Blood Vocabulary Anatomy & Physiology Agglutination • Agglutination is the process where foreign cells are clumped by the antibody-antigen process. Agglutinogen • a substance (antigen) that stimulates the animal body to form agglutinating antibody Albumin • The most abundant blood protein. Important for maintaining osmotic pressure to keep water in the blood. Basophil • Basophils are the white blood cells that contain blue granules when stained with basic dye. The basophils aid in the inflammatory process during infection and tissue damage. Granules contain histime. Click to see a Basophil Coagulation • Coagulation is the process where blood clots. (RBC’s and blood proteins, such as fibrinogen, bind together). Eosinophil • Eosinophils are granular WBC’s that stain with the dye eosin. Cytotoxic response to parasitic worms. Involved in allergic reactions. Click to see a Eosinophil Erythropoietin • Erythropoietin is a protein produced by the kidney that that controls RBC formation in a negative feedback system. Click to see erythrocytes Fibrinogen • A blood protein that produces fibers during blood clotting. The fibers aid in the clot forming process. Globulin • Spherical blood proteins that carry fat soluble vitamins; includes the antibodies (immunoglobulins). Leukocyte • A leukocyte is a white blood cell; important in defending the body from foreign invaders. Click to see all the Leukocytes Lymophocyte • Lymphocytes are agranular WBC’s that are involved in antibody production and body defense from foreign invaders. Click to see a Lymphocytes Monocyte • An agranular WBC that becomes a macrophage when it leaves the blood and enters the tissues.Macrophages engulf bacteria, viruses, dead cell etc. Click to see a Monocyte Neutrophil • The most common WBC, destroys bacteria and removes the parts by phagocytosis. Click to see a Neutrophil Plasma • The liquid portion of the blood that contains proteins and other dissolved material. Platelet • Platelets are fragments of larger cells (Megakaryocytes).
