Q

repair system

A
  1. vasoconstriction by smooth muscle
  2. injury to lining of vessels exposes collagen fibers, to which platelets adhere
  3. platelets release chemicals that make nearby platelets sticky, plug forms
  4. fibrin forms a mesh that traps RBC’s and platelets
24
Q

thrombopoietin

A

regulates formation of platelets

25
Q

A

blood cell formation

26
Q

hematopoietic stem cells

A

all blood cells arise from

27
Q

erythropoiesis

A
  • red blood cell formation
  • red bone marrow
  • hematopoietic stem cells divide into pro-erythroblasts which will produce erythrocytes
28
Q

leukopoiesis

A
  • white blood cells formation

- stimulated by chemical messengers, interleukins and colony-stimulating factors (CSF)

29
Q

hematopoietic stem cells

A
  • divide into myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells
30
Q

lymphoid stem cells

A

produce macrophages and lymphocytes

31
Q

myeloid stem cells

A

produce eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils

32
Q

thrombopoiesis

A

platelets formation

- formed out of megakaryocytes

33
Q

Function of blood

A
  • distribution
  • regulation
  • protection
34
Q

distribution

A
  • delivering oxygen from lungs
  • delivering nutrients from digestive tract
  • transport metabolic waste products from cells to elimination sites
  • transporting hormones from endocrine organs to their target organs
35
Q

regulation

A
  • maintain appropriate body temperature, absorb and distribute heat
  • maintain normal pH in body tissue
  • maintain fluid volume. Blood proteins prevent excessive fluid loss.
36
Q

protection

A
  • preventing blood loss via platelets and plasma proteins

- preventing infection via leukocytes

37
Q

transport through cell membranes

A
  • directly through lipid bilayer
  • transport proteins
  • diffusion
  • active transport
38
Q

Diffusion

A
  • movement along with concentration gradient, high to low
    1. simple diffusion: through a membrane, or through intermolecular spaces, no carrier proteins
    2. facilitated diffusion: with carrier protein or channel proteins, channel proteins are faster than carrier proteins
    3. osmosis: diffusion of water across selective permeable membrane to maintain equal concentrations
39
Q

active transport

A
  • movement substances with carrier protein, against concentration gradient, low to high
    1. primary active transport: energy directly from breakdown ATP, sodium potassium pump
    2. secondary active transport: energy secondarily from energy that has been stored in the form of ionic concentration differences on two sides of cell membrane.
40
Q

sodium potassium pump

A
  • sodium out of the cells –> concentration gradient develops with high concentration outside the cell and low concentration inside
  • this gradient stores energy, because outside sodium always tries to diffuse to inside.
  • Co-transport/secondary active transport: diffusion energy of sodium can pull other substances along with them through cell membrane
41
Q

counter transport

A
  • substance to be transported is on inside and must go to outside –> sodium ion binds to carrier protein where it projects to the exterior surface of membrane
42
Q

types of active transport

A
  • Symport: two transport same direction (secondary active transport)
  • antiport: two transport in other direction (secondary active transport.
  • uniport: only one substance goes in (primary active transport)
43
Q

endocytosis

A
  • cell transports molecules into the cell
    1. pinocytosis: small droplets with nutrients from extracellular to intracellular
    2. phagocytosis: cell absorbs bacteria –> forms phagosome inside the cell –> stores content safely
    3. receptor regulated endocytosis: cells absorb metabolites, hormones, proteins and viruses by inward budding of plasma membrane. mediated by receptors on surface of the cell
44
Q

exocytosis

A
  • vesicle has V snare on it.
  • on target membrane has T snare
  • where they bind it can release its cargo
45
Q

continuous capillaries

A
  • endothelial cells are joined with tight junctions

- found in muscle, connective tissue and neural tissue

46
Q

fenestrated capillaries

A
  • larger pores that allow high volumes of fluid to pass rapidly between plasma and interstitial fluid
  • found in kidney and intestine
47
Q

sinusoids

A
  • found in bone marrow, liver, spleen
  • 5x wider than a capillary
  • has fenestrations
  • found where blood cells and plasma proteins need to cross the endothelium to enter the blood.
48
Q

Capillaries

A
  • blood flow is lowest –> combined surface area is much bigger than the surface area of a normal vessel
  • capillary exchange –> diffusion and transcytosis.
  • larger molecules are transported across the endothelium by transcytosis.
49
Q

bulk flow

A

refers to the mass movement of fluid as a result of hydrostatic or osmotic pressure gradients.

  • Absorption: into the capillary
  • Filtration: out of the capillary
50
Q

Hydrostatic pressure

A

between capillaries and tissues

forces fluid out of the capillary through tight junctions

51
Q

blood hydrostatic pressure

A

force exerted by blood in blood vessels

52
Q

CHP, capillary hydrostatic pressure

A

pressure exerted by blood against wall of capillary

53
Q

osmotic pressure

A

due to non-diffusible solutes. Pulls fluid across the boundary

54
Q

Ficks law

A

Dv = D x ((A x T x deltaC ) / d ))

  • Dv: diffusion velocity
  • D: constant factor
  • A: diffusion surface
  • T: temperature
  • deltaC: concentration difference
  • d: diffusion distance
55
Q

colloid osmotic pressure

A
  • pressure created by presence of proteins, present in plasma but nog in interstitial fluid.
  • has a constant value
  • higher in plasma than in interstitial fluid, water from interstitial fluid to plasma
56
Q

extracellular fluid (ECF)

A
  • all body fluids outside the cells
  • main compound is interstitial fluid
  • 14 liters
57
Q

difference interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid

A

more potassium and proteins inside the cells. ECF more sodium and chloride
