Question
Answer
Composition of Blood   PLASMA-water, proteins, & other solutes. 55%. FORMED ELEMENTS-Buffy Coat. Leukocytes & thrombocytes. <1%. Erethrocytes-(RBCs) 44%.  
🗑
Hematocrit   % of blood volume made of RBCs. Can vary w/ hormone changes and altitude. Males: 42-56%. Females: 38-46%.  
🗑
Blood Doping   Athlete donates RBCs to himself. Removed and stored. Body replaces lost. Injected back in increasing hematocrit. Can also be done w/ Erythropoietin (EPO) increases RBC production. Dangerous.  
🗑
Functions of Blood   TRANSPORTATION: O2 & CO2-RBCs. Nutrients, hormones, & waste-Plasma. REGULATION: Absorbs & distributes heat-Plas. Constrict/dilate-vessels. Regulates pH & fluid levels. PROTECTION: infection-WBCs. Transports antibodies-Plas. Forms blood clots-Platelets.  
🗑
Blood Plasma   Mixture of water, proteins, & solutes. Serum is plasma w/o the clotting proteins (fibrinogen). Water makes up 92% of plasma volume. Facilitates trasport of materials in the plasma.  
🗑
Plasma Proteins   7%. Albumins, Globulins, Fibrinogen, Regulatory proteins.  
🗑
Albumins   Most abundant plasma protein. Regulate osmosis between blood & interstitial fluid. Transport proteins & lipids. Keeps blood in blood vessels.  
🗑
Globulins   Binds, supports, & protects water-insoluble hormones & ions. Antibodies (gamma globulins).  
🗑
Fibrinogen   Converts into fibrin. Blood clot formation.  
🗑
Regulatory proteins   Enzymes & hormones.  
🗑
Erythrocytes (RBCs)   Not a true cell-no nucleus or organelles. Biconcave discs-allow gases to be loaded & unloaded. Filled w/ hemoglobin-transports O2, CO2. Rouleau-RBCs line up in single file as they pass through small vessels. Cant divide. Nucleus pops out. Erythropoesis.  
🗑
Erythrocyte Life Cycle   1.Form in red bone marrow. 2.Circulate in bloodstream for 120 days. 3.Phagocytized in the liver & spleen (not kidney). 4.Heme components recycled. 5.Proteins broken down & used to make new RBCs.  
🗑
Blood Types-ABO group   Surface antigens identify blood type. ABO group: Antigen A & B. Blood type A, B, AB, or O. Antibodies against ABO antigen it does not contain.  
🗑
Blood Types-Rh (D) blood group   Rh(D) antigen on RBCs. Blood type Rh+ or Rh-. Rh- individual doesn't develop antibodies unless exposed to Rh+ blood-birth or injury of Rh+ baby can sensitize Rh- mom against future Rh+ babies. RhoGAM prevents rejection in moms.  
🗑
Blood Transfusions   Unsuccessful: agglutination or clumping occurs. Universal donor: O- ( no antigens). Universal recipient: AB+ ( no antibodies).  
🗑
Erythrocyte disorders   Polycythemia, Anemia  
🗑
Polycythemia   Too many erythrocytes in blood. Increase in viscosity of blood placing strain on heart. High BP. Therapeutic blood donations.  
🗑
Anemia   Too few RBCs leads to low O2 levels. IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA-Lack of iron diet or chronic blood loss. SICKLE CELL DISEASE-Genetic.RBC is sickle shaped. Hemolysis. Platelets stick to rough edge.  
🗑
Leukocytes (WBCs)   True cells-have nucleus & organelles. Larger than RBCs. Help initiate immune response & defend against pathogens. Function outside bloodstream.  
🗑
Diapedesis   WBCs leave bloodstream & enter tissues. Squeeze between endothelial cells.  
🗑
Chemotaxis   WBCs are attracted to site of infection by damaged cells, dead cell, or invading pathogens. Communication.  
🗑
Types of Leukocytes   Granulocytes & Agranulocytes. Granny PHIL is A CYTE.  
🗑
Granulocytes   Neutrophils-phagocytize infectious pathogens by secreting lysozyme. Eosinophils-Parasitic infections. Allergies. Basophils-Allergic reactions-histamine (allergy symps), heparine (inhibits clotting).  
🗑
Agraonulocytes   Lymphocytes-in lymphatic tissue. produce immune response. B & T lymphocytes. Monocytes-phagocytize bacteria, cell fragments, dead cells, & debris.  
🗑
Abnormal WBC Count   Normal: 5,000-10,000 per microliter of blood. Leukocytosis-high WBC count=infection, inflammation, extreme stress. Leukopenia-Low WBC count-viral or bacterial infections.  
🗑
Leukemia   Cancer in the leukocyte-forming cells. Proliferation of abnormal leukocytes. Cancer cells take over bone marrow & slow production of erythrocytes & thrombocytes. Causes anemia & bleeding.  
🗑
Thrombocytes   AKA Platelets. Cell-fragments of megakaryocytes. Live for 8-10 days. Stick to any rough edge.  
🗑
Blood clots form from:   Fibrin (from fibrinogen) makes a web, & Thrombocytes stick.  
🗑
Clotting Disorders   Thrombocytopenia-Abnormally low concentration of platelets. Results from damage to bone marrow, chemotherapy, leukemia, or over active spleen. Hemophilia-Lack of clotting factors. Usually acquired genetically.  
🗑
Hemopoiesis (Hematopoiesis)   Production of formed elements-erethropoiesis, thrombopoiesis, leukopoiesis. Occurs in red marrow. Erythropoietin (EPO) made by the kidney to control RBC production. Hemopietic stem cells form all blood cells.  
🗑
Mesenchyme, Hemocytoblast   Mesenchme is common origin for stem cell. Hemocytoblast is blood stem cell.  
🗑
Myeloid line   Normoblast, nucleus ejected, Reticulocyte, organelles ejected, Erythrocyte. Megakaryocyte, Platelets.  
🗑
Lymphoid line   Lymphoid stem cell to B-lymphblast & T-lymphblast to B-lymphcyte & T-lymphocyte.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
