erythrocytes (rbc)
54
why are erythrocytes biconcave
-SA and flexibility
maximum surface area so more hemoglobin against the membrane, easier for oxygen to get in bc of the surface area
55
lacks nuclei and mitochondria
erythrocyte
56
why do erythrocytes only have a 120 day half life
they are anucleated and cant repair
57
contain about 280 million hemoglobin molecules
erythrocytes
58
in erythrocytes, iron heme is recycled from what organs? how are they carried
liver and spleen
-carried by transferrin in the blood to the red bone marrow
59
type of globulin that transfers iron.
transferrin
60
why do we need transferrin
iron is a heavy oxidizer which kills and destroys everything like proteins and lipids. it damages molecules that make up the cells. transferrin is important to transfer iron to prevent damage.
61
abnormally low hemoglobin or RBC count

75
why do we need wbc to move out of circ into tissue (diapedesis)?
immune response
76
the vessel that makes diapedesis possible

communicate with mast cells to vasodilate(increase blood flow) and bronchoconstriction (narrow airways. imp for allergic reactions)
basophils
86
aka thrombocytes
platelets
87
platelets are Smallest formed element, fragments of large
cells called
megakaryocytes
88
very large bone marrow cell. their job is to produce platelets. inside bone marrow. grow huge and develop massive nucleus. they break off tiny pieces of their cytoplasm- which become platelets
megakaryocyte
89
lack nuclei
platelets
90
Very short-lived (5 to 9 days)
platelets
91
clot with with several other chemicals and
fibrinogen
platelet
92
platelets release--- that stimulates ---
serotonin; vasoconstriction
93
when you get a cut, these rush to the scene to stick together and form a clot. they stop you from bleeding too much and help begin the healing process
platelets
94
why do i want vasoconstriction is im clotting
reduce area for platelets to interact with clotting factors and for clotting factors to interact with each other
95
what is the process of blood cell formation; in red bone marrow
hematopoiesis
96
the process of all blood cells (rbc,wbc,platelets) are made in the bone marrow. replace old and lost blood cells

embryonic cells that give rise to all blood cells. this is the master cell that give rise to all blood cells.
hematopoietic stem cells
98
found in bone marrow, can turn into myeloid and lymohoid tissue, make all different blood cells
hematopoietic stem cells
99
as cells differentiate, they develop
membrane receptors for chemical signals

happens mainly in red bone marrow (hips, sternum, pelvis)
erythropoiesis
104
important for keeping tissues oxygenated during exercise, high altitudes, anemia, and blood loss
erythropoiesis
105
how is erythropoiesis stimulated
Process stimulated by erythropoietin from the
kidneys that respond to low blood O 2 levels -
hypoxia
106
tell bone marrow to make more rbc to improve oxygen delivery
erythropoietin
107
the process takes about 3 days
erythropoiesis
108
in eythropoiesis, most iron is recycled from rbc and the rest come from
diet
109

111
all iron travels in blood bounded to
transferrin
112
delivers it to tissues like bone marrow. blood protein that binds and transports iron thru body
-"iron taxi"
transferrin
113
binds to iron in the blood and delivers to bone marrow, liver, and other tissues. keep iron soluble and nontoxic in blood. help regulate iron levels
transferrin
114
Major regulator of iron homeostasis is the
hormone

120
stimulates growth of
megakaryocytes and maturation into
platelets

tells bone marrow to make more rbc to improve oxygen delivery.
-hormone in kidneys. the signal to start erythropoiesis
erythropoietin
131
erythropoies is stimulated by ---from the
kidneys that respond to low blood O 2 levels -
hypoxia
132
why does epo come from kidneys
bc they taste and sample the blood. they constantly filter all 5 L of blood every 45 mins
133
what happens when hypoxis begins= lower blood levels
signals kidneys to release EPO, epo travels into blood and to the bone marrow. it tells the stem cells to differentiate into rbc. more rbc= more oxygen-carrying capacity
134
Most iron is recycled from old RBCs, the rest
comes from ?
diet
135
where does recycle old rbc occur
in spleen
136
Intestinal iron secreted into blood through
?
ferroportin channels
137
in intestinal mucosa. regulate if iron can enter the blood. if removed, iron gets stored in intestines
ferroportin channels
138
iron transport protein. move iron out of cells into blood stream
ferroportin channels
139
All iron travels in blood bound to
transferrin
140
blood protein that binds and transports iron thru the body "iron taxi"
-delivers iron to tissues like bone marrow
transferrin
141
helps regulate iron levels
transferrin
142
Major regulator of iron homeostasis is the
hormone ----which removes
ferroportin channels to promote cellular
storage of iron and lowers plasma iron levels
hepcidin
143

