Question
Answer
Whole blood is made of what 2 key componets?   blood plasma 55% and formed elements 45%  
🗑
Blood plasma is made of what 3 componets?   protein 7%, water 91.5%, and other solutes 1.5%  
🗑
What are the 3 main proteins found in blood?   albumins 54%, globulins 38%, and fibrinogen 7%  
🗑
What are the 6 solutes commonly found in blood?   electrolytes, nutrients, gases regulatory substances, vitamins, and waste products  
🗑
What is the definition of a formed element?   red blood cells, WBC's, and platelets  
🗑
The 3 classes of a formed element are:   WBC, RBC, and platelets  
🗑
What are the 5 classes of white blood cells?   nuetrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils  
🗑
The relationship between the terms erthythocyte and erythropoesis   Near the end of erythropoiesis, an RBC precursor ejects its nucleus and becomes a reticulocyte. Erythrocytes contain hemoglobin and carry oxygen to blood.  
🗑
the relationship between reticulocytes and red blood cells   reticulocytes pass from red bone marrow into the bloodstream  
🗑
The role of nuetrophil   injest other cells  
🗑
The role of monocyte   replinish macrophages and move quickly  
🗑
The role of eosinphil   protect body  
🗑
The role of basophil   prevent blood clot and promotes blood flow to tissues  
🗑
The role of B, T and natural killer cells   B-make antibodies t-protects and reacts to immune system  
🗑
What is hemostasis?   A sequence of responses that stops bleeding when blood vessels are injured.  
🗑
What are the 3 methods of reduction of blood loss?   vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and blood clotting  
🗑
What is a hemorrhage?   the loss of a large amount of blood from the vessels  
🗑
How do platelet plug formation aid in hemostasis?   can stop bleeding loss completely if the hole in a blood vessel is small enough  
🗑
How does vascular spasm aid in hemostasis?   reduces blood loss for several minuntes to hours during which time the other hemostatic mechanisms begin to operate.  
🗑
How does clotting aid in hemostasis?   prevents blood loss  
🗑
What is the difference between a thrombus and an embolus?   A thrombus is the clot itself and an embolus is a piece of debris transported by the bloodstream  
🗑
What is a pulmonary embolism and why is one dangerous?   The embolus ro become lodges in the lungs. May result in death.  
🗑
What makes one blood group different from another?   the presence or absence if various isoantigens  
🗑
How is type A blood different from type B blood?   Type A-antigen A Type B-antigen B  
🗑
How is type AB blood different from types A and B?   both antigen A and B  
🗑
What does an anti-A antibody do? What does an anti-B antibody do?   Antibody A; A antigens on surface of your RBC Antibody B; plasms in blood stream  
🗑
Who has an anti-B antibody? who does not?   type A, and AB has it. Type O and B doesnt.  
🗑
Who has an anti-B antibody? who does not?   type B and AB has it. Type O and A doesnt.  
🗑
What happends in an incompatible blood transfusion?   antibodies in the recipientd plasma bind to tge antigens on the donated RBC's.  
🗑
What is the differnce between RH+ and RH- blood?   RH+ have RH antigen (positive) RH- lack RH antigen (negative)  
🗑
What is anemia and whar are the symptoms of anemia?   a condition in which the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced. symptoms: fatigue, cold, pale skin,  
🗑
What is the cause of iron-deficiency anemia?   inadequate absorbstion of iron, excessive loss of iron, or insufficiant intake of iron  
🗑
What is the cause of pernicious anemia?   insufficiant hemopoiesis resulting from an inability of the stomach to produce intrinsic factor  
🗑
What is the cause of hemorrhagic anemia?   excessive loss of RBC's through bleeding resulting from large wounds  
🗑
What is the cause of hemolytic anemia?   inherited defects or from outside agents such as parasites, toxins, or antibodies  
🗑
What is the thalassemia?   populations from countries bordering Med. Sea  
🗑
What is the cause of aplastic anemia?   destruction of the red bone marrow caused by toxins, gamma radiation, and certain medications that inhabit enzymes needed for hemopoisis  
🗑
What are the causes and symtoms of sickle cell anemia?   When HBS given up oxygen to the intersitial fluid, it forms long, stiff, rodlike structures that bend the erythocyte into a sickle shape.  
🗑
What are the causes and symtoms of hemophilia?   blood clotting factors, inherited deficiancy of clotting in which bleeding may occur.  
🗑
What are the causes and symtoms of leukemia?   accumilation of immature leukocytes  
🗑
Reticylocyte   Counting the volume of reiculocytes in a same of blood- meausures rate of erthtopoesis  
🗑
