cytoplasmic granules and lobed nuclei. A. do not have visible cytoplasmic granules.

    One is genetic and one is acquired, but both reduce amount of O2 in blood stream.
    Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation? 
    Sickle Cell
    Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms? 
    Lack of Heme to bind with O2
    Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape? No]]>     2019-05-13 11:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joswoo543/wd57kg6muok0/wish/359420262     Platelets joswoo543 https://padlet.com/joswoo543/wd57kg6muok0/wish/359420263 Primary Function: Clotting]]> 2019-05-13 11:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joswoo543/wd57kg6muok0/wish/359420263 Indetify each type of Luekocyte in the diagram below (type the name above each cell.) joswoo543 https://padlet.com/joswoo543/wd57kg6muok0/wish/359420264 Neutrophil Eosinophil  Basophil Monocyte Lymphocyte]]> 2019-05-13 11:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joswoo543/wd57kg6muok0/wish/359420264 Granulocyte function joswoo543 https://padlet.com/joswoo543/wd57kg6muok0/wish/359420265 Which type of granulocyte would be found in inflamed sites of the body? 
    Basophils

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

    What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation? 
    Calls for more platelets to come and bind to the cite
    What is this process considered a positive feedback cycle?
