The blood

Matching exam

QuestionAnswer
The red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are blood components known as formed elements
The pH of blood is usually about 7.35 to 7.45
The blood albumins are made by the liver
The fluid portion of the blood is called the plasma
When the blood-clotting proteins are removed from the plasma, the plasma is then known as serum
Among the major ions transported by the blood are calcium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, and sodium
Those plasma proteins that contribute to the viscosity of the blood and are partly responsible for maintaining the constant pH of the blood are known as albumin proteins
The antibodies belong to a major group of plasma proteins known as globulin proteins
Approximately 7 percent of the plasma proteins consists of a liver-made blood-clotting proteins known as fibrinogen
The plasma proteins encourage the movement of water from the tissue fluids into the bloodstream; this process is known as osmosis
The major pigment that transports oxygen within red blood cells is hemoglobin
Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes
The number of red blood cells per microliter in an adult male is approximately 5.8 million
The shape of a red blood cells is that of a(n) biconcave disk
When a red blood cells shrinks in solutions that contain excessive solutes, the process is called crenation
When red blood cells swell and burst in solutions that contain low concentrations of solutes, the process is called hemolysis
Red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow through a process known as erythropoiesis
The percentage of centrifuged blood that is red blood cells is called the hematocrit
The two polypeptide chains of the hemoglobin molecule are known as alpha and beta chains
The iron-containing group of the hemoglobin molecule that binds to the oxygen molecules is known as heme group
When oxygen is bound to the hemoglobin molecule, the hemoglobin molecule is known as oxyhemoglobin
When carbon dioxide is bound to the hemoglobin molecule, the hemoglobin molecule is known as carboxyaminohemogoblin
The main portion of carbon dioxide is transported though the plasma disolved as bicarbonate ions
Red blood cells circulate in the human bloodsteam for approximately 120 days
All of the following are functions of the blood except it coordinates all the activities of the body cells
All of the following are characteristics of the blood except its pH varies between 6.2 and 6.7
Albumins, globulins, and fibrogen are three of the proteins present in the blood
The antibody molecules produced in the immune system belong to a group of proteins called gamma globulins
Which of the following characteristics applied to the red blood cell it has the shape of a biconcave disk
When red blood cells are placed in a solution that contains no solute, the red blood cells tend to swell
The squeezing of red blood cells from the one marrow into the capillaries is a process known as diapedesis
All of the following are found in the hemoglobin molecules except carbohydrate molecules
The major portion of carbon dioxide molecules is transported in the blood dissolved in plasma as bicarbonate ions
Old and damaged red blood cells are broken down in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow
Bilirubin is a bile pigment formed from the breakdown of hemoglobin
Pernicious anemia is related to a(n) lack of vitamin B12 in the body
Sickle cell anemia is derived from a (n) defect traced to the genes of the body
The primary cells of the body's immune system are the B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes
Approximately 6 to 8 percent of the white blood cells consist of large, angranular phagocytic cells known as monocytes
An overpopulation of white blood cells is a characteristic of a form of cancer known as leukemia
The primary function of the white blood cells in the body is in body defense
The clotting protein called prothrombin is manufactured in the liver
When red blood cells swell and burst in solutions that contain low concentrations of solutes, the process is called hemolysis
Red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow through a process known as erythropoiesis
The percentage of centrifuged blood that is red blood cells is called the hematocrit
The two polypeptide chains of the hemoglobin molecule are known as alpha and beta chains
The iron-containing group of the hemoglobin molecule, that binds to the oxygen molecules is known as heme group
When oxygen is bound to the hemoglobin molecule, the hemoglobin molecule is known as oxyhemoglobin
When carbon dioxide is bound to the hemoglobin molecule, the hemoglobin molecule is known as carboxyaminohemogoblin
The main portion of carbon dioxide is transported though the plasma disolved as bicarbonate ions
Red blood cells circulate in the human bloodsteam for approximately 120 days
All of the following are functions of the blood except it coordinates all the activities of the body cells
All of the following are characteristics of the blood except its pH varies between 6.2 and 6.7

Approximately 6 to 8 percent of the white blood cells consist of large, angranular phagocytic cells known as monocytes
An overpopulation of white blood cells is a characteristic of a form of cancer known as leukemia
The primary function of the white blood cells in the body is in body defense
The clotting protein called prothrombin is manufactured in the liver
Which of the following is a specific reaction in the extrinsic pathway of blood clotting prothrombin is converted to thrombin
The accumulation of cholesterol along the inner walls of the blood vessels can lead to a condition called atherosclerosis
A person who has a blood type A may donate blood to a person who has blood type A or blood type AB
A person who has blood type B may receive blood from a person who has blood type B or blood type O
Hemolytic disease of the newborn may develop when the father is Rh-positive and the mother is Rh-negative
To prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn from occurring in succeeding pregnancies, shortly after the birth of a child a woman is given an injection of anti-Rh antibodies
The number of red blood cells per microliter in an adult female is 4.8 million
After breakdown, the hemoglobin pigment of red blood cells is first converted to a bilverdin
The production of red blood cells is regulated by a hormone known as erythropoietin
A lack of vitamin B12 may result in a condition known as prenicious anemia
Such things as X-rays and drugs may prevent the production of red blood cells, a condition called aplastic anemia
A genetic defect encoding génes for hemoglobin may lead to crystallization of the hemoglobin and a deformity of the red blood cells to a C-shape. This is the disease known as sickle cell anemia
When the body fails to synthesize one or more of the polypeptide chains of hemo globin within fragile red blood cells, the condition that results is called thalassemia
An alternative name for white blood cells is leukocytes
A normal adult has a white blood cell count per cubic microliter that numbers about 7000
The white blood cells develop within the red bone marrow
Neutrophils and basophils are types of white blood cells known as granulocytes
Lymphocytes and monocytes have no granules in their cytoplasm and are there fore known as agranulocytes
The principal function of the neutrophil is phagocytosis
The granules of the eosinophil stain with acidic dyes and appear red
The percentage of the total white blood count that is basophils is approximately 1 percent
The lymphocytes control the body system known as the immune system
When the monocytes enter the tissue environment, they change into large phagocytic cells called macrophages
Antibodies are prodaced by white blood cells known as! lympocytes
leukopenia
Blood platelets are prøduced in the red bone marrow by large cells called megakaryocytes
A mass of platelets and collagen fibers that patch a hole in a blood vessel is known as a(n) platelet plug
In the intrinsic pathway, an important factor that initiates the chemical pathway is called Factor XII

The substance thrombin is responsible for activating the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin
The accumulation of cholesterol substances within the inner wall of a blood vessel encourages a condition called atherosclerosis
A condition in which a blood clot moves from one part of the body to another is known as a(n) embolism
