Fx is to transfer respiratory gases, primarly oxygen.
How we get oxygen to the body, hemostasis, phagocytosis, and immune response to fight infection
embryic
During the _____ period blood formation in the yok sac starts to happen within the first few weeks of
gestation
second
Blood forms in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes in the_____ trimester and then in the last half of
gestation blood forms within the bone marrow.
Within that process we start to form erythrocytes, granulocytes, moncytes, and platelets.
This provides lymphocytes to the spleen and lymphatic tissues to the tissues and to the nodes.
Leukocytes
WBC are called ____ and are further broken into granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes.
plasma
Platelets are thrombocytes and then ____ maintains intravascular volume, It helps with coagulation
and helps with acid-based balance.
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW)
Variation in shape of RBC
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
measures the average volume or size of a single RBC
megaloblastic anemia
Juvenile pernicious anemia is seen in
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
Average concentration (color; pale [hyochromic pale cells] or dark)tg of hemoglobin per RBC.
4,000-17,000
Keeping in mind that every lab has their own values, White Blood Cells (WBC) are generally higher in
neonates. Therefore it is perfectly acceptable to see a WBC range of ____to____in a child 2mo to 6
years old (peaking around age 2). By 6 yo we start to see adult ranges of 4,500 to 10,500 (combination
of teacher's statment and statment from University of Rochester)

Seen on a CBC with differentials; first line of defense; increase indicative of infection, inflammation,
disease, damage and leukemia
, Decrease is indicative of viral condition, overwhelming infection that exhaust bone marrow.

BANDS (also known as STABS)
Neutrophils that are immature to normal range is 0 is called ____.
Above 6 is indicate of bandicemia (which is highly suggestive of a bacterial infection). First line of
defense for infection.
(Segs) Segmented Neutrophils
A mature neutrophil is called____ and it's normal range is 31%-57%. Hint you cannot have any
bandicemia without having this.
bacterial infection
Calculation of Immature:Total Neutrophil Count (I:T ratio) is bands over total neurtrophils (bands +
segs). If the math equation result is greater than 0.2 that means your child patient has a ____ ___
Used sometimes in attempting to Predict Early Onset Sepsis in Term and Late Preterm Newborns
CBC will remain helpful mainly when done at >4 hours from birth (statement from NIH research)
Monocytes
Seen on a CBC with differentials; second line of defense against infection; Normal range 4%-7%.
Elevation indicates chronic viral or bacterial infection
