| How does lymph differ from plasma? |
|
Definition
| Plasma is fluid portion of whole blood and carries substance like nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to bathe the cells and tissues. Lymph comes from plasma but is made up of more water, sugar, and electrolytes and is less large than the proteins found in plasma. |

Term
| What is the difference between red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow? |
|
Definition
| Hematopoiesis happens in red bone marrow throughout maturation of the fetus because of the need for blood cells during growth and development. When production slows some of the red bone marrow becomes less active and turns into yellow which is mainly adipose connective tissue. Yellow bone marrow isn't active in the hematopoiesis but can reactive if needed. |

Term
| Where does bilirubin come from? How is it eliminated from body? |
|
Definition
| When extravascular hemolysis occurs red blood cells are broken down into amino acids, iron, and heme. Heme is further broken down into bilirubin. Eliminated by body in stercobilin and urobilin. |
