Q

What granular leucocytes are there?

A

Think granular= phil
Basophil (nucleus- no lube) - basic!
eosinophil (2 lubes) eu means true - true=2
neutrophil (3+ lubes) naturally it has more

Q

What are 5 functions of the blood?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Transport nutrient
  • Regulate pH
  • restrict fluid loss during injury
  • defense against pathogen + toxins
  • regulate body temperature
25
Whats hematopoiesis and what is needed for it?
Production of blood via hematopoietic stem cells
26
Where do you find hematopoietic stem cells?
osteoblasts
27
True or false- there are many hematopoietic stem cells
False- very little
28
How to check for hematopoietic stem cells?
CD34+ and CD38-
29
What process do hematopoietic stem cells undergo?
proliferation
30
Where does hematopoiesis occur in fetus?
0-2 month: yolk 2-7 month: liver 5-9 month: bone marrow
31
Where does hematopoiesis occur in infant?
bone marrow
32
Where does hematopoiesis occur in adult?
Rib, sternum, skull, vertebrae.....
33
True or false- in fetus hematopoiesis occurs in medullary place.
True! Medullary: bone marrow Extra medullary: out of bone marrow
34
What is the components of bone marrow?
Reticulum cell + fat cell + osteoclast + osteoblast + sinusoid (what has a MBB- marrow blood barrier which controls RBC)
35
Whats hemostasis?
Hemorrhage is asserted. | Has procoagulant + anticoagulant factors + fibrolysis (clot prevent itself)
36
What does coagulant mean?
blood formation
37
Whats needed for hemostasis?
Blood vessel, platelets, coagulation factors/inhibitors and fibronolysis
38
True or false- after collagen is exposed- vasodilation takes place.
False- vasoconstriction
39
What is platelets role in hemostasis?
``` 1- platelet adhesion (via protein von wille band factor) 2- Platelet activate 3- secreted from megakaryocyte 4- platelet aggregate 5- PRIMARY hemostatic plug ```
40
What are the three phases in hemostasis?
- platelets - vasoconstriction - blood coagulation cascade
41
Clotting factor is found in ___________
blood coagulation cascade
42
Where is endothelial cell?
It between blood and connective tissue and acts as a barrier
43
Whats the role of the endothelial in hemostasis? (hint: 4)
- Start coagulation - Cause vasodilation - stop platelet - activate fibrinolysis
44
How is blood coagulation inhibited?
Receptors- protein c bind and prepares: - antithrombin - tissue factor pathway inhibitor - protein s
45
Endothelial cell release ________ to initiate coagulation
tissue factor
46
Endothelial cell release ________ to initiate vasodilation
prostacyclin
47
True or false- Platelet have ATP
False- ADP + mitochondria
48
How are platelets formed?
Stem cell --> megakaryoblast --> megakaryocyte --> fragmentation = platelets
49
What is TPO?
Protein- thrombopoieton (stimulate protein production)
50
How is TPO level controlled?
Liver
51
Where can TPO bind?
Surface of megakaryocyte + platelet
52
True or false- if there is < platelet + megakaryocyte then TPL will decrease
False- if there is < platelet + megakaryocyte then TPL will INCREASE
53
Why should we test hemostasis function?
Abnormal bleeding means: - vascular disorder - platelet disorder - Defective blood coagulation
54
True or false- The only way test whether hemostasis functions properly is via blood count
False- screening tests can check cascade factors
55
What are the three blood cascade factor pathway?
intrinsic, extrinsic, common pathway
56
True or false- Checking platelet function + adhesion is another special test
True
