Question
Answer
How much is Plasma of the blood volume?   55%  
🗑
What are the components of plasma?   Mostly water with dissolved substances  
🗑
What is the normal blood volume for male and female?   Male= 5-6 L and Female= 4-5 L  
🗑
What is the most abundant cell?   Eyrthrocytes  
🗑
What is the purpose of RBC?   Carry oxygen  
🗑
What is eyrthropoietin?   stimulates RBC production  
🗑
When is eyrthropoietin stimulated?   when Hypoxic or Decreased RBC count  
🗑
What is the life span of a RBC?   120 days  
🗑
What type of feedback system is the eyrthropoietin production?   Negative  
🗑
What is hemoglobin made of?   made of Iron. Heme= binds to oxygen and globin= protein  
🗑
What is transferrin?   molecule that carries iron into the bone marrow for RBC production  
🗑
What is the Hematocrit?   What percent of the blood is RBC the average is 45%  
🗑
What is polycythemia?   too many blood cells-- high Hct  
🗑
What is anemia?   decreased RBC == decreased Hct  
🗑
What is a reticulocyte?   immature RBC  
🗑
What is the normal range for WBC?   5000-10000  
🗑
What are the 3 kinds of granulocytes?   neutrophils, Basophils, and eosinophils  
🗑
What are the 2 knids of agranulocytes?   monocytes and lymphocytes  
🗑
What do neutrophils do?   perform phagocytosis  
🗑
What do basophils do?   Migrate to injured tissues and release histamine and heparin.--encourages inflammation  
🗑
What do eosinophils do?   Attacks anything covered in antibodies (allergies)  
🗑
What do monocytes do?   perform phagocytosis- when thy migrate into tissues they are called macrophages  
🗑
What do lymphocytes do?   major regulator of immune system = B/T lymphocytes  
🗑
What is the roll of WBC in tissue typing?   big with organ transplants  
🗑
Where does antibody production take place?   produced by B lymphocytes--proteins-- attacks microbes and foreign proteins  
🗑
what are plasma cells?   big activated B lymphocytes  
🗑
What is the function of a platelet?   platelet plug--clotting  
🗑
What is the normal range for platelets?   150,000-450,000  
🗑
What is the life span for a platelet?   9 days  
🗑
What are the steps in the extrinsic pathway?   damaged endothelial cells--release tissue factor--clotting factor 10 activation  
🗑
What is the time for extrinsic pathway?   12-15 seconds of platelet formation  
🗑
What are the steps in the intrinsic pathway?   collagen under enothelial lining exposed to blood--- activation of clotting factor 10  
🗑
What is the time for intrinsic pathway?   5-10 min of platelet aggregation  
🗑
What are the steps in the common pathway?   intrinsic and extrinsic converge to make common pathway once clotting factor X is released--factor X causes prothrombanase-->prothrombin-->thrombin--> fibrinogen--> fibrin  
🗑
What are the steps in platelet plug formation?   Adhesion--activation--aggrgation  
🗑
What is adhesion?   platelets start sticking with VWB factor  
🗑
What is activation?   change shape-- releases chemicals (ADP and Thromboxane)--which releases calcium  
🗑
What is Vitamin K?   used in liver to make prothrombin--found in green leafy veggies--made from bacteria in intestines  
🗑
What is tissue factor?   clotting factor III released by enodthelial cells  
🗑
what is prothrombinase?   An enzyme that converts prothrombin into thrombin is formed by activated clotting factor X  
🗑
What is fibrin?   protein thread-- that holds clot and platelets together  
🗑
What is vonWillibrand factor?   initiates platelet adheasion- released by endothelial cells  
🗑
What is collagen?   protein--exposure of collagen in blood veseel wall is what starts intrinsic pathway  
🗑
What is GpIIb/IIIa receptors?   platelet receptors- bind to fibrin when actiavted  
🗑
What is calcium and GpIIb/IIIa receptors?   calcium is an intracellular ion that helps to activate platelets  
🗑
what is clot retraction?   clot shrinking to pull the edges of blood vessel or wound together  
🗑
What is fibrinolysis?   distruction of cells  
🗑
What is plasmin?   breaks/dissolves fibrin clot--found in blood  
🗑
what is a thrombus?   inappropriate blood clot formation-- not anchored to blood vessel  
🗑
