The leukocyte pictured above stains intensely with acidic dyes such as eosin. Which of the following
substances is contained in the crystalline core of the granule at the arrow?
A. Lactoferrin
B. Major basic protein
C. Myeloperoxidase
D. Histamine
E. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase
The function of red blood cells is to
Select one:
A. defend the body against infectious organisms.
B. carry oxygen from the cells to the lungs.
C. carry carbon dioxide from the lungs to the body's cells.
D. carry oxygen to the cells and then carry away carbon dioxide.
E. carry nutrients from the digestive system to the body's cells.
IV.
The Formation of Red Blood Cells
The body must constantly produce new red blood cells to maintain homeostasis.
Demonstrate your understanding of the life cycle of red blood cells by placing the following events
in the proper sequence.
A. An immature form of an erythrocyte, called a reticulocyte, is released into the circulation.
B. EPO stimulates stem cells in red bone marrow to begin creating new erythrocytes.
_C. After one to two days, the reticulocyte becomes a mature erythrocyte.
_D. The kidneys detect the declining levels of oxygen and respond by secreting a hormone
called erythropoietin (EPO).
E. As the number of RBCS increases, oxygen levels rise. Less EPO is produced, and RBC
production declines.
F. As damaged RBCS are removed from circulation, oxygen levels fall.
