Blood Flashcards
mature red blood cells mature where
bone marrow
the first layer of RBC
H antigen layer
antigen
identifies what kind of cell it is
blood types
AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, OO, O
blood recipients
O: A, B, AB, O
A: A, AB
B: B, AB
AB: AB
Rh factor
if you contain this protein, you are Rh+, if you don’t you are Rh-
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) functions
hemoglobin, bi-concave,
transport: oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, and removes metabolic waste and CO2,
regulates: body temp, pH, fluid volume
protects: prevents infection and blood loss
viscosity def and abnormalities
thickness of blood
- high blood count: prone to clots
- low blood count: low iron and oxygen (anemia)(low hemoglobin)
components of blood
RBC, WBC, platelets + plasma (90%)
blood layers
Plasma: 55% of blood, least dense, 91.5% water, and 8.5% solutes
Buffy Coat: WBC and platelets
Erythrocytes: 45% of blood, most dense
globulins
antibodies, transport proteins
types of globulins
alpha and beta made in the liver and aid in the transport of fat and fat solubles
gamma globulin (antibodies) are produced by plasma cells and are located in lymph nodes
pH of blood
7.35-7.45
- drop is acidosis
- increase is alkalosis
hemoglobin
- 250 mill per RBC
- responsible for the cells’ ability to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
- produced in bone marrow
- 4 sub-units, 2 alpha, 2 beta
Red bone marrow turns into…
hematopoietic to myeloid progenitor to megakaryocyte to platelets, or erythrocyte, mast cell, myeloblast to basophil, neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte to macrophage
hematopoietic to lymphoid progenitor to natural killer or small lymphocyte to t lymphocyte or b lymphocyte to plasma cell
