Question
Answer
A person has ____ to ____ liters of blood   4 to 6  
🗑
The normal pH range of blood is   7.35 to 7.45, which is slightly alkaline  
🗑
The viscosity of blood is   3 to 5 times thicker than water  
🗑
Plasma is the   liquid part of the blood  
🗑
Plasma is made up of approximately   91% water  
🗑
The clotting factors are   prothrombin and fibrinogen  
🗑
Albumin is the most abundant   plasma protein  
🗑
Prothrombin, fibrinogen, albumin, alpha globulins, and beta globulins are all synthesized by the   liver  
🗑
Other plasma proteins are called   globulins  
🗑
Plasma also carries   body heat  
🗑
The three kind of blood cells are   red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets  
🗑
Blood cells are produced from stem cell in   hemopoietic tissue  
🗑
Lymphocytes mature and divide in   lymphatic tissue  
🗑
Red bone marrow is found in   flat and irregular bones, such as the sternum, hip bone and vertebrae  
🗑
Red blood cells are also called   erythrocytes  
🗑
A normal RBC count is   4.5 to 6.0 million cells per microliter  
🗑
Hematocrit   The amount of RBCs in the blood  
🗑
A normal hematocrit range is   38% to 48%  
🗑
Red blood cells contain the protein   hemoglobin  
🗑
Hemoglobin gives RBCs the ability to carry   oxygen  
🗑
The normal range of quantity of hemoglobin is   12 to 18 gram per 100 mL  
🗑
Red bone marrow may also be called   hemocytoblasts  
🗑
Hypoxia   Lack of oxygen  
🗑
Erythropoetin stimulates   the red bone marrow to increase the rate of RBC prodcution  
🗑
normoblast   The last stage of the maturation of an RBC that has a nucleus  
🗑
Red blood cells live for approximately   120 days  
🗑
Damaged cells are removed from circulation by cells of the   tissue macrophage system  
🗑
Vitamin B12 is also called the   extrinsic factor  
🗑
Parietal cells of the stomach lining produce the   intrinsic factor  
🗑
Deficiency of B12 or the intrinsic factor results in   pernicious anemia  
🗑
Clumping of blood   agglutination  
🗑
Rupturing of blood cells   hemolysis  
🗑
White blood cells are also called   leukocytes  
🗑
A normal WBC count is   5,000 to 10,000 per microliter  
🗑
The granular leukocytes are   the neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils  
🗑
The agranular leukocytes are   lymphocytes and monocytes  
🗑
WBCs help provide   immunity  
🗑
Neutrophils and monocytes are capable of the   phagocytosis of pathogens  
🗑
Neutrophils are the more _______ phagocytes   abundant  
🗑
Monocytes are the more ______ phagocytes   efficient  
🗑
Immature forms of neutrophils are called   band cells  
🗑
Heparin is an   anticoagulant  
🗑
Histamine   makes capillaries more permeable, allowing tissue fluid, proteins and white blood cells to accumulate in the damaged area  
🗑
T cells   recognize foreign antigens and may directly destroy some foreign antigens  
🗑
B cells   become plasma cells that produce antibodies to foreign antigens  
🗑
T cells and B cells   provide memory for immunity  
🗑
Natural kill cells   destroy foreign cells by chemically rupturing their membranes  
🗑
Leukocytosis   high WBC count  
🗑
Leukopenia   low WBC count  
🗑
Leukemia   malignancy of leukocyte-forming tissues  
🗑
Major histocompatibility complex   the genes for the self-antigens  
🗑
Thrombocytes   platelets  
🗑
Thrombopoeitin   a hormone produced by the liver that increases the rate of platelet production  
🗑
Vascular spasm   The contraction of a smooth muscle in a large vessel when it is damaged  
🗑
Platelet plugs   The barrier in a capillary wall when it is ruptured, formed by platelets  
🗑
Chemical clotting   The stimulus for clotting is a rough surface within a vessel, or a break int eh vessel, which also creates a rough surface  
🗑
The chemicals involved with clotting are   platelet factors, chemicals release by damaged tissues, calcium ions, and the plasma protein prothrombin, fibrinogen, Factor 8 and others synthesized by the liver  
🗑
Vitamin K is necessary for the liver to synthesize   prothombrin and several other clotting factors  
🗑
A clot itself is made of   fibrin  
🗑
Clot retraction   the folding of the fibrin threads to pull the edges of the rupture in the vessel wall closer together  
🗑
Fibrinolysis   The process of the dissolving of the clot  
🗑
The ______ is smooth so abnormal clots do not occur   endothelium  
🗑
Antithrombin prevents   excess clotting  
🗑
A clot is called a   thrombus  
🗑
An embolism is a   clot or other tissue that transported from somewhere else and lodged in and obstructs a vessel.  
🗑
Normal hematocrit for girls   35-45  
🗑
Normal hematocrit for boys   40-50  
🗑
Hematocrit=   (Red blood cells/Total)* 100 (to convert to percent)  
🗑
Blood Doping   Increasing hematocrit  
🗑
What percentage of blood is plasma?   57%  
🗑
Hypertension   High blood pressure  
🗑
Rouleaux formation   When RBCs line up to pass through very tiny capillaries one by one  
🗑
Normal hemoglobin   12-18  
🗑
