12 Blood (Lecture) Flashcards
Blood transports what?
dissolved substances especially O2 and CO2, nutrients waste and hormones
How does blood restrict fluid loss?
With clotting factors when a vessel is damaged
How does blood defend the body?
It defends against pathogens with WBC antibodies
How does blood regualte temp.
Getting rid of heat or keeping it.
What are unformed elements?
Non cellular elements of blood. Plasma, Serum, Plasma protiens (fibrinogens, immunoglobulins, albumins)
Plasma is
95% water
Serum is
plasma with all the clotting factors removed and all cellular elements removed
The 3 primary plasma protiens are
Fibrinogens, Immunoglobulins, Albumins
Fibrinogens are
clotting factors. all are produced by liver
Immunoglobulins (Ig) are
antibodies (protiens not cells) defend body against pathogen. B lymphocytes
Immunoglobulins, and order B cells present them
MADGE IgM IgA IgD IgG IgE
Albumins are
the most abundant plasma protien. they regulate PH, maintain osmotic pressure in the blood and are produced in the liver
What are formed elements of blood?
Cellular elements of blood
RBC’s are
Erythrocytes are with out nucleus
What type of cell is biconcave and why?
Erythrocytes are due to the loss of the nucleous. only cells of this shape can fold to get through capillaires
What is Erythropoiesis
production of RBC’s in the bone marrow.
RBC’s eject organelles for what reason?
To make room for hemoglobin (Hb)
What is the life span of a RBC?
120 days
What does Hemoglobin (Hb) trasport?
O2 and CO2
Hematocrit consists of
RBC’s only no plasma
What is a Antigen (Ag)
a protien that acts as an identifying marker on a cell.
What are Antibodies (Ig)?
attach to their identical matching antigen
Blood type Antigen & Antibody
a person cannot have the same antigen and antibody or it would kill all of your blood cells.
Blood type A person has what antigen and antibody?
A antigen and B antibody
