female; fresher blood

77
Q

takes up a good portion of RBC

A

hemoglobin

78
Q

why is hemoglobin in RBC important

A

carries O2 and CO2 (transport)

79
Q

structure of hemoglobin

A

one globin and 4 heme

80
Q

globin

A

globular protein

81
Q

heme

A

polypeptide chains (multiple amino acids); iron-containing pigment

82
Q

where is iron in RBC

A

in the heme in hemoglobin

83
Q

how does 98% of ALL oxygen arrive in body

A

heme by plasma

84
Q

how many oxygen molecules in hemoglobin

A

each heme has one and 4 heme in hemoglobin so 4 oxygen

85
Q

how much oxygen in ONE RBC

A

1.1 BILLION

86
Q

oxy-hemoglobin

A

oxygen is in heme; O2 is in blood so blood is bright red

87
Q

Deoxy-hemoglobin

A

O2 is not in blood so blood is dark red/bluish

88
Q

is hemoglobin the main way CO2 is transported

A

NO

89
Q

Main way CO2 is transported

A

by attaching to bicarbonate (buffer)}

90
Q

Carbamino-hemoglobin

A

CO2 is bound and on hemoglobin in RBC

91
Q

carbonic anhydrase (optional)

A

enzyme in RBC that helps reaction btwn CO2 and H2O occur faster

92
Q

erythropoiesis

A

making RBC in red bone marrow

93
Q

what happens to our RBC when we are oxygen deficient

A

we make more RBC

94
Q

hemocytoblast

A

stem cell that is SLIGHTLY differentiated (blood cell)

95
Q

steps of formation of RBC from marrow to blood

A

hemocytoblast–> reticulocyte–> RBC

96
Q

reticulocyte

A

cell that is released into blood

97
Q

cell thats released into blood

A

reticulocyte

98
Q

what does it mean it you’re lacking reticulocytes

A

anemia, kidney disease

99
Q

why does low reticulocytes indicate might be kidney disease

A

bc kidney makes urine AND hormone called erythropoietin that tells us to make RBC

100
Q

erythropoietin

A

hormone in kidney (also found in liver) that tells us to make RBC

101
Q

what tells us to make RBC

A

hormone called erythropoietin

102
Q

hypoxia

A

when body doesn’t have enough oxygen

103
Q

4 things that can cause hypoxia

A

hemorrhage (uncontrolled bleeding), inadequate breathing, high altitude, anemia

104
Q

2 different ways of production of RBC (specifically due to hypoxia)

A

liver/kidney–> inactive erythropoietin–> erythropoietin–> hemocytoblast–> increase RBC–> increase 02–> negative feedback: kidney

105
Q

4 causes of anemia

A

lack of: iron, amino acids, folic acid, or vitamin B12

106
Q

how would lack of amino acids cause anemia

A

affect globulin formation (globular protein (amino acid))

107
Q

how would lack of iron cause anemia

A

heme formation (iron in heme to carry 02)

108
Q

destruction of RBC

A

hemoglobin–> heme and globin–> heme (porphyrin and iron)

109
Q

2 things that heme gets broken down into

A

porphyrin and iron

110
Q

2 different fates of porphyrin (hemoglobin in RBC–> heme–> porphyrin)

A

either dig tract (sternocolbilin) or go to kidney (urobilin)

111
Q

What is responsible for color of our feces and urine

A

destruction of RBC; hemoglobin–> heme and glob in
heme–> porphyrin and iron
porphyrin–> dig tract (feces=sternocolbin) or kidney (uroblin)

112
Q

two fates of iron

A

binds to transferrin then either goes to red bone marrow to remake heme or goes to liver for storage

113
Q

what happens to globin in the destruction of RBC

A

gets broken down into amino acids, released into blood, and later used for protein synthesis

114
