Question
Answer
What determines the color of blood?   The amount of oxygen  
🗑
Describe plasma and list it's constituents (parts).   liquid portion 55%, water 92%, Proteins 7%, albumin - volume expandable, globulin - protein (gamma = immunity), coagulation proteins: prothrombin + fibrinogen  
🗑
List all three types of blood cells and all of their names   white blood cells (WBC) leukocytes. red blood cells (RBC) erythrocytes. platelets (thrombocytes)  
🗑
What exactly is responsible for carrying O2 (oxygen)?   hemoglobin - oxygen bind with pigment  
🗑
Which cells perform phagocytosis?   leukocytes (WBC).  
🗑
List two functions of platelets.   1) release thromboplastin. 2) platelet plug.  
🗑
What blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow?   All - WBC, RBC, Platelets.  
🗑
Which is described as the "protein pigment" which is carried in the RBC?   hemoglobin  
🗑
What is the normal range of WBC?   4,000 - 9,000 or 5,000 - 10,000  
🗑
What is the normal range of RBC?   4.5-6 million per cubic d/L  
🗑
What is the normal ranges of platelets?   150,000 - 500,000  
🗑
List all plasma proteins and describe the function of each one.   Albumin "volume expander" prevents water from escaping. Globulins - protein (gamma = immunity) Fibrinogen + prothrombin - coagulation proteins

🗑
What element is necessary for Hgb formation?   Iron  
🗑
Which organ forms bilirubin from waste products of old RBC destruction?   Spleen  
🗑
Which element plays a major role in the clotting mechanism?   Calcium  
🗑
Review life cycle (development of) RBC.   minor decrease in oxygen and the kidney secretes erythropoiten which goes to red bone marrow causing it to form RBC, 1st erythroblast - has nucleus, rbc live 3-4 months - as they try to fit through capillaries macrophages absorb old waste  
🗑
What do we need bile for?   fat digestion.  
🗑
Define diapedesis.   the process of a WBC moving from a capillary wall to infected area which makes it white  
🗑
