Phleb I Chp 9

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

Term
Definition
formed elements of blood   RBC, WBC, platelets  
🗑
erythrocyte   RBC  
🗑
leukocyte   WBC  
🗑
thrombocyte   platelet  
🗑
hematology   study of blood and blood forming tissues  
🗑
hematology tests   supply information about a pt's state of health  
🗑
arteries   carrie oxygenated blood away from heart, branch into smaller vessels called arterioles, have thick walls for high pressure, have pulse, blood is bright red in color  
🗑
oxyhemoglobin   makes blood bright red b/c its oxygenated  
🗑
largest artery in body   aorta  
🗑
veins   carries deoxygenated blood towards the heart, branch into smaller vessels called venules, have valves to prevent back flow, thin elastic "bouncy" walls, blood is dark red  
🗑
capillaries   microscopic vessels that act as bridge between arterioles and venules, so small only one blood cell may pass at a time, blood is mixture of arterial and venous blood, walls are permeable  
🗑
permeable   to pass through  
🗑
blood   life giving fluid of the body  
🗑
average amount of pints of blood in adult   8-10  
🗑
average amount of liters of blood in adult   5-6  
🗑
where is blood flitered   through kidneys  
🗑
homeostasis   overall balance in the body  
🗑
heomstasis   stoppage of blood (clotting)  
🗑
phlebotomy   surgical incision of a vein  
🗑
venipunture   surgical puncture of a vein  
🗑
four functions of blood   transportation, disbursement, regulation, hemostatis  
🗑
blood function: transportation   transports O2 from lungs to tissues and organs, transports CO2 from tissues to lungs  
🗑
blood function: disbursement   distributes waste (digestive), antibodies (immune), nutrients (digestive) and hormones (endocrine) WANH  
🗑
blood function: regulation   regulates body temp, pH and electrolytes (in kidney)  
🗑
how does blood regulate body temperature   vessels constrict (vasoconstriction) to keep blood warm and dilate (vasodialation) to cool body down  
🗑
blood function: hemostasis   stoppage of blood - formation of blood clots to prevent bleeding - platelets aggregate and form platelet plugs  
🗑
two parts of blood   plasma and formed elements  
🗑
plasma   straw colored liquid portion of blood, 90% water and 10% dissolved solutes  
🗑
what are some of the dissolved solutes of plasma   H2O, hormones, amino acids, nutrients, electrolytes, waste, antibodies, glucose, lipids, proteins (albumin, prothrombin, fibrinogen),  
🗑
serum   liquid portion after clotting  
🗑
what are the steps of coagulation cascade (clotting)   platelets aggregate and form plugs, factors start to activate (thromboplastin released), calcium binds, prothrombin converts to thrombin, fibrinogen converts to fibrin  
🗑
what does the buffy coat contain   WBC and platelets  
🗑
what is hemopoesis or hematopoieisis   formation and development of blood cells  
🗑
where does hemopoesis take place   in bone marrow with a single stem cell  
🗑
hemocytoblast   a non-differentiated stem cell that over time will mature and take on characteristics of a specific cell type (ie RBC, WBC, platelets)  
🗑
what is the shape of a RBC   biconcave disk  
🗑
where is hemoglobin located   surface of RBC  
🗑
what does hemoglobin contain   combination of protein and iron  
🗑
erythroblast   immature RBC with a nucleus  
🗑
reticulocyte   immature RBC without a nucleus  
🗑
where are WBCs and RBCs destroyed   liver, spleen, bone marrow  
🗑
where are RBCs produced   bone marrow  
🗑
what is the importance of hemoglobin   binds with O2 on the surface of the RBC  
🗑
how does sickle cell or thalassemia affect the ability of RBC to do its job   RBC shape is deformed so there is not enough surface area to carry O2 and hemoglobin (which is made up of iron and protein)  
🗑
erythropoietin   hormone synthesized mainly in kidney that forms RBC and releases into bloodstream - stimulates bone marrow to make RBCs  
🗑
what are the vital minerals and vitamins for production of RBCs   iron, B12, folate  
🗑
REF   renal erythoropoietic factor - kidney + pertaining to formation of RBC  
🗑
where are RBCs form in fetus   liver  
🗑
lifespan of RBC   120 days  
🗑
normal range of RBCs in female and male   female = 4- 5.5 million male = 4.5 - 6 million  
🗑
average WBC count   4,500 - 11,000  
🗑
function of WBCs   defense  
🗑
two types of WBCs   agranulocyte, granulocyte  
🗑
agranulocyte   WBC without granules - lymphocyte, monocyte - in all lymphatic tissue  
🗑
granulocyte   WBC with granules - neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils - in bone marrow  
🗑
lifespan of WBC   1 day - 1 year depending on their job  
🗑
neutrophils   "first responders" that phagocytize or destroy bacteria - make up majority of WBCs (granulocyte)  
🗑
eosinophils   WBCs that help destroy parasites (granulocyte)  
🗑
basophils   WBCs that secrete heparin (anticoagulant) and histimine (granulocyte)  
🗑
lymphocytes   WBCs produced in bone marrow and lymphoid tissues - incresses with viral infections T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells (agranulocyte)  
🗑
monocytes   transforms into macrophage when move from circulatory to tissue space  
🗑
diapedsis   process of monocyte transforming into macrophage  
🗑
platelets   smallest of blood cells, fragmentized by megakaryocyte, contains thromboplastin which triggers clotting process  
🗑
platelet formation and destruction   formed in bone marrow, destroyed in spleen  
🗑
lifespan of platelets   9-12 days  
🗑
average amount of platelets   250,000 - 500,000  
🗑
function of platelet   hemostasis or forms platelet plugs  
🗑
WBC differential   differentiates each WBC so you can determine how many of each  
🗑
morphology   study of shape/size  
🗑
polycythemia   condition of too many RBCs  
🗑
thrombocytopenia   deficiency or decrease in platelets  
🗑
pulse sites   temporal, dorsalis pedis, carotid, brachial, radial, ulnar, femoral, popliteal, tibial, apical pulse  
🗑


   

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.
