Chapter 10 Blood
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Plasma | 55% |
Hematocrit | Volume of blood sample should be 45% |
Cells | 45% |
RBC | Erythrocytes |
Red blood cells | Formed in bone marrow; carries oxygen |
Hemoglobin | Molecules combine with CO2 to transport |
Oxyhemoglobin | Bright red; plenty of oxygen |
Deoxyhemoglobin | Bluish; not much oxygen |
Anemia | Few red blood cells |
WBC | Leukocytes |
White Blood Cells | Fights diseases |
Neutrophils | Eats bacteria; most common |
Eosinophils | Attack parasites; allergic reactions |
Basophils | Produces blood thinners and histomines |
Monocytes | Makes macrophages |
Lymphocytes | Immune system; second most common |
Blood Plasma | Liquid portion; 92% |
Albumins | Made in liver; maintains blood pressure |
Alpha and beta | Made in liver; transports lipids |
Gamma | Forms antibodies |
Fibrinogen | Importance to blood clotting |
Major blood clotting event | Change from fibrinogen into fibrin |
Hemostasis | The process to stop bleeding |
Type A receives | A or O |
Type B receives | B or O |
Type AB receives | A, B, AB, or O least common |
Type O receives | O most common |
Rh | Rhesus monkey |
Type O | Universal Donar |
Iron | Is a critical element needed to synthesize hemoglobin and normal RBC |
Hematopoeisis | Blood cells live for 120 days then are eaten by the liver and spleen |
Erythropoietin | Secreted by kidneys; stimulates the formation of RBC; requires B12 and Folic Acid |
Blood Vessel Spasm | Damaged or broken vessels stimulates muscle tissue in the walls of the vessels to contract. This slows or stops blood flow, lasts for several min. Platelets release serotonin , a vasoconstrictor which maintains the muscle even longer |
Platelet Plug | Platelets stick to surfaces of damaged blood vessels and form a plug |
Blood Coagulation | most effective; forms a blood clot (hematoma). Injury causes an increase in the release of coagulation: conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin |
Tissue Damage | production of prothrombin activator |
Prothrombin | converted to thrombin |
Thrombin | acts as a enzyme to cause change of fibrinogen to fibrin, which traps platelets and blood cells to form a hematoma |
Thrombus | internal blood clot |
Embolus | clots move |
Embolism | resulting stroke |
Platelets | cell fragments |
PL | thrombocytes |
Antigen A | Plasma: Anti-B antibodies |
Antigen B | Plasma: Anti-A antibodies |
Antigen A&B | Plasma: neither anti- A or anti-B antibodies |
Neither antigen A nor B | Both anti-A and anti- B antibodies |
Rh factor | caused by a dominant allele and is inherited |
Erythroblastosis fetalis | mothers immune system attacks the fetus when the mother is Rh- because the body shows the baby as an infection |
Systemic Circulation | delivers blood to all body cells |
Pulmonary Circulation | eliminates carbon dioxide and oxygenates the blood |
Deoxygenated blood | blue |
Oxygenated blood | red |
Pericardium | encloses the heart (like a bag) |
Pericardial cavity | fluid for the heart to float, reducing friction |
Epicardium | outer layer, reduces friction |
Myocardium | Middle layer, mostly cardiac muscle |
Endocardium | inner layer, blood vessels |
Atria | top chamber |
Ventricles | bottom chambers right- thin left- thick |
Septum | seperating two chambers |
Atrioventricular Valve | between upper chambers |
tricuspid | prevents back flow of blood 3 flaps |
bicuspid | has blood flow one way to the left atrium to the left ventricle |
Superior Vena Cava/ Inferior Vena Cava | return blood from the head and body to the heart connects to left atrium |
Chordae Tendinae/ papillary muscles | prevents bonds from bending |
Pulmonary Trunk/ Arteries | splits into left and right, both leads to lungs and leaves left ventricle |
Pulmonary Valve | valves open and close as blood flows through |
Pulmonary Veins | blood returns to the heart with O2 blood 2 on each side |
1st Step in blood path | Deoxygenated blood enters through right atrium through the vena cava |
2nd step in blood path | blood enters right ventricle |
3rd Step in blood path | Blood goes out the pulmonary arteries and heads to the lungs |
4th step in blood path | blood returns from the lungs and enters the left atrium |
5th step in blood path | blood moves into the left ventricle |
6th step in blood path | oxygenated blood moves out of the left ventricle through the aorta and to the body |
skeleton of the Heart | dense connective tissue holding the heart and valves in place |
Systole | heart beating |
Diastole | heart resting |
Hypertension of blood pressure | 140/90 |
normal blood pressure | 120/80 |
ECG | heartbeat |
Fast Heart Beat | Tachycardia |
Slow Heart Beat | Bradycardia |
Irregular Heart Beat | Arrhymthmia |
P Wave | Atrial Contraction |
QRS Wave | Ventricular Contraction |
T Wave | Ventricular repolarization |
SA Node | triggers ventricle squeeze |
