Blood questions

QuestionAnswer
Functions of the blood include all of the following except Generate body heat
Blood is composed of all the following except Interstitial fluid
The total blood volume of blood in the body of a 70 kg man is approximately 5-6 liters
The most abundant proteins in the plasma are Albumins
Plasma proteins that are necessary for blood clotting are the Fibrinogens
Red blood cells are formed in the Red bone marrow
Stem cells responsible for the production of most white blood cells originate in the Red bone marrow
Red blood cell production is regulated by the hormone Erythropoietin
More than 95% of the proteins in the red blood cell is Hemoglobin
Is a condition in which the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is reduced Anemia
Aged and damaged erythrocytes are broken down by the Spleen
The waste product bilirubin is produced from Portions of heme molecules that do not contain iron
Most of the iron that is removed from degraded hemoglobin is Recycled to the bone marrow
Erythrocytes are formed from stem cells called Hemocytoblasts
Erythropoiesis increases when Oxygen levels in the blood decrease
The white blood cells that are important in producing antibodies are the Lymphocytes
Platelets are formed from cells in the bone marrow called Megakaryocytes
The common pathway of coagulation begins with the Activating of a clotting factor that converts prothrombin to thrombin
Which of the following lab values would be a sign of anemia 3.5 million red blood cells
Hemolytic disease of the newborn may result if An Rh negative mother carries an Rh positive fetus
A decrease in the amount of transferrin in the blood would result in Increased absorption of iron from the intestine
Blood returning to the heart from the systemic circuit first enters the Right atrium
Blood returning to the heart from the pulmonary circuit first enters Left atrium
The cusps of atrioventricular valves are attached to papillary muscles by the Chordae tendineae
The right ventricle pumps blood to the Lungs
The atrioventricular valve on the side of the heart that receives the superior vena cava is the Tricuspid
The heart is innervated by Parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves
In the cardiac muscle the depolarization phase of the action potential is the result of Increased membrane permeability to sodium ions
The pacemaker cells of the heart are located in the SA node
Depolarization of the ventricles is represented on an electrocardiogram by the QRS complex
The first heart sound is heard when AV valves close
The volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during a contraction is called The stroke volume
Each of the following conditions would increase heart rate except Increased parasympathetic stimulation of nodal fibers
Intercalated discs convey the force of contraction from cell to cell and propagate Action potentials
When the semilunar valves close the AV valves Open
Bradycardia Slow heart rate
Tachycardia Fast heart rate
Depolarization of the atria corresponds directly to the EKGs P wave
Systole Contraction
Diastole/ filling Relaxation
The amount of blood that is forced out of the heart depends on The degree of stretching at the end of ventricular diastole, the contractility of the ventricle, the amount of pressure required to eject blood
When the left ventricle contracts the diameter of the ventricular chamber Decreases
Cardiac output would be greatest when Sympathetic stimulation of the heart increases
If the connection between the SA node and AV node becomes blocked The ventricles will beat more slowly
