Erythrocytes that constitute up to 37-52% of blood volume.
What does the left side of the heart do?
Receives oxygen from the lungs.
What does the right side of the heart do?
Takes blood from the body and sends it to the lungs.
What is in Plasma?
- HCO3-
- Nutrients
- Albumen
What is Colloid Osmotic Pressure (COP)?
A pressure exerted by proteins (albumin) and tends to pull water into the circulatory system.
How many oxygen molecules can Hemoglobin hold?
4.
Facts about Blood Typing.
- 2 genes
- IA - Type A Agglutinogen
- IB - Type B Agglutinogen
- ii - O type
- IAB - Type AB Agglutinogen
Neutrophil Facts.
- Most abundant WBCs
- 1st to stage
- Phagocytize bacteria
- 3-5-lobed nucleus
Eosinophil Facts.
- Bilobed nucleus
- Larval toxin
- Phagocytize antigen antibodies complex (allergies)
- Respiratory burst
Basophil Facts.
- Degranulate
- Produce Histamine
- Produces Heparin
What does Histamine do?
Promote inflammation-swelling (Vasodilator).
What is Heparin?
An anticoagulant that inhibits blood clotting to promote mobility of other WBCs.
What are the two general groups of Agranulocytes?
- Monocytes
- Lymphocytes
What are the 3 Granulocytes that specific granules in their cytoplasm?
- Neutrophils
- Eosinophils
- Basophils
Lymphocyte Facts.
- B cells
- T cells
- NKC (Natural Killer Cell)
Monocyte Facts.
- In Tissue
- Turns into Macrophage (Antigen presenting cell)
- Large cell with dimpled nucleus
- Big Eaters (25% of own volume in an hour)
- Phagocytes pathogens, dead neutrophils, and debris of dying or dead cells
What do Epitopes do?
Illicit an immune response to the rest of the body.
What is Leukopoiesis?
The production of white blood cells.
How does Coagulation (Clotting) get started?
It is initiated by platelets.
What is the first step of Coagulation and what are some facts about it?
- Vascular Spasm
- Pain nerve endings
- Cause vasoconstriction
- Platelets->Seratonin->Vasoconstriction
What is the second step of Coagulation and what are some facts about it?
- Platelet Plug
- Platelets stick to collagen and block bleeding
- Pull connective tissue and fibers to help seal off injured area
What is the third step of Coagulation and what are so facts about it?
- Coagulation
- Extrinsic Mechanism -> Uses Thromboplastin
- Intrinsic -> Slow moving blood
What does Factor X do?
Activates the Thrombin Enzyme.
What does Thrombin Enzyme do?
Cuts fibrinogen into shorter strands of fibrin.
What is Extrinsic Mechanism?
Clotting of blood by factors released by damaged blood vessels and perivascular tissues.
What is Intrinsic Mechanism?
Clotting of blood by using factors found within the blood itself.
