Fibrinogen facts | plasma protein 4%, produced in the liver, forms the foundation of the clot, when done in a test tube remaining liquid is a SERUM |
Formed Elements | RBCs, WBCs, Thrombocytes, Hematopoiesis (production of blood cells) |
What is a HEMOCYTOBLAST | Stem Cell in the bone marrow from which the 7 different cells lines develop |
What is a RETICULOCYTE | Immature RBC erythrocyte |
ERYTHROCYTE characteristics | Most numerous, F=4-5.5; M=4.5-6.2 million RBCs, Mature RBC no nucleus (anucleate)dev from red bone marrow, Xports 02 and lesser extend CO2 |
Hemoglobin characteristics | 1/3 of each RBC, 2 parts: Heme: pigment contains Iron and Globin: protein |
Erythropoietic factor | stimulates RBC production |
Intrinsic Factor | Produced by the stomach, Needed for absorption of B12 in intestine, (if not absorbed results in Pernicious Anemia) |

Diapedesis (WBC) | WBCs moving through capillary walls into tissue spaces |
Types of WBCs (leukocytes)5 | Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Thrombocytes |
Neutrophils | first WBC to respond to tissue damage (injury) 50-70% |
Eosinophils | Neutralizes Histamines, destroys paracitic worms |
Basophils | S-Shaped, Secretes histamine & Heparin |
Histamines do what | Dialates blood vessels, increases blood flow to damaged tissues, dilates blood vessels in allergic reactions |

Pulmonary Vessels transport from | Right Ventricle to LUNGS and back to Left Atrium |
Systemic Vessels carry blood from | Left Ventricle to all parts of the body then return it to Right Atrium |
Arterioles | microscopic arteries |
Artery Wall consists of: | Tunic Externa, Tunic Media, Tunic Intimia |
Why do Arteries have higher pressure? | They carry O2 to tissue organs |
Capillaries characterists | RBCs must go single file, Smallest & most numerous of the blood vessels, form a connection to Vessels that carry blood away from the heart (ARTERIES) and Vessels that return blood to the heart (VEINS) |
Vessles that Carry blood TO the Heart | VEINS |
Vessles that Carry blood AWAY from the heart | ARTERIES |
Why are capillary walls thin | to allow exchange of materials between the blood in the capillary & adjacent tissue cells |
Veins characteristics | Carry blood TOWARD the heart, have venous (lower pressure due to one way) valves, can hold more blood 70% of blood volume, have 3 layers, but less smooth muscle & conn tissue making vein walls thinner and less rigid than arteries. |
Pulmonary Circuit (circulatory pathways) | Xports blood from Right side of the heart to the lungs (then returns it to the left side of the heart), Poor 02, |
Systemic Circuit (circulatory pathways) | Provides blood supply to all body tissues, Carries 02 & nutrients to cells, picks up C02 & waste products, Carries 02 blood FROM Left Ventricle thru arteries to the caps in the tissues, from tissue caps, de02 blood returns thru system of Veins to R atrium |
