BIO141 Exam 3 Flashcards
What 2 things are is blood msotly made of?
Plasma and Red Blood Cells
What kind of structure do red blood cells have and what does this do
they are bi concave and add surface area
why are red blood cells slightly flexible
to enter capillaries
do rbcs have organelles?
no
lifespane of RBCs
120 days
another name for RBCs
erthyroctyes
what makes an RBC red
hemoglobin
what is heme
pigment
what molecule does heme have on it and what does it do
Fe atom that holds Ocygen
color and name of high oxygen blood
bright red oxyhemoglobin
color and name of low oxygen blood
dark red deoxyhemoglobin
how many protein chains are in hemoglobin and what kinds are they
4
2 alpha
2 beta
how many hemes are in each protein chain of a hemoglobin
1
2 things to cause anemia
low hemoglobin or low functioning RBCs
name 3 symptoms of anemia
lethargy
weakness
tiredness
how does blood loss anemia occur
RBCs are lost due to hemmorage
NSAIDs
non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs
what drug can cause stomach and gi bleeding
aspirin
most common form of anemia and what happens
iron deficiency anemia
not enough iron to make heme which carries o2
pernicious anemia and what is causes
low B12 causes low RBC production
describe what happens with sickle cell
mutation in one amino acid of beta chain in hemoglobin causes mutation. RBCs become fragile and rigid and stick together
RBC production
erythropoesis
what 2 hormones stimulate erythropoesis
peptide hormone erythropoetin
androgens - testorterone
what stimulates EPO
low oxygen in blood
which gender has more RBC
Men
where are RBCs made?
bone marrow
Where are the o2 sensors for blood
kidneys
what is the major problem with blood doping
in increases the viscosity of blood with more RBCs and makes it harder to pump
hemostasis
the process of stopping blood or bleeding
what is released during the vascular phase and what does it do?
endothelial which constricts smooth muscle to slow blood flow
what occurs during platelet phase?
plateletes release chemicals causing sticking and agregating near endothelian surfaces
what two things are needed during the coagulation phase and what do they create
Ca and vitamin k that produce fibrin
what are the three hemostasis phases in order
vascular
platelet
coagulation
fucntion of conducting system
to bring air from outside deep into lungs
3 functions of nose and nasal cavaity
clean, warm, and humidify air
function of the pharnyx
same as the nasal cavaity
function of larnyx and cooquial
the adam’s apple keeps food and water out oflugs
function of trachea
moving and cleaning air toward lungs with cilia
name parts of the bronchi tree
primary bronchi
secondary bronchi
tertiaty bronchi
bronchilkoes
terminal bronchioles
respitory bronchioles
where does gas exchange occur
across the membrnaes of the alveoli
respitory membrne
where the alveoli meet capillaries and gas exchange occurs
function of surfactant
keeps alveoli walls from connecting and collapsing by lowering water molecule attraction
what occurs when a baby is born before alveoli start producing surfactant
infant respitory distress syndrome
what kind of bonds does surfactant interfere with
hydrogen bonds
pressure within the lungs
intrapulmonary pressure
boyle’s law
as volume increases, pressure decreases
