F11Blood

BIO 202 A&P II

QuestionAnswer
percent of blood volume that is RBCs 47% +/- 5% males 42% +/- 5% females
plasma makes up what percent of blood? 55%
functions of blood 1. distribution 2. regulation 3. protection
volume that drops to support circulation shock
protection again... blood loss (clotting) and infection (antibodies, complement proteins, WBCs defend)
60% albumin 36% globulins 4% fibrinogen proteins produced by the liver carried in the plasma
water follows particles, holds water to keep in system osmosis
nitrogenous by products of metabolism, nutrients, electrolytes, resp. gases, hormones carried in the blood plasma
biconcave discs, anucleate, essentially no organelles, filled with hemoglobin for gas tx erythrocytes
blood viscosity increased, blood flows slow # of RBCs high
blood thins, and flows rapidly # of RBCs low
binds reversibly to oxygen hemoglobin
2 alpha and 2 beta chains protein globin
blood cell formation, from the red bone marrow of the axial skeleton, girdles and proximal epiphyses of humerus and femur hematopoiesis
gives rise to all formed elements hemocytoblasts (hematopoietic stem cells)
red blood cell production erythropoiesis
phases of RBC production 1. ribosome synthesis (protein factory) 2.hemoglobin accumulation 3. ejection of the nucleus and formation of reticulocytes then become mature erythrocytes
balance between RBC production and destruction depends on... hormonal controls and adequate supplies of iron, amino acids, and B vitamins
direct stimulus for erythropoiesis and released by the kidneys in response to hypoxia erythropoietin (EPO)
causes of hypoxia 1.hemorrhage or increased RBC destruction 2. insufficient hemoglobin 3. reduced availability of 02
enhances EPO production resulting in higher RBC counts in males testosterone
dietary requirements for erytheopoiesis 1. nutrients-AA, lipids, and carbs 2. iron 3. vitamin B12 and folic acid
macrophages engulf dying RBCs and send them... spleen
destruction of erythrocytes heme(iron) and globin (protein AA) are separated, iron is salvaged, heme is degraded to bilirubin, liver secretes bilirubin into the intestines, degraded pigment leaves the body in poop, globin is metabolized in AA
blood has abnormally low O2 carry capacity anemia
acute or chronic loss of blood hemorrhagic
RBCs rupture prematurely (hemoglobin abn, tx mismatched blood, severe infections) hemolytic anemia
destruction or inhibition of red bone marrow (drugs, chemo, radiation, or viruses) aplastic anemia
inadequate intake of iron-containing foods and impaired iron absorption iron-deficiency anemia
deficiency of vitamin B12 pernicious anemia
defective gene codes for abnormal hemoglobin sickle-cell anemia
excess of RBCs that increase blood viscosity polycythemia
results of polycythemia 1.polycythemia vera-bone marrow cancer 2. when less O2 is available (high altitude) or when EPO production increases 3. blood doping
site of infection or injury-tissues are involved give off chemical signals alert the cells where to go chemotaxis
follow chemical signals by crawling the cell space diapedesis
NEVER LET MONKEYS EAT BANANAS Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils (in order of %)
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils are all... granulocytes (-phil family)
most numerous WBCs and are polymorphonuclear leukocytes. lilac color cytoplasm, granules contain hydrolytic enzymes and defensins, phagocytize bacteria Neutrophils D:14 days LS:6hrs-days
red-staining bilobe nucleus,digest parasitic worms, modulators of the immune response(allergy and asthma) eosinophils D:14 days LS:5days
rarest WBC, large purplish-black geanules that contain histamine and others for inflammation Basophils D:1-7 days LS:hrs-days
it attracts other WBCs to an inflammation site area, area thats been damaged, release of histamine chemo-attractant
large, dark purple, circular nuclei, thin rim of blue cytoplasm, mostly in lymphoid tissue, crucial to immunity lymphocytes D:days-weeks LS:hrs-years
act against virus-infected cells and tumor cells T cells
give rise to plasma cells, which produce antibodies (factory) B cells
largest leukocyte, abundant pale-blue cytoplasm, dark purple-staining, U or kidney shaped nuclei Monocytes D:2-3 days LS:months
originates as a monocyte macrophages
small fragments of megakaryocytes, formation is regulated by thrombopoietin platelets
platelets contain... chemical signals, enzymes, growth factors.
2 cell lines of hemocytoblasts 1. myeloid 2. lymphoid
lymphoid hemocytoblasts produce... lymphocytes
myeloid hemocytoblasts produce... all other elements: eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, monocytes.
basic cell design, isn't committed to any cell yet. stem cells
fast series of reactions to stop bleeding 1. vascular spasm 2. platelet plug formation 3. coagulation (positive feedback system)
set of reactions to stop bleeding hemostasis
forming a plug that temporarily seals the break in vessel aggregating
enhance vascular spasm and more platelet aggregation serotonin and thromboxane
3 phases of coagulation 1. prothrombin activator is formed (intrinsic and extrinsic pathways) 2. prothrombin converted into thrombin (enzyme) 3. thrombin catalyzes the joining of fibrinogen to form fibrin mesh
steps of intrinsic pathway of coagulation (phase 1) platelets cling, PF is release by aggregated platelets, X (protein factor), to prothrombin activator
steps of extrinsic pathway of coagulation (phase 1) tissue factor, X (protein factor), to prothrombin activator
phase 2 of coagulation prothrombin >thrombin
phase 3 of coagulation fibrinogen (soluble)> fibrin (insoluble polymer) > cross-linked fibrin mesh
actin and myosin in platelets contract within 30-60 minutes for... clot retraction
steps of clot retraction (think stitches) platelets pull on the fibrin strands, squeezing serum from the clot, drawing the edges of cut together
removes unneeded clots when healing has occurred fibrinolyis
fibrin-digesting enzyme (clot buster) plasmin
effectively acts as an anticoagulant, preventing the clot from enlarging and thrombin from acting elsewhere fibrin
platelet adhesion is prevented by 1. smooth endothelial lining of blood vessels 2. antithrombic substances nitric oxide and prostacyclin secreted by endothelial cells
universal donor O
universal recipient AB
mismatches.. anti-Rh antibodies form if an Rh- individual receives Rh+ blood, second exposure to Rh+ blood will result in typical transfusion reaction
transfusion reaction antibodies attack and rupture the donors RBCs by clumping in small vessels hinders blood flow to tissues
ways to replace volume 1. normal saline or electrolyte solution 2. plasma explanders (albumin, dextran)
volume replacement restores adequate circulation but cannot replace O2-carrying capacity blood volume

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
