FUNCTION
|
Blood transports to all areas of the body gases, nutrients, and wastes either attached to red blood cells or dissolved in the plasma. White blood cells fight infections and disease, and platelets initiate the blood clot.

ABO systems
|
In the ABo blood system there are two possible reb blood cell markers, A and B.
|
|
Type A
|
a person with an A marker. Type A blood produces anti-B antibodies that will attack type B blood.
|
|
Type B
|
a person with an B marker. Type B blood produces anti-A antibodies that will attack type A blood.
|
|
Type AB(Universal Recipient)
|
does not contain any antibodies.Therefore, type AB blood will not attack any other blood type.
|
|
Type O(Universal Donor)
|
contains no markers. Contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies for this reason type o can give blood to any type.
|

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
|
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
|
|
Complete Blood Count(CBC)
|
combination of blood test
|
|
Hematocrit(HCT, Hct, crit)
|
blood test to measure the volume of erythrocytes within the total volume of blood.
|
|
Hemoglobin(Hgb, hb)
|
a blood test to measure the amount of hemoglobin present in a given volume of blood.
|
|
Platelet Count
|
blood test to determine the number of platelets in a given volume of blood
|
|
Prothrombin Time(Pro time, PT)
|
a measure of the blood's coagulation abilities by measuring how long it takes for a clot to form after prothrombin has been activated.
|
|
Red blood cell count(RBC)
|
blood test to determine the number of erythrocytes in a volume of blood. A decrease in red blood cells may indicate anemia; an increase may indicate polycythemia.
|
|
Sequential mutiple analyzer computer(SMAC)
|
machine for doing multiple blood chemistry test automatically.
|
|
White blood cell count(WBC)
|
blood test to measure the number of leukocytes in a volume of blood. An increase may indicate the presence of infection or a disease such as Leukemia. A decrease in leukocytes may be caused by radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
|
|
Bone marrow aspiration
|
sample of bone marrow is removed by aspiration with a needle and examined for diseases such as leukemia or aplastic anemia
|
|
Phlebotomy
|
incision into a vein in order to remove blood cell for a diagnostic. Also called venipuncture
|
|
ESR, SR, sed rate
|
erythrocyte sedimentation rate
|

|
The Lymphatic and Immune Systems
|
|
FUNCTION
|
The lymphatic system consists of a network of lymph vessels that pick up excess tissue fluid, cleanse it, and return it to the circulatory system. It also picks up fats that have been absorbed by the digestive system. The immune system fights disease and infections.
