composition of blood (5)
- plasma
- formed elements
- rbc
- wbc
- platelets
plasma what % water
92
plasma what % of blood volume
55
plasma proteins + functions
albumins (pressure regulation), globulin (immune function), fibrinogen (clotting)
plasma similar to what and why
interstitial fluid - like chemistry increases body’s adaptation
most numerous in blood
rbc
blood volume male and female
male 5-6, female 4-5
plasma protein %’s
albumin 60, globulin 35, fibrinogen 4
what synthesizes more than 90% of plasma proteins
liver
where are antibodies produced
plasma cells of lymphatic system
what is anemia
rbcs have low hemoglobin, quicker fatigue
rbc lifespan
120 days
can rbcs repair
no
jaundice caused by
bile ducts in liver are blocked, bilirubin diffuses into peripheral tissue
what is bilirubin
breakdown of rbcs
what is erythropoietin
stimulates rbc production
where is epo created
released by kidneys
antigens in blood types?
a = antigen a only, b = antigen b only, ab = both antigens a and b, o = neither a nor b
wrong blood type pairing results in
blood clumping
universal recipient
ab
universal donor
o
what is hemolytic disease called and what is it
hemolytic disease of the newborn (hdn), mother’s antibodies cross placenta, attack fetal rbc’s
what wbc accounts for 50-70% of circulating wbcs
neutrophils
first wbc to arrive at injury?
neutrophil