hepcidin
144
before cells go thru circulation, what will go thru anucleation and gives us the final rbc
reticulocyte
145
btwn blood cells used in circulation. they are basically hormones. signals so cells can talk to each other and how cells know what to do
cytokines
146
why do we need lots of cytokines
bc cells are listening to different levels and specific types
147

secreted by lymphocytes in
response to foreign cells
antibodies
151
antigens on erythrocyte cell
surfaces
abo system
152
designed to stick to membrane bound proteins like sugars. they are specificity. transfusions
antigens
153
immune response from B cell. proteins produced by plasma cells (Bcells). float thru circulation and exit the blood into tissue. if it comes into contact with any cell that has the protein they were build to bind to, they will kill that cell by agglutination
antibodies
154
clumping of particles (like rbc) in a liquid in response to specific antibodies. kep process in serological testing and blood testing
agglutination
155
protein on the surface of rbc. important for blood transfusions and pregnancy. Antigen D
Rh factor
156
positive or negative. protein on the surface of rbc that determines whether its Rh- or Rh+
Antigen D
157
Rh+ has the...
antigen
158
----does not have the antigen; will not
have antibodies unless exposed to Rh+ either
through a blood transfusion or pregnancy
Rh-
159
An Rh − mother exposed to
Rh + fetal blood produces antibodies. This may
cause
erythroblastosis fetalis in future pregancies
160
161
-mothers immune system attacks the rbc of developing fetus.
-this occurs when the mol crosses placenta, causing babys rbc to break down fast, resulting in hemolysis and anemia. how does it get treated
Erythroblastosis fetalis; RhOGAM
162
cessation of bleeding when
a blood vessel is damaged
hemostasis
163
process of maintaining healthy state of blood flow
hemostasis
164
damage exposes collagen fibers to blood, producing:
-vasoconstriction
-formation of platelet plug
-formation of fibrin protein web
165
happy endothelium
intact endothelium
166
Intact endothelium secretes ---
and ---, which:
-prostacyclin; nitric oxide
-vasodilate and inhibit platelet aggregation
167
secreted into circulation from endothelium. prevents sticky platelets
prostacyclin
168
is a vasodilator and helps vessels have self control
nitric oxide
169
how does an endothelium prevent blood clots
secrete prostacyclin and nitric oxide, prevent platelet from hitting collagen, and CD39
170
breaks ADP to AMP + Pi
CD39
171
why do I want vasodilation if im a happy endothelium
for slower blood flow, keep clotting factors further spaced from each other. not easy for clotting factors to come together
172
Breaks down ADP into AMP and P i to inhibit
platelet aggregation further
CD39
173
Damaged endothelium exposes
collagen
174
when theres damaged endothelium and collagen is exposed, what happens first
platelets bind to collagen
175
when theres damaged endothelium and collagen is exposed, what happens after platelets bind to collagen
Von Willebrand factor hold them there (this is a protein that anchors platelets to basement membrane or collagen surrounds SM cells)
176
when theres damaged endothelium and collagen is exposed, what happens after VWF and what is secreted
Platelets recruit more platelets and form a platelet plug
by secreting:
-ADP (sticky platelets)
-serotonin (vasoconstriction)
-Thromboxane A
177
Activated platelets also activate
plasma clotting factors
178
benefit of seratonin and vasoconstriction
smaller area so makes it easier for ADP to activate other platelets and clotting factors
179
clotting factors form
fibrin
180
181
Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin via one of
two pathways
intrinsic and extrinsic
182
is factor 10 is converted to factor 10 active, what happens
prothrombin converts to thrombin, which converts fibrinogen to fibrin and forms a clot
183
Activated by exposure to collagen.
Factor XII activates a cascade of other blood
factors
intrinsic
184
Initiated by tissue thromboplastin
(factor III). This is a more direct pathway.
extrinsic
185
secreted by tissue to cause a clot
thromboplastin
186
Thromboplastin together with calcium and
phospholipids (from the platelets) converts
prothrombin to the active enzyme thrombin,
which converts fibrinogen to fibrin
187
proteins in blood that work tgthr to stop bleeding by forming a clot
clotting factors
188
what digests fibrin
plasmin
189
dissolves a clot. is in circulation, becomes plasmin in response to clotting, and dissolves the clot. breaks apart the fibrin web
plasminogen
190
clotting can be prevented by drugs like
heparin: blocks thrombin
191
converts fibrinogen to fibrin
thrombin
192
complete blood types
A+, O-, AB-
193
if im O-, what antibodies are in circulation
all! A,B, and D
194
blood vessel walls and their layers
-tunica intima(simple squamous epithelium)
-tunica media(smooth muscle)
-tunica externa(areolar conn tiss)
195
when endothelium is stressed, what happens
stops converting ADP to AMP, stops secreting prstacyclin and nitric oxide.
-could be due to constant high BP or toxins stressing the cell
196
damaged BV is
intrinsic
