Question
Answer
What type of tissue is blood?   Fluid  
🗑
What are the functions of blood?   Distribution of O2, waste products, & hormones. Maintain body temp, normal tissue pH, & adequate fluid volume.  
🗑
What is blood plasma?   A straw-colored, sticky fluid, 90% water, contains over 100 different dissolved solutes, including nutrients, gases, hormones, wastes and products of cell activity, proteins, and in-organic ions (electrolytes).  
🗑
3 formed elements of blood?   Erythrocytes(RBC), Leukocytes(WBC), Platelets  
🗑
Define Hemopoiesis(aka hematopoiesis)   Production of all blood cells  
🗑
Define Erythropoiesis   Production of RBCs  
🗑
Define Leukopoiesis   Production of WBCs  
🗑
Define Thrombopoiesis   Production of platelets  
🗑
What causes Hypoxia?   Low O2 supply. Caused by low number of RBCs due to hemorrhage or excessive bleeding, insufficient hemoglobin per RBC, reduced availability of O2 as might occur at high altitudes or during pneumonia.  
🗑
What causes Leukocytosis?   WBC count over 11,000 cells/ul. This is a normal homeostatic response to an infection in the body.  
🗑
What causes Leukopenia?   Abnormally low WBC count, commonly induced by drugs, particularly glucocorticoids and anticancer agents.  
🗑
6 things you must know about Erythropoietin   Name: Erythropoietin(EPO) Stimulus: normal production, drop in number of RBCs Production Site: kidney Target Site: red bone marrow Action: increase RBC production Response: delivery O2 via RBCs  
🗑
4 things you must know about Thrombopoietin(TPO)   Name: Thrombopoietin(TPO) Stimulus: normal production, response to wounds/hemorrhage Production Site: Liver Action: increase platelet production  
🗑
What results from RBCs having no nucleus?   Greater surface area, more room inside for O2 & CO2 transport, no self-repair(last 120 days)  
🗑
% of O2 in Hb?   98.5%  
🗑
% of O2 in Plasma?   1.5%  
🗑
% of CO2 in Hb?   23%  
🗑
% of CO2 in Bicarb?   70%  
🗑
% of CO2 in Plasma?   7%  
🗑
What is carbaminohemoglobin?   CO2 + Hb  
🗑
What is carboxyhemoglobin?   CO + Hb  
🗑
What is oxyhemoglobin?   O2 + Hb  
🗑
Define Phagocytosis   The process of engulfing & ingesting microorganisms, antigens, and cellular debris (“cell eating”)  
🗑
Define Emigration in regards to phagocytes   The process of engulfing & ingesting microorganisms, antigens, and cellular debris (“cell eating”)  
🗑
Define Antigen   Anything foreign (non-self), or perceived as foreign  
🗑
Define Pathogen   Harmful or disease causing microorganisms  
🗑
What are Granulocytes?   Phagocytes, cytoplasm appears 'grainular', multi-lobed nuclei  
🗑
What are Agranulocytes?   Cytoplasm does not appear granular, single-lobed nuclei  
🗑
Describe Neutrophil   Pale lilac cytoplasm color; 2-5 lobed; Connected blob nucleus; combats acute bacterial infections; 1st line of defense; Most abundant WBC; 1st to site.  
🗑
Describe Eosinophil   Red/orange cytoplasm color; 2-lobed; saddlebag shaped nucleus; combats histamine response by releasing histaminase, parasitic worms; destroys Ag-Ab complexes; 2nd line of defense.  
🗑
Describe Basophils   Blue/purple cytoplasm color; 2-lobed; wig/hat shaped nucleus; combats allergic reactions by releasing histamine; 2nd line of defense; more rare WBC.  
🗑
Describe Lymphocytes   Sky blue cytoplasm color; round indented nucleus; provides immune response; 3rd line of defense; 2nd most abundant WBC; B,T,NK cells.  
🗑
Describe Monocytes   Blue/Gray foamy cytoplasm color; Horse shoe shaped nucleus; combats chronic bacterial infections; 1st line of defense - macrophage; 2nd to site; becomes wandering macrophage.  
🗑
What are B-Cells? (B-Lymphocytes)   Derived from bone marrow; differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies  
🗑
What are T-Cells? (T-Lymphocytes)   Mature in the Thymus; lifespan of hours to years; can directly attack & destroy antigens via cytolysis(breakdown cells)  
🗑
What is Rh factor?   It signifies whether the RBC surface antigen is present or not (+ or -)  
🗑
Why is the Rh factor important?   There is typically no reaction the first time Rh+ is exposed to Rh-, however after that there can be a reaction. An Rh- mother with a Rh+ fetus can cause problems resulting in anemia, hypoxia, brain damage, or even death.  
🗑


   

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.
