Question | Answer |
blood is powered by the action of what organ? | the heart |
4 functions of blood | 1) carries respiratory gases, 2) carries nutrients, 3) carries hormones, 4) regulates body temperature |
blood volume for males (in liters) | 5-6 liters |
blood volume for females (in liters) | 4-5 liters |
pH of blood | 7.35-7.45 |
viscosity of blood | 3.3-5.5 |
temperature of blood | 100.4 degrees F |
the liquid portion of blood | plasma |
plasma is about 90% ____ | water |
a primary plasma protein: controls osmotic pressure of the circulatory system | albumin |
a primary plasma protein: transport antibodies | globulins |
a primary plasma protein: blood clotting elements | fibrinogen |
three formed elements in blood | white blood cells, red blood cells, thrombocytes |
white blood cells are also known as | leukocytes |
red blood cells are also known as | erythrocytes |
thrombocytes are also known as | platelets |
5 types of white blood cells, in order from most to least prevalent | neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils |
this formed element is shaped like a biconcave disc | RBCs |
this formed element doesn't have any mitochondria | RBCs |
the most numerous of the formed elements | RBCs |
this formed element has no organelles or nuclei | RBCs |
RBC protein which carries oxygen | hemoglobin |
formed element which protects the body from infectious microorganisms | WBCs |
circulating leukocytes leave the capillaries | diapedesis |
type of leukocyte which has a granular-appearing cytoplasm | granulocytes |
type of leukocyte which does not have a granular cytoplasm | agranulocytes |
three granulocytic WBCs | neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils |
two agranulocytic WBCs | lymphocytes, monocytes |
most numerous WBC which functions to destroy bacteria | neutrophils |
WBC type which ends allergic reactions, attacks parasitic infections | eosinophils |
WBC type which secretes histamines, and function in inflammation mediation-start the allergic reaction response and mediate the inflammation | basophils |
most important cells of the immune system, act against a specific antigen (specific resistance) | lymphocytes |
two main classes of lymphocytes | T cells, B cells |
type of lymphocyte which attacks foreign cells directly | T cells |
type of lymphocyte which multiplies to become plasma cells | B cells |
the largest of the leukocytes (WBCs), transform into phagocytic macrophages | monocytes |
formed element which function as clotting cells | thrombocytes |
a clotting substance (associated with thrombocytes) | thrombin |
an anti-clotting substance (associated with thrombocytes) | antiprothrombin |
the process by which blood cells are formed | hematopoiesis |
the site of blood cell formation | bone marrow |
all blood cells arise from one cell type: | the blood stem cell |
this stem cell type gives rise to lymphocytes | lymphoid stem cells |
this stem cell type gives rise to all other blood cell types (excluding lymphocytes): | myeloid stem cells |
