- 26. breakdown of red blood cells
- 29. a cell that has the ability to ingest particles
- 32. A group of leukocytes without granules in their nuclei; lymphocytes, monocytes.
- 35. antibodies
- 36. Amoeboid cells that roam connective tissue and engulf foreign particles and debris of dead cells.
- 37. Cells manufactured in the bone marrow that create antibodies for isolating and destroying invading bacteria and viruses.
- 40. protein
- 41. an orange-yellow pigment formed in the liver by the breakdown of hemoglobin and excreted in bile.
- 46. a deficiency of red blood cells
- 47. White blood cells involved in immune response.
- 49. iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen for delivery to cells
- 50. a cell fragment that plays an important part in forming blood clots
- 51. clumping of red blood cells
- 52. inhibit allergic reactions of inflammation, redness, and itching caused by the release of histamine
- 53. antimicrobial peptides that inhibit microbial growth
- 54. A protein that acts against a specific antigen

- 1. Migration from a location
- 2. production of blood cells
- 3. 1st hemostasis step:blood vessel contracts;membrane becomes sticky & hormones released
- 4. A protein that, when introduced in the blood, triggers the production of an antibody

- 17. 2nd hemostasis step:platelets adhere to vessel andplatelets aggregate together forming a platelet plug
- 18. Cells that develop from B cells and produce antibodies.
- 21. guides WBCs to invading pathogens, damaged tissues, and other active WBCs
- 22. A type of white blood cell that can kill tumor cells and virus-infected cells; an important component of innate immunity.
