The ability of a membrane to allow substances to pass through it.

Bicarbonate, a key component in pH buffering in the blood.

A process that resists changes in pH levels of a solution.

The maintenance of salt and water balance in the body.

A protein produced by the liver that regulates osmotic pressure and carries molecules in the blood.

Red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body.

The unique shape of RBCs that increases surface area for gas exchange.

Refers to cells, like RBCs, that do not have a nucleus.

Blood consists of plasma and formed elements.

Plasma accounts for 55% of total blood volume.

Includes erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.

RBCs transport oxygen throughout the body.

WBCs protect the body against infections.

Platelets help in blood clotting to stop bleeding.

Blood is sticky, opaque, and slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.35-7.45.

Plasma is 90% water, contains nutrients, waste, gases, hormones, and proteins.

An inflammatory chemical that makes blood vessels leaky and attracts white blood cells.

Type of white blood cells that lack visible granules and have varied shaped nuclei.

Largest type of white blood cells that turn into macrophages in tissues and fight chronic infections.

White blood cells with large nuclei; B cells produce antibodies, while T cells attack infected cells directly.

Order of white blood cells in blood: Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils.

A hormone that accelerates the production of platelets in the body.

A procedure where a needle withdraws red marrow for microscopic examination.

The process of stopping bleeding through vascular spasm, platelet plug, and coagulation.

A sudden constriction of a blood vessel to reduce blood flow.

The process in which platelets become sticky and form a plug at a damaged site.

No A or B antigens in RBCs, contains anti-A & anti-B antibodies in plasma.

When antibodies bind to antigens on RBCs causing clumping and potential hemolysis.

Determines presence (Rh+) or absence (Rh-) of Rh antigen on RBCs and corresponding antibodies in plasma.

Occurs when Rh- person receives Rh+ blood, leading to antibody production but no initial hemolysis.

Second exposure to Rh+ blood in Rh- person causes rapid antibody production and hemolysis.

A protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen and small amounts of CO2.

Normal hemoglobin levels: Female = 12-16 g/dL, Male = 13-18 g/dL.

A genetic disorder caused by a change in one amino acid, leading to abnormally shaped hemoglobin.

An excessive increase in the number of erythrocytes which can impair circulation.

White blood cells that defend the body against infections and diseases.

The most numerous type of leukocytes, active in fighting bacterial and fungal infections.

Leukocytes divided into two categories: Granulocytes contain granules, while Agranulocytes do not.
