chpt 11- blood Flashcards
packed cell volume or haematocrit is known as
the % of erythrocytes in total blood volume
- Buffy coat + erythrocytes
why is the packed cell volume at the bottom of a tube
most dense
what causes density of hematocrit
Hb
what % of plasma is water
90%, allows it to hold and distribute heat
how much of the plasma weight is taken up by plasma proteins
6-8%
what establishes colloid P gradient b/w blood and isf
plasma proteins
proteins found in plasma are
albumins
globulins
fibrinogen
what gives RBC an increased sa for diffusion of O2
bi-concave structure
do mature RBC have a nucleus, organelles or ribosomes
no
function of flexible membrane
prevents rupturing
name of pigment that contains iron
hemoglobin
meaning of red Hb
has Fe + oxygenated
4 different polypeptide =
globin
heme is
4 iron contain non-protein (prosthetic)
- bound to protein
flatten / changed shape of heme =
o2 is attached
what carries 98.5% O2
hb
what interactions with globin
CO2
function of NO x Hb
- vasodialtor
- binds with Hb in lungs
- helps with gas exchange + stabilize BP
name of erythrocyte enzymes
- glycolytic enzymes
- carbonic anhydrase
what enzyme is responsible for generating E needed to fuel active transport
glycolytic enzymes
carbonic anhydrase function
turns CO2 into HCO3-, which is how CO2 is transported in blood
how long do RBC survive
120days
name of hormone secreted by kidney when O2 levels decrease, to stimulate RBC production
erythropoietin
erythropoiesis =
process by which the red bone marrow creates new RBCs
which organ is responsible for removing old RBCS
spleen
pluripotent stem cells =
cells in bone marrow from which blood cells arise from
what does blood type depend on
the surface antigen presented on RNC
what types of blood related antibodies are based upon entry for foreign blood substance
rhesus factor
when do antibodies agaisnt foreign RBC appear in human plama
after 6 months
immune response/ rxn when antibody interacts with erythrocyte bound antigen is
a transfusion rxn
what happens to the foreign rbc during a transfusion rxn
- agglutination (clumping)
- haemolysis
having rh factor/ d antigen =
positive blood
what happens when the mom has a negative blood type and the baby has a positive blood type
mom makes antibodies aganists babies blood type
below normal O2 carrying capacity of blood is known as
anaemia
haematocrit below 30% =
anaemia
nutritional anaemia is
diet deficiency in Fe
- decreased Hb production
inability to absorb enough B12 cuz of a missing intrinsic factor is known as
pernicious anaemia
function of b12
NORMAL rbc production and maturation
aplastic anaemia is
bone marrow failure to produce RBCs
destruction of red bone marrow is caused by
toxic chemicals
radiation
cancer
decreased erythropoietin due to kidney diseases causes
renal failure anaemia
haemolytic anaemia is
the rupture of RBCs
malaria and sickle cell anaemia is an example of
haemolytic anaemia
increased haemocrite and too many circulating RBC is known as
polycythemia
