Blood!

UCI SOM Smith

QuestionAnswer
What’s in blood formed elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets), plasma
% of blood 45-50 erythrocytes, 1% leukocytes, the rest is plasma
plasma proteins albumin, globulins (alpha, beta, gamma), clotting proteins (fibrinogen, prothrombin, etc.), complement proteins (C1-C9), plasma lipoproteins (chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL)
erythrocytes 7.5 micrometers, anucleate, 120 day lifespan, removed by macrophages in spleen, bone marrow and liver
reticulocytes 1-2% of RBC’s; contain residual ribosomes and other organelles; lower concentration of Hb
Hb + O2 oxyhemoglobin
Hb + CO2 carbaminohemoglobin
Hb + CO carboxyhemoglobin
Anemia hypochromic anemia (iron deficiency) and normochromic anemia (sicke cell; hereditary spherocytosis
Polycythemia erythrocytosis
2 types of Leucocytes granulocytes and agranulocytes
granulocytes neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil
agranulocytes monocyte, lymphoctye
% of WBC’s neutrophil 60-70%; eosinophil 2-4%; basophil <1%; lymphocyte 20-25%; monocyte 3-8%
3 types of granuloctye granules azurophilic (=primary; in lysosome), specific (=secondary, secreted), tertiary
what are the azurophilic granules are and in what are they found found in neutrophils; hydrolases, lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, collagenase, cathepsin, bactericidal (permeability-increasing protein), elastase
Where are specific granules found and what are they neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Specific neutrophil granules alkaline phosphatase, collagenase, lactoferrin, lysozyme
Specific eosinophil granules major basic protein, acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, beta-glucoronidase, cathepsin, phospholipase, RNase, eosinophilic peroxidase
Specific basophil granules Eosinophil chemotactic factor, neutrophil chemotactic factor, heparin, histamine, peroxidase
Where are tertiary granules found and what are they found in neutrophils: gelatinase, cathepsin, glycoproteins
neutrophil 60-70% of leukocytes, 12-15 micrometers; multilobed segmented nucleus; phagocytose microorganisms; barr body/drumstick appendage
band/stab cell imature neutrophil who’s nucleus hasn’t mutlilobed
eosinophils 2-4% of circulating leukocytes, 12-15 micrometers; bilobed nucleus; coarse eosinophilic granules; major basic protein in eosinophilic granules kills parasitic worms
basophil 1% of leukocytes; 12-15 microns; multilobed nucleus; conspicuous basophilic granules contain heparin and histamine; mediate inflammatory responses similar to mast cells; anaphylaxis in hypersensitive individuals
monocytes 3-8% of leukocytes; 12-20 microns; oval, horseshoe, or kidney shaped nucleus, basophilic cytoplasm, precursor cells of the MPS that differentiate into CT macrophages
lymphocytes 20-25% of leukocytes; small 6-8 microns, large 12-18 microns; round or slightly indented dense nucleus rich in heterochromatin; basophilic cytoplasm; 3 fxnl categories (B, T, Null)
Can you tell the difference among B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and null cells NO
B lymphocytes humural immunity; plasma cells
T lymphocytes cytotoxic (killer); helper; suppressor
Null cells circulating stem cells; natural killer (NK) cells
Platelets/thrombocytes 2-4microns; hyalomer-clear peripheral region; granulomere- darkly stained central body; function in blood coagulation
Components in platelets alpha granules (fibrinogen and PDGF), delta granules (=dense bodies;serotonin and ADP), lambda granules (=lysosomes; acid hydrolases), dense tubular system involved in Ca2+ sequestration
Serotinin causes smooth muscle around blood vessel to contract

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.
