Question
Answer
Function of Blood   Distribution, regulates temperature, pH levels and fluid volume, protection  
🗑
Characteristics of Blood   Blood is fluid tissue, has a metallic taste because of the iron, viscous, males average more blood than females (5-6L vs 4-5L)  
🗑
Composition of Blood   Plasma and formed elements  
🗑
formed elements in the blood   Erythrocytes (RBC), Leukocytes (WBC) and platelets  
🗑
Hematocrit   percent of RBC in total blood volume. males-47%, females-42%  
🗑
Centrifuge   separates Red blood cells and plasma, <1% of whole blood is platelets and leukocytes (WBC)  
🗑
Blood Plasma   90% water, contains > 100 different dissolved solutes; Plasma bodies, organic nutrients, electrolytes and respiratory gases.  
🗑
How does O2 and CO2 travel?   By attaching to RBC or by dissolving in plasma  
🗑
formed elements in the blood   Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. (most survive in the bloodstream for only a few days)  
🗑
Hematopoeisis   RBC can't since replicate since they have no nucleus. They are produced by cell division in red bone marrow. (1oz of new blood a day)  
🗑
Function of RBC-erythrocytes   main function is transportation of respiratory gases, efficient carrier or O2 since it doesn't have any organelles that use it up. contains 97% hemoglobin, whose structure contains iron and O2 binds to iron.  
🗑
Hemoglobin   Heme-pigmented part, contains iron (4 heme in 1 hemoglobin), globin- protein part. For every 1 heme there will be 1 O2 molecule, so 1 hemoglobin=4 O2 molecules  
🗑
Erythropoietin (hormone)   increases formation of new red blood (controls erythropoiesis), released by kidney  
🗑
Erythropoiesis   stem cell> committed cell> hemoglobin forms>reticulocyte leaves bone marrow to mature in blood stream, maturing happens in the blood stream  
🗑
Destruction of RBC   live 120 days, macrophages in spleen, liver and bone marrow destroy RBC, globin breaks it does into amino acids and is reused, heme breaks down bilirubin(yellow) into stercobilin(brown)  
🗑
Erythrocyte Disorder: anemia   blood O2 cannot support normal metabolism. Caused by lowered RBCs, lower Hemoglobin per RBC ration or abnormal hemoglobin (sickle cell)  
🗑
Leukocytes (WBCs)   Only formed element that is a complete cell, make up <1% of blood volume, and unlike RBC who only stay in blood stream, WBC's leave the bloodstream and can travel into tissue. Two types granulocytes and agranulocytes  
🗑
Granulocytes   contain granules which contain enzymes, there are neutrophils, Eosinophils and Basophils.  
🗑
Neutrophils   Multi-lobed nucleus, two types of granules and stains, both a acidic and basic, protect against bacteria and some fungi  
🗑
Eosinophils   Bi-lobed nucleus, acid stain, counterattack agains parasistic worms and lessen the severity of allergies  
🗑
Basophils   basic stain, release histamine-causes vasodilation (vessel dilation) and attract WBC to inflamed site  
🗑
Agranulocytes   no ganules; lymphocytes and monocytes  
🗑
Lymphocytes   T lymphocytes destroy infected cells and B lymphocytes produce antibodies  
🗑
Monocytes   becomes macrophage, activates B and T lymphocytes  
🗑
Order of most abundant to least abundant of leukocytes   Neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, Eosinophil and basophil  
🗑
Platelets (Thrombocytes)   cell fragments, plugs damages vessels and initiates blood clotting  
🗑
Human blood groups   A, B, AB (universal recipient), O (universal donor). distinguished by antigens and antibodies  
🗑
antigens   markers on the surface of a cell (receptors) Ex. Type A cell contains a antigen A  
🗑
antibodies   proteins that travel in the plasma that mark foreign blood cells for destruction. Type A cell contains anti-B antibodies  
🗑
type AB   Surface antigens A and B, and neither anti-A nor anti- B antibodies  
🗑
type O   No antigens, has anti-A and anti-B antibodies  
🗑
RH blood groups   Presence of Rh antigen on RBC's is indicated as RH+, Rh antibodies form in Rh- individuals only after exposure. Ex. Type A+ contains anti-b antigens and Rh antigens  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
