Question
Answer
Blood   classified as connective tissue; average of 5L of blood in the body; pH of the blood is kept at approximately 7.4 (alkaline)  
🗑
Erythrocytes   red blood cells; RBC's  
🗑
Platelets   cell fragments that are active in blood clotting  
🗑
Leukocytes   leuko-white; cytes-cells; white blood cells; WBC's; antibodies found here- mixed with WBC's  
🗑
Functions of the Blood   protection, transportation, regulation  
🗑
Erythrocytes   range from 4.5 to 5 million is normal in blood count  
🗑
Erythropoietin   hormone that stimulates the production of RBC's  
🗑
Hemoglobin   carries oxygen; female ranges for hemoglobin are (12-15g/100/ml); males are slightly higher 13-16 or 14-16 g/100/ml; (females are lower cause of menstrual cycle); doc's look at hemoglobin to be able to diagnose anemia; low hemoglobin  
🗑
Iron   found in hemoglobin; oxygen hitches a ride with hemoglobin  
🗑
Polycythemia   an increased or elevated amount of RBC's  
🗑
Hemolysis   rupture of RBC's (if they rupture, they're dead)  
🗑
Hematocrit   the volume percent of red blood cells in whole blood;  
🗑
Leukocytes   neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes,  
🗑
Neutrophils   account for the greatest number of WBC's; work for infection control  
🗑
Lymphocytes   produce antibodies which initiates the immune response; antibodies in the blood help to fight off infection  
🗑
Eosinophils   white blood cells that produce antibodies  
🗑
Monocytes   macrophages- when monocytes mature; another WBC  
🗑
Leukocytosis   elevated WBC's; often seen after a bacterial infection  
🗑
# of Leukocytes   average range is 5-10,000  
🗑
Phagocytosis   when neutrophils and monocytes engulf a pathogen  
🗑
Platelets   thrombocytes; clotting factors that are produced in the liver; clotting time is between 1-6 minutes  
🗑
Last Step in Clot Formation   fibrinogen being converted to fibrin  
🗑
Prothrombin   triggers the clotting mechanism  
🗑
Hemostasis   prevents the loss of blood from circulation when an injury occurs  
🗑
Blood Transfusion   changes in vital signs=problem; also pain or discomfort  
🗑
Water   main component in plasma (90%)  
🗑
Glucose   main carbohydrate in blood plasma that is required for energy; must have insulin for glucose to be used (open up cell)  
🗑
Antigen   on red blood cell membrane are proteins that cause transfusion reactions  
🗑
Type and Cross Match   right blood type for right patient  
🗑
S&S of Problem with Blood Transfusions   changes in vital signs, pain or discomfort, flushing, flank pain  
🗑
Flank Pain   one of the symptoms person can have with blood transfusion- immediately report it; can mean life and death  
🗑
Different Blood Types   A, B, AB, O  
🗑
O-   universal donor is; can be given to anyone;  
🗑
Blood Color   oxygen is the element responsible for blood's bright red color; deoxygenaed will be bluish  
🗑
A Receives   A and O  
🗑
B Receives   B and O  
🗑
AB Receives   A, B, AB, and O  
🗑
O Receives   O  
🗑
A Gives   A and AB  
🗑
B Gives   B and AB  
🗑
AB Gives   AB  
🗑
O Gives   A, B, AB, O  
🗑
Transfusion   transmission of blood from one person to another  
🗑
Rh factor   system found because of Rhesus monkeys; person who is Rh positive has a red cell antigen- group Rh; can't give Rh positive blood to Rh negativ epeople- causes a reaction in the blood- body tries to kill it- it is invader  
🗑
Antigens   A antigen=A blood, B antigen=B blood, AB antigens=AB blood; no antigen=O blood  
🗑
Albumin   the most abundant protein in plasma  
🗑
Serum   contains all the blood components but nothe clotting factors  
🗑
Blood cells   products that are found in the bone marrow  
🗑
Clotting factors   produced in the liver  
🗑
