19-Blood Flashcards
Parts of plasma - 3
Water 92%
Proteins - 7%
Albumin - 58% of proteins
Parts of blood - 3
Plasma - 55%
Erythrocytes - 44%
Platelets and WBC - 1%
Functions of blood - 3
Transportation - O2, Nutrients, CO2, wastes
Regulation - pH - bicarbonate, heat, pressure
Protection - clot, WBC for immunity & fight infection
pH range of blood
7.35 - 7.45
Buffy Coat - other material in blood made of - 2
Platelets
Leukocytes - Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils
hematocrit high/low
significant drop is anemia
abnormally high is polycythemia - high BP, stroke
Hematopoiesis occurs places in fetus - 5
large amounts yolk sac, liver, bone marrow
small amounts spleen, lymph nodes
Adult bone marrow where, stem cells 3
axial skeleton
pluripotent stem produces myeloid and lymphoid stems
Lymphoid produce lymphocytes - B & T cells
Myeloid everything else
Formed elements - 7
RBC - Erythrocytes
Platelets - thrombocytes, from megakaryocytes
Basophils - mast cells
monocytes - macrophages
eosinophils
neutrophils - Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)
lymphocytes - B, T, NK
RBC and platelet production - growth factors, where
Erythropoietin EPO - increases RBC precursors, kidney
Thrombopoietin TPO - platelets from megakaryocytes, liver
blood grouping component
glycolipids and glycoproteins act as antigen on RBC - ABO grouping
Hemoglobin makeup 2, carries how much of CO2
Globin - 4 polypeptide chains
Heme - non-protein pigment, holds Fe2+ iron ion
carries 23% of CO2
sickle cell survival benefit
heterozygotes (both actually but…) malaria
Blood Buffer
Carbonic Anhydrase enzyme CO2+H2O to carbonic acid
Spontaneously to bicarbonate + H+
Acts as buffer, too acidic or too basic
Bicarbonate transports 70% CO2
Erythropoiesis - 2 precursors, where, process
starts in bone marrow
Proerythroblast first precursor, Reticulocyte - lacks nucleus, still has some other components
Hypoxia -> kidneys stimulated to release EPO, speeds development of Proerythroblasts to reticulocytes, raises O2 carrying capacity in blood
RBC lifespan, where destroyed by what
120 days
spleen, liver, red bone marrow phagocytize
macrophages
RBC breaks down into - 6
iron - transferred to marrow by transferrin
Biliverdin - green
Bilirubin - yellow, released into sm. intestines
Urobilinogen - breakdown of bilirubin in lg. intestines
urobilin - breakdown of urobilinogen, secreted in urine
Stercobilin - breakdown of urobilinogen, excreted in feces
granulocytes -3, and ID
Neutrophil - 3-5 lobes of nucleus
Eosinophil - 2 lobes
Basophil - stain prevents seeing nucleus
Agranulocytes - 2
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
