Q

Hemoglobin

A

helps with PH balance
- RBCs are filled with Hemoglobin
- Hemoglobin is an iron-containing pigment that carries 02 and c02
- Carries Hydrogen ions

18
Q

1st cell to make blood is called

A

“Multi-Potential Stem cell”

19
Q

Lymphoid stem cells & Myeloid Stem Produce what?

A

Lymphoid: Produce Lymphocytes
Myeloid: Produce everything else

20
Q

What is mineral needed for clotting

A

Calcium

21
Q

3 Steps of clotting

A

Prothrombinase > Prothrobin > Thrombin

22
Q

What does Thrombin convert to

A

Fibrinogen which convert into Fibrin

23
Q

Fibrin does what to form the clot

A

Trap RBCs and Platelets to form the clot

24
Q

Platelets does what?

A

Plug holes

25
Q

RBC Live

A

120 Days

26
Q

WBC Live

A

9 days

27
Q

Functions of the blood

A

Carries oxygen/nutrients to tissues.
Carries Hormones to organs
Hemostasis
Immunology

28
Q

In plasma

A

Albumin, clotting factors, antibodies, hormones, waste, drugs, glucose, lipids, vitamins, electrolytes

29
Q

Glucose

A

Source of energy

30
Q

Lipids

A

Reserve energy when glucose not available

31
Q

Rbc are filled with

A

Hemoglobin containing pigment that carries 02 & Co2

32
Q

What shape is Erythrocytes

A

Biconcave. change shape as it travels through cardiovascular

33
Q

Hemoglobin is iron containing that carries what?

A

Co2 & O2. And also carries hydrogen ions

34
Q

Hydrogen ions change the shape of..

A

Hemoglobin, making them less able to carry O2

35
Q

What happens if our blood can’t carry o2?

A

Hypoxia. lose energy. Cause organ damage.

36
Q

Ph not fixed

A

Cause hypoxic

37
Q

Neutrophils

A

Defense against bacterial infection

38
Q

Basophils

A

Phagocytosis during hypersensitive responses

39
Q

Eosinophils

A

Increase in allergies and parasitic infections

40
Q

Lymphocytes

A

Acquired immunity

41
Q

Monocytes

A

Largest WBC help w/ infections

42
Q

Myeloid stem cells produce

A

Everything else

43
Q

Lymphoid produce

A

lymphocytes

44
Q

Prothrombinase converts

A

Prothrombin> thrombin> calcium > thrombin change to Fibrinogen> Fibrin. Fibrin traps RBC to form the clot
