Q

Oxyhemoglobin

A

When oxygen binds to hemoglobin it is called oxyhemoglobin

Ruby Red (high O2)

Lungs - O2 gets picked up
Arteries goes all through the system until oxygen gets to delivered to the tissues

Then returns to heart

Q

Deoxyhemoglobin

A

Blood has delivered oxygen
Veins -

Color is dark red (low O2)

Blood returns from capillaries of tissues
Back to the heart
Then pumped to the lungs

Q

Kidney monitors change in oxygen delivery

A
  1. Low O2 –>
  2. kidney release enzyme POTEIN –>
  3. Renal erythropoietin factor (REF) (protein gets into the blood)
  4. REF converts plasma proteins into a hormone called erythropoietin will go to the bone marrow to stimulate –>
  5. RBC production

Q

Carbon Monoxide - deadly

A
  1. Oxygen and Carbon dioxide combine to hemoglobin
  2. Carbon monoxide binds 200x more tightly, with greater affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen does
  3. Stronger and no smell

Oxygen binds and unbinds
Carbon monoxide binds and will not let go

Q

5 Leukocyte types, 2 categories

Have appearance of cytoplasm and nucleus

A

Granular - phils
1. Neutrophils
2. Eosinophils
3. Basophils

Agranular - cytes
1. Lymphocytes
2. Monocytes

21
Q

Neutrophils

A
  1. Tissue damage
  2. Leave capillaries
  3. by diapedesis
  4. and phagocytic
22
Q

Eosinophils (all vowels)

A
  1. make antihistamine (undoes histamine-inflammation)
  2. Combat allergens
  3. leave capillaries (diapedesis)
  4. phagocytic

Take a dose of eosinophils to get a boost and fight allergens

23
Q

Basophils. (BHH)

A
  1. Produce heparin (prevents blood clotting)
  2. Histamine (inflammation chemical)
    (cause reactions to occur)
  3. Leave capillaries

Allergic Reaction

24
Q

Lymphocytes

A

Produces antibodies

T-cells = thymus
B-cells = bone marrow

25
Monocytes
phagocytic cells
26
Leukocytes (WBCs)
1. less numerous than RBC 2. Larger than RBCs 3. Has Nucleus 4. Combats (provides immunity) 5. Shorter life - soldier hard worker 6. Several kinds -neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes 7. independent movement (diapedesis)
27
Erythrocytes (RBCs)
1. Huge numbers 2. Smaller than WBCS (no nucleus) 3. Anucleate (no nucleus) 4. Carry Oxygen 5. Lives 3-4 months 6. one kind 7. No independent movement (only moves because the heart pumps)
28
Platelets - Thrombocytes
Not cells - they are cell fragments 1. Large non-specialized cells in bone marrow that divide and divide and form MEGAKARYOCYTE 2. when the megakaryocyte ruptures it becomes a HEMOCYTOBLASTS (important in blood clotting) 3. Becomes a Thrombocyte
29
Antigens are proteins/glycoproteins that are...
1. cell markers that flag "I am one of your cells"
30
Antibodies are made through
Immune action to attack and disable foreign antigens In blood typing, there has to be a first exposure
31
Transfusion reaction
interaction between foreign blood antigens and antibodies
32
Erythroblastosis fetalis
Treatable with the shot - RhoGam Anti-RH (RH-) not normally present, unless first exposed Father RH+ Mother Rh- Baby is RH+. (second one mother reacts to the antibodies of the RH factor of the mother
33
Anemia
too little RBCs
34
Polycythemia
Too many RBCs
35
5 types of Anemia
1. hemorrhagic - blood loss 2. aplastic - marrow problem 3. pernicious - B12 deficiency 4. Hemolytic - destruction 5. Iron deficiency - dietary
36
Hemorrhagic anemia
due to blood loss
37
Aplastic anemia
due to lack of production of RBCs at the bone marrow
38
Pernicious anemia
B12 deficiency. (no animal eating)
39
Hemolytic anemia
due to RBCs undergoing too rapid of a breakdown
40
Iron deficiency (form of anemia)
Lack of iron in diet
41
Polycythemia conditions
increased number of RBCs 1. Bone marrow cancer - high # but low function 2. Blood doping. (increase hematocrit value to increase oxygen in blood 4.3-5.8 million
42
Leukopenia
Abnormally low WBC count could be drug-induced Immune suppression Organ transplant
43
Leukopenias are forms of
Leukemia - high #of WBCs but functionality is low 1. Cancerous conditions 2. Incomplete, immature WBCs production - cannot clot -low oxygen delivery - cannot stop bleeding - infection 3. Fatality - infection or internal hemorrhage (low platelet production Death due to secondary infection or hemorrhage low RBC production as well
44
Leukocytosis
infection, WBC count is high 1. Mononucleosis Viral Mono & Lymphocytes elevated 2. Infection Elevated Neutrophils
45
Blood clotting HOMEOSTASIS
1. Vascular spasm platelets release prostaglandins --> vasoconstriction 2. Platelet plug formation - negatively charged collagen attracts platelets containing myosin and actin - Bind & Contract 3. Coagulation - damaged cells --> releasing thromboplastin interacts with clotting factors and calcium - plasma protein "Prothrombin" --> thrombin - Thrombin enzyme converts globular fibrinogen to insoluble stringy fibrin - Thrombin also causes fibrin to link together plugging the break - Fibrin reinforces platelet plug
46
Thrombus
Blood clot that is stationary
47
Embolus
Blood clot that is on the move
48
Big issue of clots
Obstruction try low dose aspirin Heparin - anticoagulant Warfarin AKA dicumeral
