20079163constituents of plasma: electrolytesmembrane excitability; osmotic distribution of fluid between ECF/ICF; buffer pH changes274
20079164constituents of plasma: nutrients, wastes, gases, hormonestransported in blood; blood gas CO2 plays role in acid-base balance275
20079165constituents of plasma: plasma proteinsin general, exert an osmotic effect important in distribution of ECF and betweeni vascular and interstitial compartments; buffer pH changes276
20079166constituents of plasma: albuminstransport many substances; contribute most to colloid osmotic pressure277
20079167constituents of plasma:alpha/beta globulinstransport many water-insoluble substances; clotting factors; inactive precursor molecules278

20079170leukocyteswbcs; mobile units of body immune defense system281
20079171immune systemmade up of leukocytes, their derivatives, and variety of plasma proteins; recognize and destory or neturalize materials within body that are foregin to normal self; functions: defense against invading pathogens, identification/destroy cancer cells; cleanup crew that remove worn out cells and tissue debris282
20079172leukocytes lackhemoglobin283

20079176neutrophilsgranules are neutral and show no dye preference287
20079177eosinophilsgranules affinity for red dye eosin288
20079178basophilsgranules for basic blue dye289
20079179mononuclear agranulocytessingle nucleus; cells lacking nucleus; cells lacking granules290
20079180mononuclear agranulocytesoval or kidney shaped nucleus291
20079181lymphocytessmallest of the leukocyes; large spherical nucleus that occupies most of the cell292
20079182hematopoiesisformation and development of red and white blood cells from stem cells. Occur in bone marrow.293
20079183hematopoetic stem cellspluripotent; generate eryhtocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, mast cells, lympocytes, and megarkaryocytes294
20079184nonhemapoteic cells in the bone marrow known as...stromal cells; support growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells295
20079185How does stromal cells influence differentiationby providing a microenvironment consisting of a cellular matrix and either membrane-bound or diffusible cytokines(growth factors)296
