Answer |
| What is Plasma composed of? | 1. Water; 2. cell Nutrients; 3. cell Wastes; 4. blood Proteins; 5. Electrolytes; 6. Hormones; 7. O2 & CO2 |
| Which Cell Nutrients are found in Plasma? | Glucose, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids |
| Which Cell Waste products are found in Plasma? | Urea (from Protein), Creatinine (from Creatine) |
| What Blood Proteins are found in Plasma? | 60% Albumin, 35% Globulins, 4% Fibrinogen |
| What are the 3 types of Globulins? | Alpha, Beta, Gamma Globulins |
| What are Alpha Globulins and what are their function? | HIGH-density Lipoproteins (HDL) - some clotting factors - transport Cholesterol --> Liver --> Excretion |
| What are Beta Globulins and what are their function? | LOW-density Lipoproteins (LDL) - transport Cholesterol --> tissues for use |
| What is the function of Gamma Globulins? | comprise Antibodies |
| What is the function and starting location of Fibrinogen? | CLOTTING factor from the Liver |
| What is the definition of Serum? | Plasma without Fibrinogen |
| What Electrolytes are found in Plasma? | Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, HCO3- |
| What is the funciton of HCO3- in Plasma? | NEUTRALIZE acidity - buffer |
| What would be the result of too much Beta Globulin? | transport Cholesterol --> outer tissues --> Arteries --> Atherosclerosis |
