3.1 Key Terms

Anemia Blood Plasma Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells)

A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume.

The pale yellow fluid portion of whole blood that consists of water and its dissolved constituents including, sugars, lipids, metabolic waste products, amino acids, hormones, and vitamins.

Any of the hemoglobin-containing cells that carry oxygen to the tissues and are responsible for the red color of vertebrate blood.

Hematocrit

The percent of the volume of whole blood that is composed of red blood cells as determined by separation of red blood cells from the plasma usually by centrifugation.

Leukocytes (White Blood Cells)

Any of the blood cells that are colorless, lack hemoglobin, contain a nucleus, and include the lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.

Sickle Cell Disease

Individuals who are homozygous for the gene controlling hemoglobin S. The disease is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells and by episodic blocking of blood vessels by the adherence of sickle cells to the vascular endothelium.

Thrombocytes (Platelets)

A minute colorless anucleate disklike body of mammalian blood that assists in blood clotting by adhering to other platelets and to damaged epithelium.

Essential Questions for 3.1.2

5. How does sickle cell disease affect daily life?

Activity Objectives – 3.1.2.

1. Write diary entries for an assigned sickle cell patient

3.1.2. Conclusion Question

1. Based on what you know about blood, why would having a sickle cell anemia crisis result in a reduced red blood cell count, an elevated white blood cell count, and a reduced hematocrit?

2. Based on what you learned in the previous activity, why did having sickled red blood cells lead to the symptoms documented in Anna’s medical history when she was 14 months old?

3. Describe three ways daily life is affected for those who have sickle cell anemia.

4. Describe at least five symptoms of a sickle cell crisis.

5. Describe the pros and cons of the treatments used for each of the sickle cell anemia patients investigated in this activity.

Due Mon, 01-28 (end of period)
