| Question | Answer |
| Colloid Osmotic Pressure | the pressure resulting from water moving toward an area of a higher concentration of a solute. |
| Electrolytes | sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate, sulfate |
| Deoxyhemoglobin | oxygen depleted blood |
| Fibrin | insoluble threads of protein that form a meshwork at sites of injury that entrap blood cells and platelets forming blood clots |
| Coagulation | Prothrombin is converted to thrombin. Thrombin breaks fibrinogen into fibrin stands. Fibrin forms mesh. Platelets and erythrocytes caught in mesh form clot. |
| Hematocrit | proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. 48% for men. 38% for women |
| erythropoietin | hormone secreted by the kidney and liver that controls rate of erythrocyte production |
| leukocytes | neutophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes |
| Erythrocyte | Live for 120 days. Damaged cells are destroyed in the liver by macrophage. |
| Bilirubin | orange pigment resulting from the breakdown of hemoglobin. Jaundice is an excess of this in the blood stream. |
| carbaminohemoglobin | CO2 rich blood |
| fibrinogen | large proteins synthesized in liver that functions in blood coagulation |
| Alpha and Beta Globulins | Synthesized in the liver. Transport lipids and fat-soluble vitamins. |
| HDL | High density lipoproteins. Low proportion of lipids to proteins. |
| Gamma Globulins | Produced in lymphatic tissues. Type of antibody. |
| Heme | a component of the erythrocyte, located in the lungs |
| Colloid Osmotic Pressure | Pressure is drawn into the capillaries. The presence of large proteins in the capillaries creates an area of lower fluid concentration than in the interstitial spaces. |
| Hyrdrostatic Pressure | The pressure in the capillaries resulting from the action of the heart. |
| eosinophils | may increase during parasitic infections |
| Fibrinogens | Largest of proteins. Synthesized in liver. Functions in blood coagulation. |
| Anemia | condition in which there are too few erythrocytes or hemoglobin |
| Neutrophils | may increase in bacterial infections |
| Albumin | Small plama proteins that are the primary components of osmotic pressure in the bloodstream |
| Hemoglobin | oxygen carrying portion of erythrocyte |
| Thrombocytes | platelets |
| Plasma | clear, straw-colored liquid containing water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, hormones, exectrolytes, cellular wastes. |
| Hormones | regulate most body functions. |
| ABO bloodgroups | a system of grouping blood based on the presence or absence of two antigens |
| Hemostasis | The stoppage of bleeding in a damaged blood vessel |
| LDL | low density lipoproteins. major cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins. |
| Simple sugars | stored as glycogen or fat. basic resource for cell energy. |
| Globulin | 3 proteins synthesized in the liver and lymphatic tissue and are important in the transport of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins and immunity |
| Erythropoietin | Released during periods of low oxygen. Stimulates Erythrocyte production. |
| Iron | major component of hemoglobin. |
| thrombocyte | platelet. |
| Lipoproteins | proteins and liquids combined. Necessary to be transported through blood |
