Lecture 6- Hematology Flashcards
T or F: erythrocytes make u 84% of cell count
T
3 components of hematocrit
plasma- water, plasma proteins & solutes
buffy coat- WBC & platelets (middle layer)
packed cell volume - bottom
colloid osmotic pressure
fluid moves from low -> high concentrations
how to avoid water leakage out of blood vessels
keep plasma protein concentration high
2 positions of heme
outwards- wants O2
inwards- no room for O2
Albumin
blood proteins
Fibrinogen
makes mesh for blood clots
T or F: plasma has fibrinogen & serum does not
T
creatine function
slows activity in the blood- will be low if kidneys work well
erythrocytes function
transport O2 & CO2 and buffer pH
T or F: if blood volume is artificially increased RBC count will be lower b/c it is diluted
T
T or F: females have more RBC
F, males do
Bohr effect
right shift, tissues get 35% saturated = more O2 to tissues
what 3 factors effect which curve the oxygen dissociation curve will follow?
pH, temp & phosphate
lower pH = what curve
O2 is dropped earlier = right shift = bohr effect
high temp = what curve
right shift
organic phosphate ( ) affinity for O2
decreases
what does a left shift in curve mean
carbon monoxide poisoning
O2 ( ) at high altitude & causes an ( ) regulation in DGP
low, up
does O2 get released more in tissues or lungs at high altitude
tissues =problem
arterial vs venous blood colour
A- bright red, saturated
V- dark red-not blue, deoxygenated
what type of blood would produce from a severed vein
venous
carbaminohemoglobin
when Hb carries CO2
Haldene effect
more O2 on Hb = less CO2 binds to Hb in lungs & exact opposite on tissues
ocean acidification & reaction
ocean becomes more acidic via natural chemical reactions - CO2 reacts with water
low vs high pH on respiration
low- increases respiration b/c we want to exhale more CO2, reaction moves both ways
high- decreases respiration b/c lacks protons & reaction shifts to the right to add H
contractions in the ( ) release RBC ready to bind O2
spleen
what produces RBC
red bone marrow
erythropoiesis
immature blood cells are waiting to be called on for use
T or F: EPO increases long term endurance but not short term
T
T or F: EPO is give to people with kidney failure
T
anemia
lacking RBC
sickle cell anemia
concaved RBC that stick together & blocks O2 delivery - double recessive genetic problem
polycthemia
too many RBC - causes blood clots in vessels
caused when signalling doesn’t work & makes excessive RBC = cancer
