Blood Flashcards
Blood is made up of
45% rbc
55% plasma
1% wbc and plateletes
Rbc’s carry
Oxygen
Because they contain red respiratory pigment hemoglobin
Rbc lives
120 days and being destroyed in liver and spleen
When blood has low oxygen carrying capacity or iron deficiency
Anemia
Function of blood
Transports respiratory gases
• Removes metabolic wastes
• Maintains temperature, pH, and fluid volume
• Protects from blood loss - platelets
• Prevents infection- antibodies and WBC
• Transports hormones
Percentage by body weight of blood
8% blood
Plasma 55%
91% water
7% protein
2% other solutes
platelets <1%
250-400 thousand platelets
Wbc
Neutrophils 60-70%
Lymphocytes 20-25%
Monocytes 3-8%
Eosinophils 2-4%
Basophils 0.5-1%
7% protein in plasma
Albumins 58%
Globulins 38%
Fibrinogen 4%
