Question | Answer |
What is the composition of Blood? | 55% Plasma, 45% Cells |
What are the 3 categories of cells? | Erythrocytes (most), Thrombocytes (2nd most), Leukocytes (least) |
What are Thrombocytes AKA? | Platelets |
What are Erythrocytes AKA? | RED Blood Cells |
What are Leukocytes AKA? | WHITE Blood Cells |
What are the subcategories of Leukocytes? | Granular, Nongranular |
What are the subtypes of Nongranular Leukocytes? | Lymphocytes --> T-Cells, B-Cells; Monocytes --> Macrophages |
What are some anatomical differences between Granular and Nongranular Leukocytes? | Granular = granules in cytoplasm, Polynuclear or Bi-lobed Nuclei; Nongranular = mononucleated |
What is the location of Lymphocytes and what kind of cell are they? | from Lymph Tissue & Nodes - Nongranular Leukocytes |
What is the difference between Monocytes and Macrophages? | Monocytes are INSIDE the Circulatory System and Macrophages are OUTSIDE the Circulatory System |
What are the subtypes of Granular Leukocytes? | Neutrophils (most), Eosinophils (2nd most), Basophils (least) |
What is the function of Basophils and what kind of cell are they? | Anti-coagulation after injury - Granular Leukocytes |
What is the function of Eosinophils and what kind of cell are they? | Remove Debris, fight Infestation - Granular Leukocytes |
What is the function of Neutrophils and what kind of cell are they? | Phagocytosis (ingest microbes) |
What are some characteristics of Neutrophils? | contain many Lysosomes, last only a Few Hours, Constantly making More - Polynuclear |
What are the functions of Blood? | 1. O2 & CO2 transport/exchange; 2. Nutrient/Waste Transport; 3. Hormone Transport; 4. Thermoregulation; 5. Antibody Circulation/Immunity; 6. Coagulation |
What are the functions of Plasma? | Nutrient/Waste Transport, Hormone Transport |
What is the composition of Blood Plasma? | 90% Water, Wastes, Hormones, blood Gases, Plasma Proteins |
Where are Plasma Proteins produced? | Liver |
Name the Plasma Proteins? | 1. Albumins; 2. Globulins; 3. Fibrinogen; 4; Prothrombin |
What is the function of Albumin and where is it located? | gives plasma Viscosity, keeps Water from osmotically LEAVING blood - Plasma |
What are the types of Globulins? | Alpha, Beta, Gamma |
What is the function of Globulins? | Antibodies --> Travel Immunizations |
What is the function of Fibrinogen and Prothrombin and where are they located? | Coagulation - Plasma |
