Answer 3

Cary / transport blood

Question 4

Blood

Answer 4

Carries nutrients and oxygen

1) Connective Tissue
2) Plasma
3) Elements
- RBC , WBC, Platelets, Hemopoiesis, Stem Cells

Question 5

Lymph Vessels

Answer 5

Pick up extra fluid

Question 6

Plasma

Answer 6

Pale yellow fluid mostly H2O
- Contains proteins (albumin) ions, nutrients, gases, (O2
+ Co2), wastes, blood clotting factories and antibodies
- 55% helps regulate volume of blood

Question 7

RBC (erythrocytes)

Answer 7

Trasport O2 + Co2

Question 8

WBC (leukocytes)

Answer 8

Fight infection

Question 9

Platelets (thrombocytes)

Answer 9

Clotting

Question 10

Hemopoisis

Answer 10

Blood cell formation ; bone marrow and lymph nodes

Question 11

Stem Cells

Answer 11

Differentiate into RBC, WBC, Platelets

Question 12

RBC (stem cells)

Answer 12

Most numerous : 4.5 - 6 mil. in 1 drop

a) erthropoisis - RBC formation
b) reticulocyte - immature RBC : Home nucleus
c) large - Can’t go through bv. walls
d) flexible - disc shape, squeeze through capillaries
e) contain hemoglobin (iron attracts O2)
f) live about 120 days ; get recycled in the spleen

Question 13

WBC (stem cells)

Answer 13

Leukocytes : 5,000 - 10,000 in 1 drop

 - some live for yrs.
 - Some live for hrs.    a) leucopoiesis - WBC formation ; 5 types    b) Granulocyte    c) Agranulocytes

Question 14

Granulocyte

Answer 14

1) Neutrophils - 50 -70%
- phagocytosis : pus, dead cells, and fluids
2) Basophils - <1%> inflammation, release histamine
3) Cesinophils - 1-3 % inflation, allergies

Question 15

Argranulocytes

Answer 15

1) Monocytes : very efficient phagocytes

2) Lymphocytes : magnate to lymph nodes

Question 16

Platelets (stem cells)

Answer 16

Thrombocytes ; verry small

• Life cycle is 5-9 days
• hemostasis : plug vessels, tron clot, stops bleeding

Question 17

Blood count (stem cells)

Answer 17

• CBC : Complete blood count

- Differential : WBC %, diagnosis

Endoardium

Answer 23

Inermost layer, lines valves

Question 24

Question 25

Epicardium

Answer 25

Thin outermost layer

Question 26

Pericardium

Answer 26

Sling like support structure helps attach heart to surrounding structure

Question 27

Atria

Answer 27

- Upper Chambers | - Thin walls, reverie blood

Question 28
