  2. Red bone marrow erythrocytes hemoglobin thrombocytes WBC/leukocytes Lymph nodes leukocytes TERMS

  3. LEUKOCYTES • Neutrophils-phagocytes • eosinophils-allergies/parasites • basophils-nonspecific--release histamine • Lymphocytes-synthesis of antibodies production of immunoglobins • Monocytes • Platelets

  4. DISEASES • Anemia • decrease amount of O2 • iron deficiency • more common • causes: chronic blood loss, diet, intestinal parasite, pregnancy • Hemolytic (hereditary) • thalassemia • sickle cell • spherocytosis

  5. RADIOGRAPHIC FINDINGSLEUKEMIA • Patchy, lytic, moth-eaten appearance of bone • Mediastinal enlargement/hilar lymph nodes • splenomegaly

  6. LYMPHOMA • All are malignant • Hodgkins • Non-Hodgkins • RADIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS • Mediastinal enlargement • interstitial lung markings-prominence • masses in stomachs • ivory vertebra • gastric folds-distorted/thickening

  7. ENDOCRINE Secrete hormones

  8. GLANDS • Pituitary • adrenal • thyroid • parathyroid • pancreas • islet of Langerhans
