Question
Answer
plasma is made of 90% of what?   water  
🗑
the color of plasma   straw-colored  
🗑
blood is composed of   plasma 55% and cells(formed elements? 45%  
🗑
3 main formed elements   red blood cells,white blood cells, platelets  
🗑
RBC's main function   carries oxygen to all the cells  
🗑
this gives blood its red color   hemoglobin  
🗑
another name for red blood cells   erythrocytes  
🗑
anemia   decrease in the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood.  
🗑
excessive or abnormal increase in the number of erythrocytes   polycythemia  
🗑
another name for white blood cells   leukocytes  
🗑
blood cell formation is called   hematopoesis  
🗑
never let monkeys eat bananas is a phrase to help remember what?   neutrophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,esonophils,basophils  
🗑
normal range of hemoglobin   12-18g  
🗑
abnormally shaped hemoglobin   sickle cell anemia  
🗑
leukocytosis   white count above 11,000, usually indicates infection  
🗑
leukopenia   abnormally low leukocyte levels  
🗑
leukemia   bone marrow becomes cancerous, turns out excess WBC  
🗑
neutrophils   function as phagocytes at active sites of infection  
🗑
eosinophils   function to kill parasitic worms and and a role in allergy atttacks  
🗑
basophils   release histamine at sites of inflammation  
🗑
lymphocytes   functions as part of the immune response  
🗑
monocytes   important in fighting chronic infection  
🗑
hematopoiesis takes place here   red bone marrow  
🗑
erythrocyte production   rate is controlled by a hormone called erythropoietin.  
🗑
erythropoietin   kidneys produce most erythropoietin as response to reduced oxygen levels in the blood  
🗑
formation of WBC's and platelets   colony stimulating factors and interleukins prompt bone marrow to generate leukocytes  
🗑
thrombopoietin   stimulates production of platelets  
🗑
3 phases of hemostasis   vascular spasms, platelet plug formation, coagulation  
🗑
vascular spasms   vasoconstriction causes blood vessel to spasms, spasms narrow the blood vessel, decreasing the blood loss  
🗑
platelet plug formation   collagen fibers are exposed by a break in a blood vessel, platelets become sticky and cling to fibers, anchored platelets release chemicals to attract more platelets and then the plug is formed.  
🗑
coagulation   injured tissues release tissue factor(TF), PF3 interacts with TF to trigger a clotting cascade, prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin., fibrin forms a clot  
🗑
amount of time it takes blood to clot   average 3-6 minutes  
🗑
thrombus   a clot in an unbroken blood vessel  
🗑
embolus   a thrombus that breaks away and floats freely in the blood stream.  
🗑
thrombocytopenia   platelet deficiency  
🗑
hemophilia   normal clotting factors are missing, hereditary bleeding disorder  
🗑
AB blood   has A and B antigens and no antibodies  
🗑
B blood   B antigen and antibodies A  
🗑
A blood   A antigens and B antibodies  
🗑
O blood   no antigens and antibodies A and B  
🗑
