blank tissue does not grow back
brain
blank output is the volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute
cardiac
blank increases during exertion because of an increase in both heart rate and stroke volume
cardiac output
the blood consists of blank which is the matrix
plasma
blank is the second biggest part of blood
red blood cells
blank is the third biggest part of blood
platelets
blank is the smallest part of blood
white blood cells
three functions of circulating blood
transportation, regulation and protection
plasma is blank percent water
92
five solutes in plasma
nutrients, wastes, hormones, ions, proteins
plasma is called blank when proteins are removed
serum
blank are also called red blood cells
erythrocytes
red blood cells of vertebrates contain blank
hemoglobin
a pigment that binds and transports oxygen
hemoglobin
these cells in blood are larger than erythrocytes and have nuclei and can migrate out of capillaries
leukocytes
cell fragments that pinch off from larger cells in the bone marrow
platelets
function in the formation of blood clots
platelets
all of the formed elements of blood develop from blank stem cells
pluripotent
blank is blood cell production
hematopoiesis
red blood cell production is called blank
erythropoiesis
maintaining blank balance involves taking and giving water to/from the environment and exchanging solutes which maintains blank
osmotic, homeostasis
the measure of a solution’s tendency to take in water by osmosis
osmotic pressure
the measure of a solution’s ability to change the volume of a cell by osmosis
tonicity
three types of tonicity
hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic
