Q

What is the plasma oncotic pressure - colloid osmotic pressure about plasma proteins?

A

Proteins are the only solutes which do not pass freely between plasma and interstitial fluid
Thus it is only proteins which exert a significant osmotic
effect across capillary walls – important in distribution of
ECF between vascular and interstitial compartments so
important in the maintenance of circulatory volume

Q

What are the principles of blood matching?

A
  1. The immune system of the recipient will attack and destroy RBCs with “foreign” antigens.
  2. The immune system will not notice and will not be bothered by the absence of an antigen.
  3. The immune system will not attack “self” antigens.

62
Q
A

EPO is released from the kidney and kidney is important for reduced oxygen capacity of blood and when there is less oxygen secreted into kidneys they release this hormone

63
Q

What happens to EPO at high altitude?

A

high altitude you have increased EPO production - athletes “high altitude training” as can take more oxygen

64
Q
A

Anaemia - reduced Hb in RBCs due to iron defiency

65
Q

Types of anaemia?

A

Nutritional, pernicious, aplastic, renal, hemorrhagic and hemolytic

66
Q

What is pernicious anaemia?

A

Pernicious anaemia is when you cannot absorb vitamin B12 IN GIT - deficient intrinsic factor

67
Q

What is aplastic anaemia?

A

Bone marrow cannot make enough RBCs due to cancer chemo/radiotherapy for example

68
Q

What do red blood cells look like in sickle cell anaemia?

A

crescent / sickle shaped

69
Q

what are the 2 types of polcythemia?

A

primary and secondary

70
Q

Hemostasis, what is it and how many steps?

A

3 steps

71
Q
A

vascular spasm which reduces blood flow through a damaged vessel

72
Q
A

platelets important here

73
Q
A

Blood coagulation is clotting which is the transformation of liquid into solid

74
Q

Platelets

A

Smallest element in the blood, no nucleus, fragments of megakaryocytes and they make most mass of blood clots, they release serotonin

75
Q
A

clotting factors are always present in blood plasma in inactive precursor form

76
Q
A

they inhibit platelet aggregation so it is confined to the area it is needed

77
Q

How may plasma clotting factors are they?

A

12 plasma clotting factors which are important

78
Q

How many pathways are there in the clotting cascade and what are they

A

2 pathways: intrinsic - internal vessels, extrinisic - external vessels

79
Q

Main difference between 2 pathways

A

intrinsic is more complex there are 7 steps whereas extrinsic only has 4

80
Q

intrinsic

A

factor 12 activates factor 11 activates factor 9 which activates factor 10

81
Q

What do both pathways do in the end?

A

they both at the end make factor 10 active

82
Q

What is the role of thrombin in homeostais?

A

Component in clotting cascade: multiple roles in homeostasis
Stimulates

83
Q

Abnormal blood clotting?

A

Thrombus: abnormal intravascular clot attached to a vessel wall
Emboli: freely floating clots

84
Q

Factors that can cause thromboembolism?

A
85
Q
A

Hemophilia generally affects men

86
Q

What are erythrocytes in 2 ways:

A

Red blood cells and important in oxygen transport

87
Q

What are leukocytes in 2 ways?

A

White blood cells and the immune system’s mobile defense units

88
Q

What are platelets in 2 ways?

A

Cell fragments and important in homeostais

89
Q

How much % does plasma make up of the blood?

A

55%

90
Q

What % are red blood cells of blood - erthrocytes?

A

45%

91
Q

What % are platelets and leukocytes - white blood cells of whole blood?

A

<1% of whole blood

92
Q

What is the function of plasma proteins?

A

In general, they exert an osmotic effect important in distribution of ECF between vascular and interstitial compartments; buffer pH changes

93
Q

What is the function of albumins?

A

Transport many substances and contribute mos to colloid osmotic pressure

94
Q

What is the function of alpha and beta globulins?

A

They trasnport many water-insoluble substances, clotting factors, inactive precursor molecules

95
Q

Function of gamma globulins:

A

Antibodes

96
Q

Physical description of leukocytes - white blood cells?

A

Spherical nucleated cells

97
Q

What does lymphoid stem cell become?

A

Becomes lymphocytes in Lymphoid tissues and then becomes lymphocytes in circulation: T and B lymphocytes

98
Q

What else can these glycoproteins that RBCs have in their membranes for blood groups be called?

A

These glycoproteins are also called antigens as they can cause the immune system to make antibodies.
These glycoproteins are also called agglutinogens because they can cause agglutination, or clumping of cells

99
Q

How does the anatomy of RBCs as biconcave discs help their function?

A

Biconcave disks allows for efficient diffusion as there is a large surface area for diffusion of oxygen across the membrane. This very flexible shape allows RBCs to travel through narrow capillaries without rupturing in the process

100
Q

What does Type B blood group mean?

A

Type B means RBCs have B and not A

101
Q

What happens if wrong blood groups is given?

A

RBCs will usually rupture and hemoglobin precipitates in kidney which interferes with kidney function
Clumping also blocks blood flow in capillaries and oxygen and nutrient flow to cells and tissues is reduced
