All About Blood
Unit 1 Case Study 1: Tell me about blood.

1. Lower than normal Hematocrit indicates Anemia. Hematocrit does not have enough Hemoglobin which is an oxygen carrying protein in red blood cells that results in having Iron, B12 and Folic Acid deficiencies. The main causes of developing Anemia include: medications and pregnancy, but the more serious causes include: kidney disease and cancer of the kidney, also leukemia and lymphoma.
A bacterial infection on the Hematocrit can cause the white blood cell count to raise but lower Hematocrit.
2. Lymphocytes and other formed elements develop from Pluripotent cells. Pluripotent stem cells generate Myeloid and lymphoid stem cells. The Myeloid stem cells starts and completes development in red bone marrow and raises red blood cells, Platelets Eosinophils, Basophils, Neutrophils and Monocytes. The Lymphoid stem cells develop in red bone marrow but complete in the Lymphocytes tissue.
3. Erythropoiesis is the production of red blood cells or Erythrocytes. It slows down when there is a decrees in oxygen carrying capacity of blood but speeds up when oxygen is delivered to the kidneys and other tissue foils.
4. If a person with type B where to receive Type O blood there would be no negative effects because Type O blood is universal.
5. A: The WBC that has a round nucleus surrounded by a blue halo of cytoplasm with no visible granules is called Lymphocytes. B: the WBA that contains dense blue-purple granules that hides the nucleus is Basophils. C: the WBC that has a U-shaped nucleus and a bluish, foamy cytoplasm with no visible granules is Monocytes. D: the WBC that contains small, pale lilac granules and a four-lobed nucleus is Neutrocytes. E: the WBC that contains red-orange granules and a two-lobed nucleus is Eosinophils.
6. White blood cells protect against diseases. Leukocytosis is an increase in the number of WBC, it is also a normal protective response to stress and that will lead to a high Eosinophil count that
