Chapter 19 Flashcards
(42 cards)
What are platelets?
Reserved for emergencies (stops leaking blood)
For platelets what are thrombocytopenia penia?
Abnormally low platelet count (bleed out)
Thrombocytosis platelets
Abnormally high platelet count (blood clots)
What is Hemostasis?
- Starts in Vascular phase ( A cut triggers vascular spasm )
- then platelet phase
- cogulation phase ( last stage )
3 steps of vascular phase
- Endothelial cells contract -> expose basal lamina to bloodstem
- Endothelial cells realse -> Stimulate smooth muscle contraction and cell division
- Endotehlial cell membrane became “sticky” seal off blood flow
Platelet Aggregation (Stick together)
Forms platelet plugs (closes small breaks)
Fibrinolysis
Dissolve clots
–> Plasminogen produce plasmin
Red blood cells
- Make up 99.9% if blood formed elements (red, white, platelets)
- Carry oxygen
How much does Male RBC?
4.5-6.3 million
how much does Female RBC?
4-5.5 million
How long does RBC live?
4 months/120 days
What is the lack Nuclei, Mitochondria., and Ribisome?
Red Blood Cells
Average White Bloods for Male and Female?
8,000 blood cells
What is Hemoglobin?
Protein molecule, transport oxygen and carbon dixode
What is Anemia?
- Hematocrit or hemoglobin levels are Low Bloods and Hemoglobin
- Below normal caused by Iron deficiency, sickle cell, pernicious
What are Erthopoiesis?
- Stimulating hormone (erythopuietin) (EPO)
- only in red blood cells
- due to disease or high
- only if red bone marrow (myeloidtissue)
What is specialized fluid of connective tissue?
Blood
What are formed elements?
- Red blood cells ( Erythrocytes)
transport oxygen and carbondixode - White blood cells (leukocytes) (kill bad guy in body)
2) platelets (thrombocytes ) blood clotting
What are red blood cells made from?
hemoglobin
What is plasma?
Water, dissolved plasma protein, other solutes
What is Hemopoiesis?
- Make formed elements
- make red, white, platelets
By Myeloid and lymphoid stem cells
What is the ph of blood?
7.35-7.45
Plasma makes up 50-60% of blood volume
More than 90% of plasma is water
