Exam 1 Flashcards
blood functions
transport materials
temp. regulation
fluid/ solute regulation
hemeostasis
blood properties
8% body weight
4-6 L
5x thicker than H2O
pH 7.35-7.45
blood composition
plasma
cells
platelets
plasma
ground substance
92% water
dissolved proteins
plasma dissolved proteins
albumins soluble and maintain osmot. pressure consume and transp. mater. 60% (liver) globulins 35% (liver) transp. mater. and immunity Fibrinogen 4% (liver) solube and clot
plasma dissolved solutes
electroly. used for cellular act. and osmotic pressure cations (Na+) and anions (Cl-) gases co2, o2 and n2 nutrients aa, glucose and fats wastes nitrogenous products hormones
RBC
erythrocytes
99% of blood
RBC function and structure
biconcave+ flexible
transport CO2 and O2
carbonic anhydrase
catalyzes rxn btw CO2 and H2O
hemoglobin
binds to CO2 and O2
gives blood red color
found in cytoplasm!
RBC development
hemopoietic or marrow tissue
hemopoietic stem cells
CFU colony forming by erythropoetin
(triggered by low O2 levels)
causes of low O2 levels
anemia, blood loss, respir. damage, high altitude, exercise
RBC destruction
120 day lifespan
3 mil. produced and destroyed per second
hemolysis
cell mem. leaks
alters macrophages
phagocytized in liver and spleen
hemolysis globin and heme
heme- iron + biliverdin
excreted
globin- aa proteins
WBC
leukocytes
remain in CT tissue
4-10,000 WBC/ mm3
defense
Diapedisis
wbc transporting from blood to tissue
chemotaxis
wbc in blood following chem. concen. gradient
WBC by %
neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils
WBC development
bone marrow
myloid or lymphoid stem cells
CSF colony stim. factor
(hormone regulated)
myloid stem cells
monocytes
neutrophils
eosinophils
basophils
lymphoid stem cells
lymphocytes
platlets
plug wounds
dev from megakaryocytes
10 day lifespan
release chem signals to o/ cells to clot
hemostasis
vascular phase
platelet phase
coagulation phase
*all triggered by exposure to collagen
