Question
Answer
ABO bloodgroups   a system of grouping blood based on the presence or absence of two antigens  
🗑
Albumin   Small plama proteins that are the primary components of osmotic pressure in the bloodstream  
🗑
Anemia   condition in which there are too few erythrocytes or hemoglobin  
🗑
Colloid Osmotic Pressure   the pressure resulting from water moving toward an area of a higher concentration of a solute.  
🗑
Deoxyhemoglobin   oxygen depleted blood  
🗑
erythropoietin   hormone secreted by the kidney and liver that controls rate of erythrocyte production  
🗑
Fibrin   insoluble threads of protein that form a meshwork at sites of injury that entrap blood cells and platelets forming blood clots  
🗑
fibrinogen   large proteins synthesized in liver that functions in blood coagulation  
🗑
Globulin   3 proteins synthesized in the liver and lymphatic tissue and are important in the transport of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins and immunity  
🗑
Hematocrit   proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. 48% for men. 38% for women  
🗑
Hemoglobin   oxygen carrying portion of erythrocyte  
🗑
carbaminohemoglobin   CO2 rich blood  
🗑
leukocytes   neutophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes  
🗑
Thrombocytes   platelets  
🗑
Plasma   clear, straw-colored liquid containing water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, hormones, exectrolytes, cellular wastes.  
🗑
Electrolytes   sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate, sulfate  
🗑
Heme   a component of the erythrocyte, located in the lungs  
🗑
Hormones   regulate most body functions.  
🗑
Colloid Osmotic Pressure   Pressure is drawn into the capillaries. The presence of large proteins in the capillaries creates an area of lower fluid concentration than in the interstitial spaces.  
🗑
Hyrdrostatic Pressure   The pressure in the capillaries resulting from the action of the heart.  
🗑
Erythrocyte   Live for 120 days. Damaged cells are destroyed in the liver by macrophage.  
🗑
Erythropoietin   Released during periods of low oxygen. Stimulates Erythrocyte production.  
🗑
Iron   major component of hemoglobin.  
🗑
Bilirubin   orange pigment resulting from the breakdown of hemoglobin. Jaundice is an excess of this in the blood stream.  
🗑
eosinophils   may increase during parasitic infections  
🗑
Neutrophils   may increase in bacterial infections  
🗑
thrombocyte   platelet.  
🗑
Alpha and Beta Globulins   Synthesized in the liver. Transport lipids and fat-soluble vitamins.  
🗑
Gamma Globulins   Produced in lymphatic tissues. Type of antibody.  
🗑
Fibrinogens   Largest of proteins. Synthesized in liver. Functions in blood coagulation.  
🗑
Simple sugars   stored as glycogen or fat. basic resource for cell energy.  
🗑
Lipoproteins   proteins and liquids combined. Necessary to be transported through blood  
🗑
LDL   low density lipoproteins. major cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins.  
🗑
HDL   High density lipoproteins. Low proportion of lipids to proteins.  
🗑
Hemostasis   The stoppage of bleeding in a damaged blood vessel  
🗑
Coagulation   Prothrombin is converted to thrombin. Thrombin breaks fibrinogen into fibrin stands. Fibrin forms mesh. Platelets and erythrocytes caught in mesh form clot.  
🗑


   

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.
