lecture 2 and 3: CV system (blood heart) Flashcards
(204 cards)
what are the components of the CV
blood
heart
blood vessels
what does the CV transport
transports oxygen and nutrients and carbon dioxide and waste to and from cells
explain the transport of oxygen and nutrients in the CV system
blood to interstitial fluid to body cells
explain the transport of carbon dioxide and wastes in the CV system
body cells to interstitium to blood
what are the 3 general functions of the CV system?
transport
regulation
protection
what are the elements of transportation of the CV
oxygen
carbon dioxide
nutrients
heats
wastes
what does the CV system regulate
PH
body temp
the water content of the cells
what are the components of protection for the CV system
clotting
phagocytes
antibodies
what is the temperature of the body/blood
38
what is the pH of blood/body
7.35 - 7.45 (slightly alkaline)
what is the average blood vol in males
5-6 liters
what is the average blood vol in women
4-5 L
blood takes what percentage of body weight
8%
what are the 2 elements of blood?
whole blood =
plasma (55%) + formed elements (45%)
COMPOSITION OF BLOOD
.
blood plasma makes up what percentage of whole blood
55%
BLOOD plasma is made up by water percentage of water
91.5 %
what are the two components of blood plasma
91.5% h20
8. 5% solutes
what are most of the solutes in blood plasma
mostly plasma proteins
where are plasma proteins synthesized
liver
what are the plasma proteins and the percentages
- Albumins: 54%
- Globulins: 38 (immunoglobulins-antibodies)
- Fibrinogen: 7%
what is the function of albumins
transport fatty acids
help keep h20 from diffusing out of the blood
when are globulins produced and what are they stimulated by
Produced during certain immune responses, stimulated by
foreign invaders (bacteria, viruses)
what is essential for blood clotting
fibrinogen
