Erythrocytes: 7um
Red blood cells. Biconcave shape, small and flexible, no nucleus so packed with haemoglobin. Function: Transport O2 and CO2 in reversible reactions. Large surface area where gases diffuse quickly. Easily changes shape and squeezes through capillaries
1 of 10
Platelets
Small amounts of cytoplasm and membrane with no nucleus. Fragments of megakaryocte cells. Function: release blood clotting factors on damage.
2 of 10
Leucocyte
White blood cell involved in the body defence
3 of 10
Neutrophil: 9um
Type of leucocyte. Small granules in cytoplasm and lobed nucleus. Function: engulfs microbes by phagocytosis.
4 of 10
Lymphocytes: 5.5um
Type of leucocyte. Vert large nucleus and little cytoplasm. B lymphocytes: produce antibodies. T lymphocyte: destroy infected cells.
5 of 10
Monocytes: 13-20um
Type of leucocyte. Large cells with bean shipped nucleus. Function: become macrophages after 3 days in blood system.
6 of 10
Macrophages: 15-20um
Type of leucocyte. Large phagocytic cells in blood but also fixed to specific tissues e.g. lung and liver. Function" engulf microbes and foreign cells in tissue.
7 of 10
Magnification
size of structure in the picture / real size of the structure
8 of 10
Real size
size of structure in the picture/ magnification
9 of 10
Micrometre
on millionth of a metre and one thousandth of a centimetre. Always measure structure in mm to convert to micrometers by multiplying by 1000.
