19 Flashcards
transport function
Move respiratory gases (, ), nutrients, wastes,
hormones, stem cells
protection function
– Clotting prevents blood loss
– Inflammation, white blood cells, and antibodies fight
toxins and infections
regulation function
Balancing of fluid levels, pH, and temperature
plasma
clear, extracellular matrix
formed elements
cells/ cell fragments
red/white blood cells
platelets
buffy coat
leukocytes and platelets
hematocrit
blood cells in blood
serum
plasma- solids and clots
plasma is mostly
water
proteins in plasma
Albumins (transport), Globulins (antibodies), Fibrinogen (blood clot), Enzymes,
nutrients in plasma
Glucose, amino acids, lactic acid, lipids,
electrolytes in plasma
Salts of Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl
nitrogenous waste in plasma
urea
hormones in plasma
gets turned hydrophilic to get carried by blood
gases in plasma
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen
red blood cells
- Discoid shape
- Lacks nucleus,
mitochondria, other
organelles (because its sole purpose is to carry)
red blood cell function
carry oxy and carbon diox
hemaglobin
Quaternary structure with heme
iron containing, gas transport
in RBC
center binds oxygen
most common blood type
ABO and Rh
how blood types arrise
-Red blood cell contains antigens
- Plasma contains antibodies
Rh factor (+ or -)
d antigen
if antigens are present (+) or absent (-)
anemia
Deficiency of Erythrocytes or Hemoglobin
anemia causes
– Inadequate synthesis of red blood (Kidney failure, Iron-deficiency)
– Hemorrhagic anemias from bleeding
– Hemolytic anemias from RBC destruction
anemia consequences
tissue hypoxia, blood osmolarity reduced
blood viscosity is low
tissue hypoxia
symptoms
- Patient is lethargic
- Shortness of breath upon exertion
low blood viscosity leads to
Heart races and pressure drops
sickel cell
hereditary
caused by recessive allele that mods structure of Hb
modied Hb leads to
– HbS does not bind oxygen well
– Clump together
– Can lead to kidney or heart
failure, stroke, joint pain, or paralysis
white blood cells
- Protect against pathogens
- Least abundant of the formed elements
- Migrate out of the bloodstream and into
connective tissues
Agranulocytes
– Lymphocytes and monocytes
- Granulocytes
– Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
neutrophils
granulocytes
make up 60%-70% of WBC
multi lobes nucleus
phagocytes bacteria, secrete antimicrobial chemicals
increases count during infection
eosinophils
Granulocytes 4-5%
bi lobes
increase is parasitic infection
phagocytize allergens, antigen antibody complexes, inflammatory chemicals
basophils
granulocytes
irregulary shaped
stable count, up during viral infection
secrete histamine (increase blood flow) heparin (anticoagulant)
monocyte
arganulocytes
3-8% of wBC
kindey, horseshoe shapped
increase when viral infection (will change into macrophage)
phagocyte pathogens, dead neutrophils, debris of dead cells
present antigen to activate other cells of immune system
lymphocytes
agranulocutes 35-33%
round, ovioid, dimples
b and t cells, the guys
made in bone marrow
lymphocytes functions
diffl functional classes
* Destroy cancer cells, cells infected with viruses, and foreign cells
* Present antigens to activate other cells of immune system
* Coordinate actions of other immune cells
* Secrete antibodies
* Serve in immune memory
Platelets
-small fragments of megakaryocytes
-aid in blood clotting
-no nucleus
other platets funcitons
clots
Vasoconstriction,
clot dissolving,
WBC attraction (from like a cut),
destruction of bacteria, mitosis for
healing
Thrombopoiesis
formation of hematopeitic stem cells from megakaryoblast
Megakaryocytes sprout-
proplatelet tendrils in red
marrow, too big to fit into cells
get smaller due to mechanical stress
Many proplatelets are broken into - within -
platelets
lung capillaries
Hemophilia
-Bleeding disorder
– Sex-linked – predominately in males
– Lacks one factors in coagulation
- Thrombosis
– Abnormal clotting in an unbroken blood vessel
can cause heart attack or stroke
- Thrombus
abnormal clot
can cause stroke or heart attack
- Embolism
– Blockage of an artery by a broken off clot and travels somewhere else
– Pulmonary Embolism –
From deep vein thrombosis in the leg, gets lodged in the lungs
bad gas exhange
- Embolus
– Clot that has broken free
why do old people not respond to hemopoeitic system stress
– Inadequate nutrition
– Inadequate exercise
– Atrophy of the kidneys
– Limited number of cell divisions of stem cells
pulmonary circuit
– Blood flows from right heart to lungs
– Gas exchange in lungs
systemic circuit
– Blood flows from left heart to all body
organs
– Gas exchange in organs
how is oxygen unloaded from blood
gas exchange in organs
pericardium function
Restricts heart movements so that it moves only slightly within the thorax
stop spread of infections
pericardium layers
fibrous
serous
