What are the functions of blood?

regulate pH and electrolytes, provide oxygen and nutrients to cells, protect from foreign substances, and can change from liquid to gel to prevent bleeding.

What is the blood made of?

55% plasma and 45% formed elements

What is plasma made of?

plasma is made of 90% water and salts, vitamins, proteins, and wastes dissolved in plasma.

Plasma is made of what?

buffer pH, transport molecules, signal hormone changes, and defend the body against outside agents.

they are also known as immunoglobulins and help defend the body against cellular defense

How does blood plasma transport CO2

An enzyme called carbonic anhydrase converts picked up CO2 as bicarbonate ions and they are transported to the lungs where they are converted back into CO2 to be exhaled

What make the formed elements?

Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. Erythrocytes make up a majority of the formed elements and are massively produced within the red bone marrow of axial and girdle.

What is the formation of RBCs and how does it contribute to their function?

RBCs are biconcave, have no mitochondria, or a nucleus. Their shape allows for rapid gas exchange and transport blood gases.

hemoglobin is made of 4 iron atoms that allow for binding of O2 and CO2 molecules for transport

made in bone marrow, have nuclei, can be branched into two or more lobes and lack hemoglobin

What are neutrophils?

make up 70% of all leukocytes - have multilobes - and fight bacterial infections - attract phagocytes to a injury site - secrete oxidizing agents

fight parasitic infections - make 3% of leukocytes - bi-lobed- help with parasitic infections and allergic reactions

help with tissue injuries and allergic reactions - migrate to injured tissue to release histamine and heparin.

What are lymphocytes (agranulocyte)

the cells that populate lymph nodes and glands - responsible for specific immune response to infections - make 20/30% of leukocytes - large and round

monocytes (agranulocyte)

become phagocytic cells called macrophages - little function in blood - horseshoe shaped - bacterial infections

chronic granulocytic/lymphocytic leukemia

overproduction of WBCS in the bone marrow - bc it is granulocytes the symptoms are less severe than acute forms of leukemia

Chagas disease/african sleeping sickness

trypanosomes - protozoan parasites of the blood and can cause these two diseases through bugs. Resist antiparasitic medications.
