Q

How is the cellular components of blood formed ?

A

By the differentiation of a pluripotent stem cell in a process termed hematopoiesis. In the fetus hematopoiesis occurs first outside of the bone marrow in the liver,spleen lymph nodes and thymus

Q

What does plasma do ?

A

Transports the cellular components of blood and dissolved nutrients throughout the body and,at the same time transports waste products from cellular metabolism to the liver,kidneys, lungs where they can be removed from body.

Q

What are the 2 sub populations of lymphocytes and what do they do ?

A

The T cells are responsible for developing cell mediated immunity which is responsible for delayed hyper sensitivity reactions, tumour suppression,graft rejection and defence against intracellular organisms.
The B cells produce antibodies to combat infection

Q

What do platelets do ?

A

Activated upon contact with injured tissues.
Contact stimulates enzyme within the platelet causing the surface to become sticky allowing the platelets to aggregate and form a plug.
As platelets aggregate they also release chemical messengers that also activate the blood clotting system.

Q

What causes a shift to the right on the Oxygen-Hemoglobin dissociation curve?

A
  • Decreased pH
  • Increased CO2
  • Increased temperature
  • Increase 2,3 DPG
18
Q

What is sequestration?

A

Trapping of RBCs by an organ (ie. spleen)

19
Q

What are the types of granulocytes?

A

Basophils
Eosinophils
Neutrophils

20
Q

Monocytes can further mature into…?

A

Macrophages

21
Q

Which WBC’s attack tumours and participate in tissue repair?

A

Monocytes

22
Q

What are the primary cells involved in the body’s immune response?

A

Lymphocytes

23
Q

What lymphocytes are responsible for cell mediated immunity?

A

T-cells

24
Q

What lymphocytes are responsible for humoral immunity?

A

B-cells

25
Q

What type of immunity keeps a memory of previous infections?

A

humoral immunity (B-cells)

26
Q

What are effector cells responsible for?

in regards to - cell mediated immunity

A

Delayed type hypersensitivity reactions
Tumour suppression
Graft rejection
Defence against intracellular organisms

27
Q

How does HIV affect the immune response?

A

Destroys cell mediated immunity by selectively attacking and killing T-cells

28
Q

What is the inflammatory process?

A

Nonspecific defence mechanism that wards off damage from microorganisms or trauma

29
Q

What are the signs of local inflammation?

A

Pain
Redness
Swelling
Heat

30
Q

What is thrombocytopenia?

A

Having too few platelets that can lead to bleeding problems and blood loss.

31
Q

What are the 3 steps in the coagulation cascade?

A
  1. Intrinsic pathway: platelets release substances leading to formation of prothrombin activator
    OR
    Extrinsic pathway: tissue damage substances leading to formation of prothrombin activator
  2. Common pathway: prothrombin activator converts prothrombin into thrombin
  3. Thrombin: converts fibrinogen into fibrin (which traps blood cells and platelets to form clot)
32
Q

The kidney and to a lesser extent the liver produce ______

A

Erythropoietin

The hormone responsible for red blood cell production

33
Q

________ the process through which pluripotent stem cells differentiate into various types of blood cells

A

Hematopoiesis

34
Q

The _____ system consists of blood, bone marrow, the live, the spleen and kidneys

A

Hematopoietic system

35

Q

The ________ removes toxins from the blood and produces many is the clotting factors and proteins in plasma

A

Liver
