physiology 3/23

blood/lymph 3/23

QuestionAnswer
O2/CO2, nutrients/wastes, hormones, enzymes, electrolytes are transport functions of blood
2 regulatory functions of blood are regulation of body temp and cellular water content
2 protective functions of blood protection against fluid loss (clotting) and toxins/microbes (immune system)
blood cell formation is called hematopoiesis
4 components of blood erythrocytes, plasma,leukocytes, and thrombocytes
function of __ is transport of blood gases erythrocytes
total of = 25 trillion and live for 120 days erythrocytes
biconcave discs, no nucleus and contains hemoglobin erythrocytes
production rate of 2 million/sec RBC
RBC producion is called erythropoiesis
RBC production is = to RBC destruction
a condition which there is a reduced O2 carrying ability of the blood anemia
low # of functional RBC an/or low hemoglobin content inside existing RBC causes anemia
__anemia is from the destruction/ inhibition of the red bone marrow Aplastic anemia
__anemia from the inability to produce intrinsic factor (absorption of Vit B12) Pernicious anemia
__anemia from an inadequate diet (need amino acids, iron, Vit B12) nutritional anemia
abnormally high # of RBC increasing the viscosity of blood causing sluggish flow Polycythemia
hematocrit of 80% or more is called polycythemia
increase in blood volume and RBC from hyperactivity of bone marrow (cause by marrow cancer) Polycythemia vera
increase in the # of RBC as a result of loss of fluid portion of the blood (dehydration, burn, shock) Relative polycythemia
chronic hypoxia triggers excess RBC production (high altitude) Secondary polycythemia
5 morphological types of Leukocytes grouped by granular or agranular
__ are nucleated with no hemoglobin Leukocytes
total ___=4500-11000/mm3 blood WBC
fight infection via the inflammatory response is a function of leukocytes
endocytosis of microbes/debris and destruction Phagocytosis
ability to crawl through spaces in vascular endothelial tissue (amoeboid movement) Diapendesis
the ability to respond to chemicals released from an injured area chemotaxis
__ are composed of fragments of cytoplasm and organelles enclosed by a cell membrane thrombocytes
__ are equipped with cytosolic enzyme systems for engergy metabolism and synthesis of secretory products thrombocytes
__ contain actin and myosin which allows tightening of a clot (retraction) thrombocytes
function of ___ is to prevent fluid loss by initiating a chain of reactions which create a platelet plug and or a blood clot thrombocytes
refers to the processes leading to the stoppage of bleeding hemostasis
3 basic mechanisms of hemostasis vascular spasm, the formation of platelet plug and coagulation
when smooth muscle contracts and reduces blood loss for up to 30 min is called vascular spasm
__ is initiated by both damage to the vessel wall and sympathetic response to pain vascular spasm
process by which a damaged vessel wall releases chemicals that cause platelets to adhere to one another and to the injured site platelet plug formation
__ is a set of chemical casacde reasctions that produce a web of fibrin around an existing platelet plug coagulation (clotting)
intrinsic and extrinsic pathways differ in stage I in which ___ is produced prothrombin activator
prothrombin activator is composed of active factor 10, factor 5 and specific phospholipids
____ may be found in blood plasma or released by damaged tissue and or platelets specific coagulation factors
a collection of cofactors and enzymes needed for the clotting reactions coagulation factors
___ acticate each other resulting in cascade reaction that include + feedback cucles coagulation factors
the consolidation or tightening of a fibrin clot to draw the wound surfaces together retraction (syneresis)
__ a prossess when threads attached to the damaged surfaces of the blood vessel contract retraction (syneresis)
during the processs of ___ ruptured area becomes smaller allowing only the serum to escape retraction (syneresis)
__ involves dissolution of the blood clot fibrinolysis
__ collects excess protein containing interstitial cluid and returns it to the blood lymph system
___ can function of transport of fats from digestive tract to the blood lymph system
___ function of production and circulation of lymphocytes lymph system
___ filters/concentrates antigens lymph system
following lymphocyte activation ___ circulates lymphocyte effector cells and their associated components lymph system

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
