blood Flashcards
adult blood volume
5 liters
form mostly in the red bone marrow
blood cells
maintains the stability of interstitial fluid
blood
transports vital substances
blood
biconcave discs
rbc
components of hemoglobin
oxyhemoglobin
deoxyhemoglobin
able to readily squeeze through capillaries
rbc
lack nuclei and mitochondria
rbc
rbc count in male
4.6M-6.2M
rbc count in female
4.2M-5.4M
rbc count in children
4.5M-5.1M
stimulates rbc production
erythropoeitin
negative feedback production
rbc production
subunits of hemoglobin protein
hemes
what gives blood its color
heme
hemoglobin with oxygen
oxyhemoglobin
hemoglobin without oxygen
deoxyhemoglobin
hemoglobin that contains Fe3+ instead of Fe2+ in heme groups
methemoglobin
CO binds to Fe2+ in heme in the case of CO poisoning or smoking
carbonylhemoglobin
CO2 is non-covalent bound to globin chain of hemoglobin
carbaminohemoglobin
formed simultaneously by nonenzymatic reaction with Glc.
glycohemoglobin
substance that function in the DNA synthesis
vit b12
substance that function in hemoglobin synthesis
iron
substance that also function in DNA synthesis
folic acid
caused by toxic chemicals and raduation and defected by a damaged bone marrow
aplastic anemia
caused by toxic chemicals and defected by rbc destruction
hemolytic anemia
caused by dietary lack of action and is deficient in hemoglobin
iron deficiency anemia
caused by inability to absorbs vit b12 and an excess of immature cells
pernicious anemia
caused by a defective gene and abnormally shaped rbc
sickle cell disease
caused by a defective gene and is hemoglbin deficient, rbc short-lived
thalessemia
cells that protect against diseases
wbc
first to arrive at infections
neutrophils
lobed nucleus
neutrophils
elevated in bacterial infections
neutrophils
light purple granules in acid-base (neutral) stains
neutrophils
deep red granules in acid stain
eosinophiles
