Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Blood   Viscous transport medium that is carried away from the heart by arteries and back to the heart by veins  
🗑
Color of blood when it's oxygenated   Bright red  
🗑
Color of blood when its deoxygenated   Dark red  
🗑
Functions of blood   Suppply O2 to body, Removal CO2, Temp regulation, Water balance, Transport nutrients, Removal of wastes, Wound healing  
🗑
Blood is made of two parts   Cells and Plasma  
🗑
Cellular elements of blood   RBCs, WBCs, and Platelets (aka Thrombocytes)  
🗑
Erythrocytes   RBCs. Transport O2 from the lungs to the tissues, Transport CO2  
🗑
Leukocytes   WBCs. Protects the body against infection and ds  
🗑
Thrombocytes   Platelets. Important for blood coagulation, Necessary for controlling hemorrhaging  
🗑
Plasma   Straw colored fld part of blood. 60% of total blood. Made of 92% water and rest P  
🗑
Proteins in Plasma   Albumin, Fibrinogen, Alpha/Beta/Gamma Globulins  
🗑
Nonproteins Nitrogens (NPNs) in Plasma   Urea, Uric acid, Creatine, Creatinine, Ammonium salts, and Amino Acids  
🗑
Organic substances in Plasma   Glucose, Lipids, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Cholesterol, Hormones, & Clotting Factors in organic chemicals  
🗑
Major gases in Plasma   O2 and CO2  
🗑
Two main types of Leucocytes   Granular and Nongranular  
🗑
Three types of Granular Leucocytes   Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and Basophils  
🗑
Neutrophils   Ingest and destroy bacteria through phagocytosis  
🗑
Eosinophils   Become active in the presence of allergies and certain infections. Use phagocytosis  
🗑
Basophils   Secrete heparin (an anticoagulant) and histamine (an inflammation stimulant and vasodilator) in R/T chronic inflammation and d healing from an infection  
🗑
Two kinds of nongranular leukocytes   Lymphocytes and Monocytes  
🗑
Monocytes   Use phagocytosis to ingest foreign substances to help prevent infection  
🗑
Normal blood count for platelets   250k - 450k per cubic mm of blood  
🗑
How do Thrombocytes work   When a BV is damaged, platelets flow over the torn edges which stimulates the platelets to disintegrate and release various clotting agents that lead to formation of Thromboplastin, which causes coagulation.  
🗑
How do Platelets inhibit additional blood loss from a damaged BV   Platelets also release a substance that causes vasoconstriction to decrease the amt of blood that flows through the area  
🗑
Where do blood cells originate from   Pluripotent cells - stems cells in Red Bone Marrow  
🗑
Two types of stems cells from Pluripotent cells   Lymphoid and Myeloid  
🗑
Agglutinogen   Blood protein chemical molecule markers on the surface of the RBC  
🗑
Agglutinin   Antibody. Protein present in blood Plasma. These antibodies are the opposite of what blood type the person is. Ex. Prsn with Type A blood has B antibodies.  
🗑
Type O blood contains what antibodies   Both A and B Antibodies. That's why it's the Universal Donor  
🗑
Type AB blood contains what antibodies   Contains no antibodies. That's why it's the Universal Recipient  
🗑
Rh factor   A protein originally found in a Rhesus monkey  
🗑
Rh+   Presence of the protein in the blood, meaning there is a positive factor  
🗑
Rh-   No present of the protein in the blood, meaning there are no factors  
🗑
Why is it important for a pregnant woman to know if she's Rh+ or Rh-   Bc if she is Rh- and the baby is Rh+, her body could react to the protein and make antibodies that attack the baby's blood, causing anemia and possibly fetal death  
🗑
If the mom is Rh- how can the baby be Rh+   Inherited it from the dad  
🗑
If the mom is Rh+ and the baby is Rh-   There will be no problem, since the body mounts an immune response only if it detects a "foreign" factor. The Rh- negative baby has no factors to trigger the mother's antibody response.  
🗑
Hemostasis   Arrest of blood that escapes from a BV by either natural or artificial means  
🗑
Artificial Hemostasis   In surgery, through the use of hemostatic agents or suture ligatures and use of thermal cautery or laser  
🗑
Natural Hemostasis depends on   Certain mechanisms and on the ability of the blood to clot  
🗑
Whole blood transfusion   Pt has lost a lg amt of blood  
🗑
Components of Whole Blood   RBC, WBCs, Platelets, Immunoglobulins, Fresh frozen plasma  
🗑
Reason why RBCs are used in whole-blood transfusions   Restoration of blood's ability to transport O2  
🗑
Reason why WBCs are used in whole-blood transfusions   Restore WBCs lost in infections  
🗑
Reason why Platelets are used in whole-blood transfusions   Pts with blood-clotting disorders  
🗑
Reason why Immunoglobulins are used in whole-blood transfusions   To build immunity when antibody levels are low  
🗑
Reason why Fresh Frozen Plasma is used in whole-blood transfusions   To help with blood clotting, often transfused in pts with liver fx  
🗑
Analogous transfusion   Pt donates their own blood for their blood transfusion during procedures  
🗑
Blood salvage AKA Intraoperative Blood Collection   Used d an operation that is expected to involve lg blood loss. The team recovers the pt's blood and reinfuses it d surgery  
🗑
Two methods of Blood Salvaging   Washed and Unwashed methods  
🗑
Washed Method   Using a high-speed centrifuge to separate the blood into its components. It takes the RBCs and washes them in saline solution, pumps it into an infusion bag to return back to pt  
🗑
Unwashed Method   Doesn't use a centrifuge. Collects blood into a filtering reservoir. After filtering, unwashed blood is transferred into a bag to return back to pt  
🗑
Hemorrhagic Anemia   Hemorrhage C/B trauma or internal bleeding which results in anemia  
🗑
Aplastic Anemia   Lack of production of RBCs  
🗑
Pernicious Anemia   C/B lack of intrinsic factor secreted by the stomach. The intrinsic factor is important for Vit B12 absorption in the small intestines.  
🗑
Polycythemia   Clonal stem cell disorder that results in the abnormal increase in the number of circulating RBCs (I.E. too many RBCs makes the blood thick)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
