Ch 12 Flashcards
the parts of blood plasma
- water
- ions
- proteins
- dissolved gases
- nutrient molecules
- antibody proteins
- albumin
- globulins
- fibrinogen
- most abundant carbohydrate –> glucose
- most abundant protein –> albumin
- complement = helps in immunity
what are the antigen and protein function in blood
a substance that binds to specific antibodies, which in the human body are used to find and neutralize any potentially harmful foreign substances in the bloodstream
antogens cause specific protiens to bind to them
what is hemoglobin and what elements are in hemoglobin
Hemoglobin contains iron, which allows it to pick up oxygen from the air we breathe and deliver it everywhere in the body.
where are blood cells formed
in the bone marrow
define red blood cells and its components ie hematocrit, hemoglobin
erythrocytes
it has no nucleus
immature - erythroblast
hemoglobin plays a role in
define white blood cells and it’s components
- basophil
- monocytes
- ## neutrophil
what happens when blood vessels contract
blood flow is slowed/blocked
the steps and components of clot formation and clotting factors
necessary for preventing blood loss from damaged vessels
- substances release which initiate prothrombinase to convert prothrombin to thrombin
- thrombin turns fibrinogen into fibrin
- fibrin is the threads that forms the plug/clot
what are the blood types and which blood types have certain antigens which blood types could be infused
hemorrhage
an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel, especially when profuse
what is anemia and what contributes to it
Anemia occurs when the blood doesn’t have enough hemoglobin or red blood cells. This can happen if: The body doesn’t make enough hemoglobin or red blood cells. Bleeding causes loss of red blood cells and hemoglobin faster than they can be replaced. It is mainly caused by iron deficiency
- cause by iron deficiency or hemolytic
the word parts for blood
hem/o
hemat/o
total volume of blood in the body
12.-1.5 gallons
8% of total body weight
75 l/kg male
65 l/kg female
about 5l in blood in us
what kind of tissue is blood considered
connective tissue
what blood types can be infused with what blood types
