BLOOD Flashcards
Specialized connective tissue which plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis in the living organism
Blood
How many percent of the total body weight does blood comprise
7-9%
How many liters of blood are for male and for female
Male with 5-6 liters
Female with 4-5 liters
Red color of arterial blood is due to oxygenated_
Hemoglobin
Functions of blood includes
Transport
Protection
Regulation
Functions of blood were oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues
Transport
Functions of blood where it can clot preventing excessive loss of blood
Protection
Functions of blood where platelets maintain homeostasis and it controls PH acid-base balance also it help dissipate heat to the environment
Regulation
Components of blood includes
Plasma and formed elements
It is the liquid portion of the blood
Plasma
It is a 90% solvent for dissolving and transport of nutrients which is a component of blood under plasma
Water
Five components of plasma
Water
Plasma proteins
Plasma electrolytes
Nutrients and waste products
Gases and buffers
Three components of plasma proteins
Albumin
Globulin
Fibrinogen
Promotes water retention to maintain blood volume and pressure
Albumin
Gettier molecule to transport liquid and fat soluble vitamin in the blood
Globulin
Globulin used as anti-bodies
Immunoglobulin
Components of plasma proteins which aids blood clotting
Fibrinogen
Plasma - fibrinogen and other protein equals
Serum
Inorganic molecules that separate into ions when they are dissolved in water
Plasma electrolytes
To charge ions under plasma electrolytes
Cat ions and anions
This includes glucose amino acid phospholipid triglyceride free fatty acid and cholesterol
Nutrients
These includes lactic acid and nitrogenous waste such as urea
Metabolic wastes
This include oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide which are principal gases dissolved in plasma
Gases and buffers
These are whole cell or cell fragments
Formed elements
What are the formed elements and their corresponding other terms
Red blood cell or erythrocyte
White blood cell or leukocyte
Platelets or thrombocytes
Plasma informed elements consist of how many percent each in the blood
Plasma consist of 55% and formed elements with 45%
These are the most numerous blood cells and are about 1,000 times more numerous than white blood cells
Red blood cells or erythrocytes
How many erythrocytes are there in male and female
For male 4.5 to 5 million
For female 4 to 5 million
Shape of erythrocytes
Biconcave disc
Does erythrocytes possess nucleus
No
Does erythrocytes possess cytoplasmic organelles
No
It contains oxygen carrying protein hemoglobin that gives blood its color
Red blood cells or erythrocytes
What is the lifespan of erythrocytes
120 days or 4 months
Old red blood cells are erythrocytes are removed by
Macrophages in spleen
Production of erythrocytes
Erythropoiesis
