blood Flashcards
cells and derivatives of blood
erythrocytes
leukocytes
thrombocytes
blood composition
45 % cell
55 % plasma
plasma vs. serum
plasma: has fibrinogen (coagulation is inhibited)
serum: lacks fibrinogen (coagulated blood)
hematocrit
volume of RBC in blood
main plasma proteins
albumin
globulin
fibrinogen
albumin
has huge osmotic pressure –> major, smallest plasma protein
produced in liver
globulin
immunoglobulins:
-antibodies
-plasma cells secrete them
nonimmune globulins:
-secreted by liver
-carrier substances
____ carries Cu
____ carries Fe
____ carries O2, CO2
ceruloplasmin carries Cu
transferrin carries Fe
hemoglobin carries O2, CO2
fibrinogen
largest plasma protein
produced in liver
fibrinogen –> fibrin
to prevent clotting, ____ can be used.
citrate, heparin, EDTA
blood examination is done with ____ to produce single layer of cells
blood smear
to examine blood which stains are used?
Giemsa
Wright’s
not H&E
eryhtrocytes have ____ shape, they ____ nucleus, their diameter is ____, stain ______
bioconcave disc
lack
7-8 µm
uniformly with eosin : center is pale due to its shape
stacked RBCs are called
Rouleaux formation
integral membrane proteins of RBC
glycophorins
Band 3
function of glycophorins in RBC
attach cytoskeletal elements to cell membrane
form blood group antigens
Band 3
anion transporter : faciliate exchange for CO2
binds to Hb
in RBC, peripheral membrane proteins form a ______
inner hexagonal lattice
spectrin, actin, adducin, band 4.1, band 4.9
hereditary spherocytosis
alteration of spectrin
spheric RBC
destroyed by macrophages in spleen –> causing hemolytic anemia
