waste gets excreted through the __ | kidney |
in transportation, what happens? | oxygen & nutrients gets delivered to the body tissues |
when waste gets removed, hormones are transported from the __ to ___ | endocrine cells -> target organs |
what is the function of hemoglobin? | transports respiratory gases |
maintaining body temperature, regulating blood pH, fluid volume & heat loss/distribution is apart of __ | regulation |
when the blood vessels are damaged __ and __ initiate clot formation | plasma & platelets |
blood is composed of: | plasma & formed elements |
this is the liquid portion that counts for 55% of the blood. | plasma |
hemoglobin binds to __ | oxygen |
formed elements arise from hematopoietic cells in __ | bone marrow |
RBC's make up__ of the blood | 45% |
the proteins of plasma: | albumin, globulin & fibrogen |
fibrogen helps with__ | clotting |
globulin | immune response |
albumin is is control of: | locking fluid in |
the plasma consists of: | proteins. nutrients, electrolytes, respiratory gases & hormones |
___ blood cells can go through the blood vessels easily | red |
what protein makes RBC's red? | hemoglobin |
this results from single amino acid change in beta chain of hemoglobin. | sickle cell anemia |
__ binds easily and is reversible to oxygen | hemoglobin |
the stage in erythrocyte development when the nucleus is lost. | reticuloyte |
heme has __ in it. this is why it can bind to __ | has iron - oxygen |
globin | amino acids |
red blood cells main function is: | oxygen transport |
hypoxic means: | low oxygen |
this type of blood cell has no nucleus & no organelles. | RBC's |
___ enhances the release of EPO. this is the reason why males have a higher __ | testoreone - hematocrit |
RBC's has a __ structure | quarternary |
how many oxygen molecules can be transported by 1 hemoglobin molecule? | 4 |
polycthemia | too many RBC's |
when enough blood cells aren't getting produced, it is referred to as: | anemia |
what is hematocrit? | percentage of red blood cells in the blood |
polycythemia vera is | bone marrow cancer |
polycthemia ___ viscosity of the blood | increases |
a buffy coat is ___ and is located __ | a layer of white blood cells - between the RBC's and plasma |
white blood cells known as (leukocytes) helps the body: | fight infection (immune system) |

this leukocyte attack parasitic worms | eosinophil |
with this type of leukocyte, numbers increase during an allergic reaction. | eosinophil |
monocytes contain: | macrophages |
lympocytes | immune system |
___ is stimulated from the bone marrow when oxygen is too low | EPO |
EPO formation can be triggered by: | iron deficiency, reduced availability to oxygen & reduced numbers of RBC's (due to bleeding or excessive RBC destruction) |
leukocytosis | when EBC count is over 11,000 |
