Blood & Cardiovascular Flashcards
Whole blood
- Plasma + formed elements
How to form serum?
remove clotting factor (protein) from plasma
Hematopoisis
-Myeloid tissue
-lymphoid tissue
Myeloid tissue
-found in the sternum, ribs,hips
-forms all blood cells except lympocytes
-another term for myeloid?
Lymphoid tissue
-found in the lymph nodes, thymus, spleen
-lymphocytes and monocytes found in all stages
Erythrocyte
- aka RBC (red blood cell)
- transports oxygen and carbon dioxide
Neutrophil
-Phagocyte
-attack things that does not belong to the body
Eosinophil
-defense against parasites
-uses chemical warfare
-cytokines
Monocytes
-phagocytes
-microphage happens when transferred into another tissue
Monocytes
-phagocytes
-microphage happens when transferred into another tissue
Platelets
-will become sticky to attempt lowering bloodloss
-bloodclot to achieve hemostasis
-AKA thrombocytes
-for coagulation
T-lymphocytes
-will attack what’s infront
-uses chemical warfare
RBC’s
-red blood cells
-unique biconcave shape
-transports oxygen
-80 to 120 days lifespan
-when matured, gets rid of nucleus
-vitamin b-12 is needed to mature
Hb
Hemagoblin
CBC
complete blood count
Hct
-Hematocrit
-number of red blood cells in given volume
Hemogoblin
-specifically shaped to hold protein
-iron is need to complete hemoglobin
Contains Oxygen
-Oxyhemoglobin
-found in the lungs
Contains Carbon dioxide
-Carbominohemoglobin
-found everywhere
Anemia
-insufficient RBC or HB that carries oxygen
Hemorrhagic
blood loss exceeds the rate of blood that can be replaced
Aplastic
damage on blood forming elements/tissue/red marrow
Prenicious
-the lack of vitamin b-12
Iron defficiency
not enough iron to fill the 4 quadrants
sickle cell
-abnormality in forming hemoglobin
-changes the shape of hemoglobin
Polycythemia
-opposite of anemia
-excess of RBC
-due to inborn/high altitude areas
-blood gets to thick, the heart needs more energy to pump it
-heart grows(also the insides) due to pumping, making the inside of the heart cramped
-causes high blood pressure
Ag
-Antigen
-recognizable protein
