28
Erythrocyte function
Transports O2 and CO2 via Hb
29
Monocyte function
Phagocytosis (after transforming in to macrophage)
30
Lymphocyte function
mediates immune response
(B, T, and NK cells)
31
neutrophil function
phagocytosis
32
Eosinophil function
- allergic reactions
- defence against parasites
33
Basophil function
- Binds IgE
- releases histamine to intensify inflammatory response
34
Platelet function
- blood clotting
35
GI layers
- mucosa
- submucosa
- muscularis (propria)
- adventitia
36
GI mucosa layers
- epithelium

- muscularis mucosa
37
Blood vessel layers
- tunica intima
- tunica media
- tunica adventitia
38
tunica intima
endothelium and supporting tissue
39
tunica media
- smooth muscle for contraction
40
tunica adventitia
collagen for attachment and strength
41
size of tunica media significance
reflects blood pressure
- artery - thicker
- veins - thinner
42
