[DISCUSSION] MODULE 2: QUIZ 3 COVERAGE Flashcards
(152 cards)
dynamics of RBC production and destruction
Erythrokinetics
collection of all stages of erythrocytes throughout the
body
Erythron
=the developing precursors in the bone marrow + circulating
erythrocytes in peripheral blood and vascular spaces within
specific organs
Erythron
= conveys the concept of a unified functional tissue
Erythron
= red blood cells in circulation only
Red cell mass
THE RBC MEMBRANE COMOPOSITION:
a. proteins (52%)
b. lipids (40%)
c. carbohydrates (8%)
THE RBC MEMBRANE NEEDS TO BE:
a. flexible
b. deformable
c. semi-permeable
A continually moving sea of fluid lipids that
contain a mosaic of different proteins
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
-Some proteins float freely in the lipid stream
-others are anchored at specific parts
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
-major source of red cell energy (90% of glycolysis)
EMBDEN-MEYERHOFF PATHWAY (EMP)
-major source of red cell energy (90% of glycolysis)
EMBDEN-MEYERHOFF PATHWAY (EMP)
glycolysis
glucose catabolism = glucose to pyruvate
pyruvate can be metabolized by:
a. Aerobic pathway: Tricarboxylic acid cycle
b. Anaerobic pathway/anaerobic glycolysis
4 RBC METABOLISM
- EMBDEN-MEYERHOFF PATHWAY (EMP)
- HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE PATHWAY/PENTOSE PHOSPHATE SHUNT
- METHEMOGLOBIN REDUCTASE PATHWAY
- RAPPAPORT – LEUBERING PATHWAY
contributes to 10% of glycolysis
HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE PATHWAY/PENTOSE PHOSPHATE SHUNT
provides adequate stores of NADPH
maintains glutathione in its reduced form
prevents denaturation of hemoglobin
HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE PATHWAY/PENTOSE PHOSPHATE SHUNT
Main enzyme of HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE PATHWAY/PENTOSE PHOSPHATE SHUNT
G-6PD
-Maintains hemoglobin iron in Fe 2+ (ferrous) to be
functional
METHEMOGLOBIN REDUCTASE PATHWAY
Responsible for the generation of 2,3-DPG which regulates hemoglobin affinity for oxygen
RAPPAPORT – LEUBERING PATHWAY
2 RBC DESTRUCTION
- EXTRAVASCULAR HEMOLYSIS / MACROPHAGE MEDIATED HEMOLYSIS
- INTRAVASCULAR HEMOLYSIS/FRAGMENTATION
happens within the RES (spleen) when complement is not
activated or incompletely activated
EXTRAVASCULAR HEMOLYSIS / MACROPHAGE MEDIATED HEMOLYSIS
90% of red cell destruction
EXTRAVASCULAR HEMOLYSIS / MACROPHAGE MEDIATED HEMOLYSIS
-increases unconjugated bilirubin, urine and fecal urobilinogen
EXTRAVASCULAR HEMOLYSIS / MACROPHAGE MEDIATED HEMOLYSIS
-seen in Rh hemolysis
EXTRAVASCULAR HEMOLYSIS / MACROPHAGE MEDIATED HEMOLYSIS
