Cells that carry oxygen from lungs to the body.

Cells that protect the body from pathogens and infections.

Liquid component of blood that transports cells and nutrients.

Process that stops bleeding through clot formation.

A test to measure blood's ability to clot.

Condition where there are not enough red blood cells or hemoglobin.

Increase in white blood cell count, often due to infection.

Blood disorder in newborns due to Rh incompatibility.

Immunity gained through transfer from another source, like breast milk.

Blood functions include transportation, regulation, and protection.

An adult's total blood volume is approximately 5 liters, about 8% of body weight.

Blood is made up of red blood cells, plasma, and white blood cells in specific percentages.

Plasma constitutes approximately 54.3% of total blood volume.

Red blood cells account for about 45% of blood volume.

White blood cells make up about 0.7% of blood volume.

A respiratory pigment that binds oxygen and carbon dioxide in RBCs.

The production of red blood cells, primarily in the bone marrow.

A hormone that regulates the production of red blood cells.

A classification system for blood based on antigens A and B.

Inherited markers on RBCs that determine blood type.

Proteins in plasma that attack absent RBC antigens.

Biconcave disk shape, maximizing surface area for gas exchange.

A blood group system with at least 45 independent antigens, significant in transfusion medicine.

Five main Rh antigens: C, c, D, E, and e, with D being the most significant.

Blood type with the D antigen present, typically represented as A+, B+, AB+, or O+.

Blood type lacking the D antigen, represented as A-, B-, AB-, or O-.

Blood type O negative; has no antigens, minimizing transfusion reactions.

Blood type AB positive; has no antibodies, allowing receipt of any blood type.

Tests to ensure donor and recipient blood types are compatible to prevent reactions.

Tests that mix donor RBCs with recipient plasma to check compatibility before transfusion.

The process by which blood stem cells differentiate into various types of blood cells through myeloid and lymphoid lineages.

The most abundant type of WBC (60%), they attack and destroy bacteria using amoeboid movement and can digest several bacteria at once.

WBCs that make up 3% of the total; they combat parasites and play a role in allergic reactions.

WBCs (6% of total) that develop into macrophages, engulfing bacteria and increasing immune response.

WBCs (30%) produced in lymphatic tissues, vital to immune response; include T and B cells.

Type O- blood can be transfused to any blood type.

Type AB+ blood can receive any blood type during transfusions.

Type of white blood cells with visible granules; includes neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.

Type of white blood cells without visible granules; includes lymphocytes and monocytes.

Type of white blood cell that is involved in allergic reactions; they make up 1%.
