Question
Answer
What %-age of the blood is plasma and what are it's components?   55% of total blood volume. Consistes of water, proteins, nutrients, hormones, electrolytes  
🗑
What %-age of blood is the buffy coat and what are it's components?   1%. Consistes of WBC's and plts  
🗑
What %age of the blood is RBC's?   ~45% of blood volume  
🗑
What important O2 carrying molecule is contained within each RBC?   Hemoglobin  
🗑
Role of RBC's   Transport O2 to peripheral tissues & organsCarry CO2 to lungs as a waste product to be exhaled  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   formation fo blood cells (production of cells all cells)  
🗑
Life span of RBC   120 days  
🗑
Life span of WBC   6-8 hours  
🗑
Life span of platelet   7-10 days  
🗑
Does production of cells increase, decrease, or stay the same during stress?   increase. Increased production to meet demand (altitude, illness, exercise, bleeding) Bone marrow ramps up production to keep up with destruction/loss  
🗑
Erythropoiesis   production of RBCs  
🗑
Requirements of erythropoiesis   rythropoietin stimulation of a healthy bone marrowAdequate supply of iron  
🗑
Where is Erythropoietin produced?   Peritubular interstitial cells of the kidney  
🗑
What triggers the production of Erythropoietin?   Low O2 delivery (hypoxia)  
🗑
Name the cells in the BM that Erythropoietin acts on   E-progenitor, start the production of new RBCs  
🗑
When does the kidney stop releasing Erythropoeitin   When it senses increased tissue oxygenation  
🗑
How are old damaged RBCs removed from circulation?   90% by macrophages in the liver and spleen, 10% by hemolysis in circulation; fragments engulfed by macrophages  
🗑
What components of the RBC are used again?   Globin, heme, and iron  
🗑
What signifies anemia?   Decrease in Hgb or Hct concentration  
🗑
Normal Hbg in females?   >12.5g/dl  
🗑
Normal Hgb in males   >13.5 g/dl  
🗑
Functional classification of anemia   Production problem or destruction problem  
🗑
How is distiction made between production vs destruction   Examining reticulocyte count  
🗑
Normal %age of reticulocytes in circulation   1-2%  
🗑
Hypoproliferative anemia   production problem (90% of anemias)  
🗑
In Hypoproliferative anemia will reticulocyte count be increase, decreased, or stay the same? Explain why   Reticulocyte count will be decrease (low). Bone marrow fails to respond to degree of anemia  
🗑
What can attribute to a BM production problem   Marrow damage, Iron defeciency (need iron to make RBCs), Decreased stimulation (lack of Epo -inflammation, renal dz)  
🗑
What change will you see in reticulocytes in hyperproliferative anemia?   increased retic count  
🗑
What is hyperproliferative Anemia?   Failure of bone marrow to compensate for blood loss or destriuction with increased RBC production  
🗑
Give some examples of condictions thatcause hyoerproliferative anemia   Acute blood loss, intravascular hemolysis, membrane abnomality, hemoglobinopathy, autoimmune defect  
🗑
Name the 3 morphologic classifications of MCV   Microctic, normocytic, macrocytic  
🗑
"TICS" for microcytic anemia   ThalassemiaIron def anemiaChronic InflammationSideroblastic  
🗑
Thalassemia   Hereditary disorders which affect the production of globin chains (alpha or beta)  
🗑
