ch 13?? Flashcards
(122 cards)
average adult blood volume
around 7 L
Arterial blood
leaves heart
bright red,
oxygenated
Venous blood
– enters heart;
dark red,
deoxygenated
plasma
liquid portion of blood
plasma contains
water, proteins, antibodies, nutrients, gases, electrolytes, wastes products
plasma protein types
Albumins
Globulins (antibodies)
Fibrinogen
viscosity
resistance of fluid to flow
whole blood is how many times thicker than water
4.5-5.5x
plasma is how many times thicker than water
2x
blood osmolarity
total molarity of dissolved particles that cannot pass thru blood vessel wall
if blood osmolarity is high what happens with blood pressure
blood absorbs too much water, increase BP
if blood osmolarity is too low, what happens to blood pressure
too much water in tissue
BP drops
edema
Erythrocytes function (2)
carry o2 from lungs to cell tissue
pick up o2 from tissue and bring to lungs
when does arterial blood not have as much blood
going to the lungs
when does venous blood not have a lot of oxygen
coming from the lungs
hematocrit
percentage of blood that is red blood cells
normal blood comp
45% formed elements and 55% plasma
buffy coat contains
white blood cells and platlets
only 1% of blood
Albumins
most common
contribute to collid osmotic pressure (pulling water in and out of the blood)
carier protein
globulins
antibodies
fibrinogen
clotting factor
as red blood cells increase, what happens to viscosity
it also increases
increase viscoity can lead to
heart attacks and strokes
colloid osmotic pressure
300 ml osmoles per liter
the pressure exerted by proteins in blood vessels that pulls fluid back into the capillaries
