Chapter 10 Reverse Flashcards
(44 cards)
reverse
transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, waste products, hormones
distributes heat
hemeostasis
Functions of blood
reverse
only fluid tissue in body
living cells: formed elements
non-living cells: plasma
Blood components
reverse
erytrocytes (RBC) 45%
buffy coat: leukcytes (WBC) and platelets less than 1%
Plasma 55%
composition of blood
reverse
oxygen rich-scarlet red
oxygen poor-dull red
ph 7.35-7.45
temp 100.4
volume 6 qts
characteristics of blood
reverse
90% water
dissolved substances: nutrients, salts (electrolytes), respiratory gases, hormones, plasma proteins, waste products
Blood Plasma
reverse
most abundant solutes in plasman 7%
most made by liver
albumin
clotting proteins
globulins
Plasma proteins
reverse
60% of plasma proteins
regulates osmotic pressure
made by liver
albumin
reverse
4% of plasma
plays role in blood coagulation
made by liver
clotting proteins
reverse
36% of plasma
Alpha and Beta globulins
transport proteins
made by liver
Globulins
reverse
help protect the body from pathagens
made my lymphocytes
Gamma globulins
(antibodies)
reverse
erythrocytes (RBC)
leukocytes (WBC)
platelets-thrombocytes
Formed elements
reverse
carry oxygen
biconcave disks
bags of hemoglobin
no nucleus
very few organelles
5 million per mm^3
Erythrocytes
RBC
reverse
iron containing protein
binds strongly but reversibly to oxygen
each hemoglobin molecule has 4 O2 binding sites
RBC has 250 million hemoglobin molecules
normal blood 12-18 g per 100ml of blood
Hemoglobin
reverse
kidneys produce most erythropoietin in response to reduced O2 levels in blood
erythropoietin stimulates RBC formatoin in red marrow
homeostasis is maintaind via negative feedback from blood O2 levels
Hemoatopoiesis
Erytrhocyte production
reverse
unable to divide, grow or synthesize proteins
wear out in 100-120 days
when worn out RBC is eliminated by phagocytes in teh spleen or liver
Old RBC
reverse
protect body against pathogens
4000-11,000 WBC per mm^3
differential WBC count lists % of each type of WBC, may change with disease status
Leukocytes
WBC
reverse
fragments of megakaryocytes
form platelet plug to help seal damaged blood vessels
initiates formatoin of blood clot
normal cound 300,000 per mm^3
Platelets
Thrombocytes
reverse
stoppage of bleeding resulting from breaking in a blood vessel
Hemostasis
reverse
vascular spasm
platelet plug formation
coagulation (blood clotting)
phases of hemostasis
reverse
occurs immediatly if a vessel is cut or broken
spasm narrows the vessel decreasing blood loss
Vascular spasms
reverse
collagen fibers are exposed by break in vessel
platelets become “sticky” and cling to fibers
anchored platelets release chemicals to attract more platelets
platelets pile up to for a plug
platelet plug formation
reverse
most effective homeostatic mechanism
final step conversion of fibrogen into insoluable fibrin threads
Thrombin: enzyme that converts fibrinogen into fibrin
fibrin forms meshwork that traps RBC
blood usually clots in 3-6 min
clot remains as endothelium regenerates
clot is broken down after tissue repair
Coagulation
blood clotting
reverse
loss of 15-30% causes weakness
loss of over 30% causes shock which can be fatal
Blood loss
reverse
transfusions are the only way to replace blood quickly
transfused blood must be of the same blood group
Blood Transfusion
