Study Notes
Hemolysis
- Hemolysis refers to the rupture or bursting of red blood cells.
Fibrinogen
- Fibrinogen is a blood protein essential for the process of blood clotting.
White Blood Cells (Leukocytes)
- White blood cells (leukocytes) play a key role in protecting the body against infection and injury.
- Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, are not classified as white blood cells.
Phagocytosis
- Neutrophils are the leukocytes responsible for phagocytizing bacteria using lysosomal enzymes.
Formation of White Blood Cells
- Monocytes are formed in both the bone marrow and the spleen.
Red Blood Cell Count
- The typical red blood cell count for women is higher than the range of 10.0 to 15.0 million/ml.
Agranular White Blood Cells
- Agranular white blood cells lack a granular appearance under a microscope.
Production of White Blood Cells
- White blood cells are not exclusively manufactured in red bone marrow; they can originate from other sites as well.
Plasma Proteins and Osmotic Pressure
- Albumin is a plasma protein that helps to maintain osmotic pressure and blood volume.
