Vascular System Review

What is the function of a thrombocyte (platelet)?

• Functions in transport and gas exchange

• As a first responder, it works by phagocytosis but can also release toxic substances from its granules in order to lyse pathogenic cells

• Plays a major role in allergic response by producing histamine; also produces heparin to control blood clotting

• Helps the blood clotting process by gathering at the site of an injury, sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel, and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur

• Produces antibodies, which target specific pathogens by binding to the antigens presented on their surfaces

What is the function of a basophil?

• Plays a major role in allergic response by producing histamine; also produces heparin to control blood clotting

• Functions specifically to combat parasitic infection, they also help to promote inflammation and play a role in allergic reactions

• One of the first responders in the immune system, it phagocytoses pathogens and may present the phagocytosed antigens to other immune cells

• Helps the blood clotting process by gathering at the site of an injury, sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel, and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur

• Functions in transport and gas exchange

This cell type functions specifically to combat parasitic infections but also helps to promote inflammation and plays a role in allergic reactions

• Basophil

• T lymphocyte

• Eosinophil
