BLOOD Flashcards
The liquid matrix of the blood
plasma
the cells and cell fragments of the blood are
formed elements
Name the components of plasma,
proteins
water
other solutes
with anti coagulant
plasma
without anti coagulant
serum
makes up 58% of the plasma
proteins
albumin
38% of the plasma proteins
globulins
a clotting factor that constitutes 4% of plasma proteins
fibrinogens
are the most abundant of the formed elements.
Red blood cells (RBCs)
5% of the volume of the formed elements consists
white blood cells
(WBCs),
cell fragments
platelets
the process that produces formed elements.
hemotopoiesis
kills bacteria
neutrophils
kills virus
lymphocyte
kills both bacteria and virus
monocyte
kills parasite
eosinophil
stops allergy reactions
basophil
All the formed elements of blood are derived from a single
population of cells
stem cells or hemocytoblasts
responsible
for the cell’s red color.
hemoglobin
protein chain
globin
a redpigmented molecule
heme
If the liver is not functioning normally, or if the flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine is hindered, bilirubin builds up in the blood. As a consequence,
bilirubin can be deposited into other tissues, resulting in a condition called
jaundice
white
blood cells as well as platelets make up the
bbuffy coat
Dead neutrophils, cell
debris, and fluid can accumulate
pus
produced in the red bone marrow
platelets
large cells
megakaryocytes
