Blood
Across
- 3. 60% of whole blood
- 4. segmented nucleus, pale-staining cytoplasm, 12μm diameter
- 8. segmented nucleus; red granules in cytoplasm; in birds
- 9. nucleated platelets; avian/reptilian/amphibian/fish
- 11. sickled-shaped cells that form after O2 exposure
- 13. rare to find in healthy animals, approx. 15μm; purple/blue granules; contain histamine
- 14. 8% of plasma
- 15. differentiate into macrophages; antigen presentation to t-lymphocytes; iron storage and recycling; often large and vacuolated
- 19. function: inflammation & immune response
- 20. different colored RBC due to excessive stain
- 21. neutrophils/heterophils, eosinophils, basophils
- 22. monocytes and lymphocytes
- 23. 90% of plasma
Down
- 1. shape of RBCs
- 2. neutrophil nucleus before it becomes segmented
- 5. dense chromatin nucleus, trace amount of cytoplasm; b-cells, plasma cells, t-cells; lifespan days to years
- 6. X00,000; life spans: week
- 7. segmented nucleus, pale cytoplasm, pink granules, anti-parasitic
- 10. fully differentiated B-cells; large; clock-shaped nucleus (clumped chromatin), tear-drop shaped cell; clear Golgi zone
- 12. X,000,000; life spans: months
- 16. 40% of whole blood
- 17. X,000; life spans: hours-days or years
- 18. second most numerous blood cell; clotting; role in primary inflammatory response; no nucleus; red/purple granules
