To view (under a microscope) biopsy (viewing living things) 5 types of leukocytes: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils. Considered granulocytes because of the granules in their cytoplasm. Found in the first response against bacteria: mononuclear leukocytes (agranulocytes) Phagocytes: phago= engulf, cyte= cell: (cid:862)gar(cid:271)age (cid:272)olle(cid:272)tors(cid:863): (cid:272)lea(cid:374) up after immune response. Fragments of cells found in bone marrow. Formed from budding off megakaryocytes (large cells) Required for clotting: hernia: protrusion of an organ through the cavity that normally contains it. Withdrawal of fluid that surrounds the embryo for culture and karyotyping: streptococcus and staphylococcus. Talking about a deficiency in part of the blood. Sickle cell anemia: abnormal condition of hemoglobin, gives rbcs a sickle shape. Iron deficiency anemia: lack of sufficient iron in the blood.
