Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Function of Blood   Transportation, Regulation, Protection  
🗑
Functions of Transportation   02 nutrients to cells; wastes from cells to lungs, liver and kidnesy for excretion; heat away from cells; hormones  
🗑
Functions of Regulation   pH through buffers; temperature through heat-absorbing & coolant properties of its H2O content and variable rate of flow through skin; water content of cells through dissolved ions and proteins (osmotic pressure)  
🗑
Functions of Protection   Blood loss; foreign microbes & toxins  
🗑
Average pH of blood   7.4  
🗑
Blood composition   45% formed elements & 55% plasma  
🗑
Blood characteristics   5 times more viscous & slightly heaver than H2O; temperature normally 38C; about 8% of total body weight  
🗑
Ways for withdrawing blood   Venipuncture; figner stick & arterial stick  
🗑
Venipuncture   Withdraw blood from vein  
🗑
Finger stick   A drop or two of blood is removed from a finger, ear lobe or heel of foot  
🗑
Arterial stick   Sample of blood taken from the radial artery (wrist) or femoral artery (groin)  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   Formation of blood cells  
🗑
5 cell types that develop from hemoctyoblasts   Proerythoblasts, Myeloblasts, Monoblasts, Lymphoblasts & Megakaryoblasts  
🗑
Proerythoblasts   Form erythrocytes  
🗑
Myeloblasts   Form neutrophils, eosinophils & basophils  
🗑
Monoblasts   Form monocytes  
🗑
Lymphoblasts   Form lymphocytes  
🗑
Megakaryoblasts   Form thrombocytes  
🗑
Erythrocytes   Biconcave discs; 8mm in diameter; lack nuclei & cannot reproduce themselves; hB is 33% of cell weight  
🗑
Erythropoiesis   Formation of RBC's only  
🗑
Stages in development of RBC's   Hemocytoblast -> erythroblast -> reticulocte -> RBC  
🗑
Sickle cell anemia   abnormal Hb molecule. Cells become sickle shaped when exposed to low oxygen concentration, block up tissues and organs.  
🗑
Types of Anemia   Sickle cell, Hemorrhagic, Aplastic, Hypochromic; Hemolytic  
🗑
Hemorrhagic   Due to loss of blood  
🗑
Aplastic   Due to a defect in the red bone marrow resulting in a decrease in the production of RBC's  
🗑
Hypochromic   RBC's are light colored because of decreased hemoglobin  
🗑
Hemolytic   Rapid destruction of RBC's  
🗑
Polycythemia   Abnormally high number of RBC's that increased the viscosity of th eblood, causing it to flow sluggishly.  
🗑
Blood doping   Artificially induced polycythemia  
🗑
How blood doping occurs   RBC's drawn off; Erythropoietin mechanism is triggered, quickly replacing lost RBC's; shortly before event, the stored RBC's is reinfused resulting in a temporary polycythemia; increased oxygen carrying capacity should result in greater endurance  
🗑
Leukocytes   Transported by circulatory system but perform most of their work outside it. Leave blood vessels by diapedesis  
🗑
Granulocytes   WBC's that have obvious granuels in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils, Eosinophils & Basophils  
🗑
Neutrophils   54-62% of WBC's. Cytoplasm contains pink granules. Nucleus is 2-5 lobed  
🗑
Eoxinophils   1-3% of WBC's. Cytoplasm contains red granules. Nucleus is bilobed.  
🗑
Basophiles   Less than 1%. of WBC's. Cytoplasmic granules stain dark blue.  
🗑
Granules contain:   Histamine & Heparin  
🗑
Histamine   Causes increased vasodilation and increased vascular permeability  
🗑
Heparin   Anticoagulant  
🗑
Agranulocytes   cytoplasm lacks conspicuous granules. Lymphocytes & Monocytes  
🗑
Lymphocytes   20-25% of WBC's Large round nucleus with little cytoplasm  
🗑
Monocytes   3-9% of WBC's. Larges of all WBC's. Bean shaped nucleus  
🗑
Leukocytosis   WBC count > 10,000: indicates acute infection  
🗑
Leukopenia   WBC count < 5,000; Seen in viral infections, flue, chicken pox, measles, & polio  
🗑
Differential WBC Count   look at relative of WBC's  
🗑
Plasma   Liquid portion of blood. Is 92% water with dissolved electrolytes/molecule  
🗑
Functions of plasma   Transports nutrients & wastes; regulates fluid & electrolyte balance and regulation of pH  
🗑
Three types of plasma proteins   Albumin, Globulins & Fibrinogen  
🗑
Albumin   60% of plasma proteins. Made in liver, function to maintain osmotic pressure, regulates water balance between blood & tissues.  
🗑
Globulins   36% of plasma proteins. Alpha & beta - made in liver; transports lipids & fat soluble substances through blood. Gamma - antibodies, made by the lymphatic system  
🗑
Fibrinogen   4% of plasma proteins. Functions in clotting  
🗑
Inflammation   Localized response to trauma, heat, infections and chemicals. Occurs mainly in the CT  
🗑
Funcitons of inflammation   Prevent spread of infections; destroy foreign substances & promote healing  
🗑
Thrombus   A blood clot which forms in a vessel abnormally  
🗑
Embolus   A clot or a piece of a clot which is moving through the blood.  
🗑
Hemophilia   Hereditary - Males affected primarily. Several types, but all involve the absence of a clotting factor in the blood  
🗑
Hematocrit   % of blood cells in a volume of blood  
🗑
Hemoglobing (Hb)   the protein part of RBC's which contains Fe and is the molecule which carries oxygen  
🗑
Clotting time   Time required for a blood to clot after it is removed from the body (3-8 minutes)  
🗑
Bleeding time   Time for a small, sharp incision to stop bleeding (1-3 minutes)  
🗑
Complete Blood Count (CBC)   Test where all of the following are looked at: HCT, Hb, RBC, WBC, differential WBC  
🗑
Agglutination   The clumping of RBC;s following a transfusion  
🗑
Agglutinogens   Antigens in RBC membranes  
🗑
Agglutinins   Antibodies dissolved in the plasma  
🗑
Blood typing   Involves identifying the agglutinogens that are present on a person's RBC's  
🗑
Blood Type A   Protein: A; Antibodies: B; Transfusions: A & O  
🗑
Blood Type B   Protein: B; Antibodies: A; Transfusions: B & O  
🗑
Blood Type AB   Protein: A & B; Antibodies: Neither A or B; Transfusions: A, B, AB & O  
🗑
Blood Type O   Protein: Neither A or B; Antibodies: Both A & B; Transfusions: Only O  
🗑
