🗑
The average sized adult has a blood volume of about how many liters?   5 liters  
🗑
A blood sample is usually about what percent of red blood cells?   45%  
🗑
The white blood cells and platlets account for less than what percent?   1%  
🗑
What is the remaining 55% part of a blood sample that is straw-colored?   Plasma  
🗑
What mixture includes water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, and cellular waste?   Plasma  
🗑
Blood cells originate in red bone marrow from what cells   Hematopoietic stem cells  
🗑
A protein called _____ stimulates large cells called megakaryocytes toproliferate   thrombopoietin  
🗑
biconcave discs, thin near their centers and thicker around their rims   erythrocytes  
🗑
oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells   hemoglobin  
🗑
_____ eventually come apart, yeilding platelets   megakaryocytes  
🗑
Prolonged oxygen deficiency   hypoxia  
🗑
when hemoglobin combines with oxygen, the resulting ____ is bright red   oxyhemoglobin  
🗑
when the oxygen is released, the resulting _____ is darker   deoxyhemoblobin  
🗑
the largest blood cells, 2-3x bigger than red blood cells, kidney-shaped nuclei, mature into macrophages   monocytes  
🗑
without cytoplasmic granules   agranulocytes  
🗑
respond to thrombopoietin and yield platelets   megakaryocytes  
🗑
red blood cells   erythrocytes  
🗑
white blood cells of immunity; b & t cells   lymphocytes  
🗑
leukocytes with granular cytoplasm   granulocytes  
🗑
divides and gives rise to specialized/differentiated cells that can be of any type   stem cells  
🗑
contain histamine and heparin granules, which promote inflammation and inhibit blood clotting and account for less than 1% of the leukocytes   basophils  
🗑
young red cells that contain a netlike structure for a day or two before maturing (remainder of ER)   reticulocytes  
🗑
white blood cells that protect against disease   leukocytes  
🗑
platelets   thrombocytes  
🗑
moderate allergic reactions and defend against parasitic infections; 1-3% of total leukocytes   eosinophils  
🗑
pac man cells that phagocytize debris and microbes   macrophages  
🗑
lobed nucleus with 2-5 segs, called PMNs, 1st WBCs to arrive at infection site, phagocytize microbes, 54-62% of leukocytes   neutrophils  
🗑
the oxygen-carrying portion of blood is called   hemoglobin  
🗑
the iron-carrying portion of hemoglobin in the blood is called   heme  
🗑
a deficiency of red blood cells, or a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin they contain results in a condition called   anemia  
🗑
oxygen-deficiency   hypoxia  
🗑
bluish skin   cyanotic  
🗑
when hemoglobin breaks down, heme decomposes into iron and the green pigment called   biliverdin  
🗑
biliverdin is then converted into an orange pigment called   bilirubin  
🗑
what is the lifespan of red blood cells   120 days  
🗑
why are red blood cells destroyed   to create a homeostatic environment by controling the rate of blood cell production  
🗑
how are red blood cells destroyed   rupture as they pass through the spleen or liver  
🗑
where are red blood cells destroyed   in the spleen or liver then macrophages phagocytize them  
🗑
what 2 hormones cause leukocytes to differentiate? Where?   interleukins and colony-stimulating factors. both are found in red bone marrow  
🗑
what is the lifespan of leukocytes   12 hours  
🗑
how do leukocytes move and squeeze between cells of small blood vessels   diapedesis which allows leukocytes to leave the circulation, then they use ameboid motion to self propel  
🗑
damaged cells release chemicals that attract leukocytes a process called   positive chemotaxis  
🗑
a decrease in the amount of white blood cells   leukopenia  
🗑
an increase in the amount of white blood cells   leukocytosis  
🗑
a drop in platelet count,   thrombocytopenia  
🗑
limits thrombin formation   antithrombin  
🗑
contraction of smooth muscles in vessel walls   vasospasm  
🗑
an abnormal blood clot forms in a vessel   thrombus  
🗑
smallest plasma protein but accounts for 60%   albumins  
🗑
insoluble protein threads in clot formation   fibrin  
🗑
in muscle/brain tissues; stores energy bonds   creatine phosphate  
🗑
soluble plasma protein in coagulation   fibrinogen  
🗑
a clot dislodges, breaks loose   embolus  
🗑
36% of plasma proteins; alpha/beta/gamma   globulins  
🗑
blockage formed in vessel during coagulation   platelet plug  
🗑
factor 2, alpha globulin, liver makes, converts   prothrombin  
🗑
factor 2a, fragments fibrinogen (factor 1)   thrombin  
🗑
stopping of bleeding when blood vessels are damaged is called   hemostasis  
🗑
release of biochemicals from broken blood vessels or damaged tissues triggers   extrinsic clotting mechanism  
🗑
blood contact with foreign surfaces in the absence of tissue damage stimulates the   intrinsic clotting mechanism  
🗑
abnormally activated coagulation associated with bacterial infection or toxins in the blood is called   disseminated intravascular clotting  
🗑
a self-initiating action in which the original action stimulates more of the same type of action and can operate only for a short perios of time is called   positive feedback  
🗑
when a blood clot forms in a vessel that supplies a magor organ and blocks blood flow and kills tissues the vessels serves, this is called an   infarction  
🗑
the most common cause of thrombosis in medium-size arteries, causing abnormal clot formations, as well as fatty deposit accumulations is called   atherosclerosis  
🗑
when prolonged immobility causes blood to pool, leading to clot formation, especially in the popliteal veins or in the deep veins of the pelvis, this is called   deep vein thrombosis  
🗑
the following is based on the presence or absence of 2 major antigens on red blood cell membranes (antigen A or antigen B)   ABO blood group  
🗑
if a pregnant woman is rh-negative and is pregnant with her second child, who is rh-positive, without shots of rhogam, the anti-rh antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy fetal red blood cells, resulting in a condition called   erythroblastois fetalis  
🗑
if a person has type A blood, can they accept blood from another type a donor   yes and type o  
🗑
if a person has type o blood can they receive blood from any type of donor   no  
🗑
if a person has type ab blood, can they receive blood from type a or type b   yes and type o  
🗑
if a person has type b blood, can they receive blood from type o   yes  
🗑
what happens during a mismatched blood transfusion   red cells burst releasing hemoglobin. Macrophages eat the hemoglobin, breaking it down into heme and globin. Which is broken down even farther to bilirubin produceing jaundice of the skin . kidneys may fail  
🗑
