Bio 203 blood

blood system

QuestionAnswer
percent of RBCs defined as (in lab) hematocrit
plasma is 92% water plus . . . proteins, solutes in this component of spun blood
plasma proteins gen made by liver makes these
albumin is transporter pro and has this role also osmotic pressure - part of bp contributed to by (this protein) and its attraction for water
if liver doesn't make plasma proteins, less osmotic pressure --> water moves from bv into tissue (edema)
however we get to low protein state this symptom occurs ascites (edema in abd cavity) is associated with dec. plasma pro bwo starvation, liver failure
globulins also transport things like these proteins transport hormones, lipids, lipoproteins(LDL/HDL, immune fx (gamma globulins AKA antibodies)
fibrinogen helps with coagulation, made by liver
plasma also contains nutrients Pro, CHO, LIP nutrients carried by plasma
creatine, amonium and urea/uric acid also found in plasma as waste products
formed elements contain RBCs, some WBCs and platelets. Lab test is CBC to determine #/types of cells
If we want to know type of WBCs from CBC then need to order this lab CBC with differential
WBCs = neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils nmeonic never let monkeys eat bananas
neutrophils are phagocytic yes
lymphocytes increased in infection, make antibodies or are helpers or are able to attack infected cells
monoctyes macrophages when in tissue space, eat dead, dying or infected cells. Usually see in chronic infections.
eosinophils 2-4% of WBC are phagocytes that eat antigen/antibody complexes (as in allergies, autoimmune), parasites
basophil a little bit of histamine (inflammatory chemical) --> bv vasodilation and inc permeability of capillaries
Hgb is a protein in RBC made by bone marrow
bone marrow makes these cells RBC, WBC and platelets (bwo megakaryocte)
pluripotent cells are undifferentiated stem cells in bone marrow can --> RBC, WBC or platelet depending on hormone or factors stimulate it. For RBC it is . . ..for platelets it is . . . *erythropoeitin(from kidneys, some liver). Thrombopoeitin stimulates for platelet production (made in liver)
If you have liver failure, can't make thrombopoeitin-->platelets --> this type of disease clotting disorders
Interleukins are stimulating factors for WBC cell stimulation/proliferation
diseases of bone marrow interfere with homeostasis, --> *can't make RBC, hypoxia *can't make WBC, infectons
aplastic anemia when bone marrow shuts down
leukemia cancer of WBC lines(can be of any). mutation of pluripotent cell--> massive production of one in line (leukocyte, neutrophil, etc). Overproduction of cancer cell, underproduction of everything else
treatment of leukemia chemotherapy and/or radiation to kill cancer cells, then bone marrow transplant. gen require protective isolation.
if decreased RBC and/or decreased Hgb and/or decreased Hct --> anemia which results in hypoxia
anemia results in hypoxia or decreased 02 carrying capacity of blood
if hypoxia then this hormone will stimulated bone marrow to increase RBCs EPO (difficult to do if kidney diseased)
heme is made of Fe and bilirubin(porphyrin ring)
bilirubin is byproduct of RBC degregation, which binds to albumin to liver then transported by transferrin to liver, major storage, then to bile and/or
if pt presents with jaundice, this indicates liver failure and/or hemolytic anemia (yellow pigment of bilirubin breakdown)
bilirubin (unconjugated) is destructive to this type of tissue neural tissue affected by this byproduct of RBC degredation
Bilirubin --> liver for conjugation, then --> intestine (urobilinogen, makes feces brown) --> urobiinogen to blood stream --> kidneys --> urobilinogen (sign of too much bilirubin conjugated indicates disease like hemolytic anemia
Hgb A1C measures what this test measures glycosylation of the protein (how much sugar is on the Hgb)
hemostasis defn and process stopping bleeding bwo spasm, platelet plug, coagulation (12 coagulation factors, no #6 so it looks like 13)
coagulation cascade factors arrive at site of hemostasis to form stable fibin clot process of step 2 hemostasis
anticoagulants to break up clots in vessels TPA, streptokinase, ASA,
Extrinsic cascade if vessel damaged from outside Intrinsic pathway used if vessel damaged from inside (arteriosclerotic clot--> hydrostatic shearing of epithelial lining vessel)
hemophilia classification based upon what coagulation factor they are missing how hemophilacs are treated . . .give them missing coagulation factor (synthetic)
ASA helps prevent platelet plug formation
Heparin inhibits formation of . . . thrombin and Vit K useage
coumadin interferes with Vit K dependent factors (factors II, VII, IX and X)
coumadin -extrinsic - PT, INR as to heparin, intrinsic pathway - APTT (thrombin)
what type of patient needs anticoagulation tx? *pulmonary embolism (piece of thrombus that breaks off) *post op *mechanical heart valve (titanium is sticky for platelets) *atrial fibrillation - cuz blood that's not flowing quickly is likely to clot
ASA effects platelets with respect to clotting cascade
TPA = (used to inhibit thrombin) tissue plasminogen activator, used for lysing clot when no longer needed (fibrinolysis pathway)
Blood Type A has surface Ag A Type B has Ag B on it
Type AB has both A and B antigens Type 0 has no antigens
Type A has these antibodies Anti-B antibodies
Type B has these antibodies Anti-A antibodies
Type AB has these types of antibodies no antibodies
Type O has these antibodies Anti-A and Anti-B
Rh antigen = D antibody therefore if Rh+ no Anti-D antibody
Rh- can make antibody against D in the case of 'sensitization' or exposure such as Rh+ transfusion OR Rh- mom exposed by Rh+ fetus during birth or late term abortion/miscarriage
Give Rhogam to prevent Ab production in Rh- mom
If mom is Rh-, give her Rhogam in what pregnancy? all pregnancies
Do we give Rhogam to Rh+ mom? nope
transfusion reaction: Recipient is A+, donor is Type B+ recipient has antibody to donated cell --> hemolysis (which is the transfusion reaction) --> globin etc clogs capillaries -->glomerular fxn decreases -> kidney failure --> dialysis or death may occur
universal donor type O- (no antigens whatsoever, no transfusion reaction possible)
Universal recipient type AB+ (has all possible antigens, so doesn't make ANY anti-antibodies to ANY antigen)
