BLOOD Flashcards
INTRO TO BLOOD what are major functions of blood
- transport
- defense
- hemostasis
INTRO TO BLOOD what is hemostasis
prevention of blood loss
INTRO TO BLOOD what does blood travel though
blood vessels
INTRO TO BLOOD what does it mean for blood cells to sediment
fall to bottom of tube
INTRO TO BLOOD what causes sedimentation
1, gravity
2. centrifugal force
INTRO TO BLOOD what is hematocrit
percentage of total blood vol that is occupied by RBC that fall to bottom of tube
INTRO TO BLOOD what are the layers from centrifugation from top of tube to bottom of tube
- plasma
- WBC + platelets ==> buddy coat
- RBC
INTRO TO BLOOD how to determine hematocrit
height of RBC / height of all blood
INTRO TO BLOOD what is plasma
fluid portion of blood
INTRO TO BLOOD what is plasma a part of
body’s ECF
INTRO TO BLOOD why is plasma part of body’s ECF
plasma is outside cells that are within blood vessel
INTRO TO BLOOD what are components of ECF
- plasma
2. interstitial fluid
INTRO TO BLOOD where is interstitial fluid
outside blood vessel
INTRO TO BLOOD what is composition of plasma (4)
- water
- electrolytes
- substances being transported
- plasma proteins
INTRO TO BLOOD what are 3 main groups of plasma proteins
- globulins
- albumen
- fibrinogen
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function of plasma proteins (5)
- distributing body water
- buffering
- transporting
- defense
- hemostasis
INTRO TO BLOOD what do plasma proteins contribute to
osmotic gradient
INTRO TO BLOOD what happens if conc of plasma proteins inside blood vessel decreases
less water moves from tissues to blood vessel
INTRO TO BLOOD what happens if conc of plasma proteins inside blood vessel increases
more water moves from tissue to blood vessel
INTRO TO BLOOD what are plasma proteins
hormones
INTRO TO BLOOD what do plasma proteins do w hormones they bind
carry them throughout blood
INTRO TO BLOOD what are 3 major cell types in blood
- RBC
- WBC
- platelets
INTRO TO BLOOD what are the different types of WBC
- neutrophil
- eosinophil
- basophil
- monocyte
- T lymphocyte
- B lymphocyte
INTRO TO BLOOD order of cells from most numerous to least numerous
- RBC
- platelets
- WBC
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function of RBC
transport oxygen
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the shape of RBC
circular
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function fo platelets
hemostasis
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the shape of platelets
circular
INTRO TO BLOOD what is size of platelet
smaller than RBC
INTRO TO BLOOD how are WBC grouped together
- polymorphonuclear granulocytes
- monocyte
- lymphocytes
INTRO TO BLOOD what are polymorphonuclear granulocytes
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
- basophils
INTRO TO BLOOD how many nuclei do poly granulocytes contain
1
INTRO TO BLOOD what does 1 nucleus contain
multiple lobes
INTRO TO BLOOD what does granulocyte mean
cyto contains granules
INTRO TO BLOOD what are the largest type of WBC
monocytes
INTRO TO BLOOD what are the lymphocytes
T and B
INTRO TO BLOOD what is overall role of WBC s
defense
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function of neutrophils
phagocytosis
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function of eosinophils
defence against parasites
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function of basophils
inflammation
INTRO TO BLOOD what is the function of monocytes
phagocytosis
INTRO TO BLOOD what are B cells involved in
humoral immunity
INTRO TO BLOOD what are T cells involved in
cellular immunity
INTRO TO BLOOD what is hematopoiesis
process of producing blood cell types
INTRO TO BLOOD where does location of hematopoiesis depend on
age
INTRO TO BLOOD where does hematopoiesis occur post natal
bone marrow
INTRO TO BLOOD where does hematopoiesis occur pre natal
- yolk sac
- liver
- spleen
INTRO TO BLOOD what does hematopoiesis begin with
multi potential stem cell
INTRO TO BLOOD where is multi potential stem cell located
inside bone marrow
INTRO TO BLOOD what does multi potential stem cell undergo
division
INTRO TO BLOOD what happens during division of multi potential stem cell
- one offspring remains as stem cell
2. one offspring goes on to get differentiated
INTRO TO BLOOD what happens after being differentiated into diff cell types
cells can pass into blood
INTRO TO BLOOD where are B cells produced
in bone marrow
INTRO TO BLOOD where are T cells produced
in thymus
