19
Q
why do red blood cells or erythrocytes have no nucleus
A
we don’t want to take up any room in the cell besides our oxygen carrying protein
20
Q
what are red blood cells packed full of that give it the red color, and is the molecule that carries oxygen through your blood
A
hemoglobin
21
Q
what is the shape of a red blood cell/erythrocytes

red bone marrow
25
the term given for the formation of red blood cells
erythropoiesis a specific form of hematopoiesis for red blood cells
26
how long do RBC's live
120 days
27
what happens to RBC's after they die
they are removed from circulation by the liver and spleen
28
what is the mechanism for removing RBC's
macrophages destroy them and release hemoglobin, which is either recycled or excreted in the urine or feces
29
what is the name of the hormone that stimulates RBC production
erythropoietin EPO
30
where is EPO secreted from
the kidneys secrete EPO when there is low oxygen delivery to the tissues
31
what does the EPO stimulate
EPO stimulates the bone marrow to make more RBC's
32
what happens to the RBC's made by the bone marrow
they enter the blood stream
33
name the three steps in the process of RBC production
1 - EPO is secreted by the kidneys when there is low oxygen delivery to the tissues
2-The EPO in turn stimulates the bone marrow to make more RBC's
3-The blood cells enter the blood stream
34
what is the result of RBC production process
more RBC's means more oxygen that can be delivered to the tissues

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 1ST CHILD DURING PREGNANCY WHEN A WOMAN IS RH NEGATIVE BUT TEH FETUS IS RH POSITIVE
NOTHING HAPPENS DURING THE PREGNANCY BUT AT BIRTH THE MOTHER IS EXPOSED TO SOME OF THE BABYS BLOOD AND THE RH PROTEIN IS SEEN AS FOREIGN TO THE MOTHERS BLOOD SO BETWEEN PREGNANCIES SHE STARTS TO MAKE ANTIBODIES AGAINST RH
100
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 2ND CHILD DURING PREGNANCY IF THE MOTHER HAS STARTED TO MAKE RH ANTIBODIES
CAN CAUSE SEVERE PROBLEMS FOR THE BABY BECAUSE THE MOMS RH ANTIBODIES GET INTO THE PLACENTA AND ATTACK THE CHILDS RBC'S WHICH CAN LEAD TO BRAIN DAMAGE, STILL BIRTH OR MISCARRIAGE
101
WHAT INTERVENTION IS GIVEN IF A MOM IS RH NEGATIVE AND IS CARRYING A RH POSITIVE FETUS
RHOGAM - A DRUG THAT MASKS A BABIES RH ANTIGENS SO THAT DURING CHILDBIRTH THE MOTHER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE RH ANTIGENS AS FOREIGN AND THEREFORE DOES NOT START MAKING ANTIBODIES
