Blood for exam 2 of histology Flashcards
What is the function of blood
transport nutrient, O2, waste and CO2. Also Delivers hormones, maintain of homeostasis, coagulation and thermoregulation. transport of cells of the immune system and humoral agents
what are the different types of blood cells
Erythrocytes, leukocytes and Thrombocytes
What does plasma make up
45 to 55%
Erythrocytes volume: women: 35%-45% and males 40%- 50
What are the proteins of Plasma
Albumin, Globulin and Fibrinogen
What is Albumin
Its a protein that regulates colloid osmotic pressure made in the liver. it binds and transports hormones (thyroxin) metabolites( bilirubin) and drugs (barbiturates)
What is Globulins
it is a protein that deals with immunoglobulins (antibodies) and maintain osmotic pressure and are carrier proteins of alpha, beta and gamma
What is Fibroinogen
it is protein made in the liver and responds to coagulation factors
How examination of blood
giesma, Wright’s, leishman
What are Erythrocytes
Non-nucleated biconcave, hemoglobin underlying cytoskeleton
Facts erythrocytes
destroyed after 120 days by the spleen
Reticulocytes replace and mature in 1 to 2 days
binding of the lattice network to membrane is by ankyrin, which interacts with band 4.2 protein and band 3 integral membrane protein
what are the integral proteins of erythrocytes
intergral membrane proteins: Glycophorins and band 3 proteins
What are the peripheral membrane proteins of erythrocytes
peripheral membrane protein: actin adducin, band 4.9, tropmyosin, spectrin, band 4.1 all these for a latice network
What is elliptocytosis
autosomal dominant disorder where the oval shaped RBC have defective spectrin, protein 4.1 defects, abnormal glycophorin. there is a change in behavior and shape of cells
What is Spherocytosis
autosomal dominant disorder, deficiency of spectrin or ankyrin
features are : anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly
What is polycythemia
increase in hematocrit
what is poikilocytosis
abnormally shaped RBC
What is Sickle cell anemia
Point mutation glutamic acid replaced by valine. Defected hemoglobin, change biconcave to sickle shape
What is thalassemia syndrome
Heritable anemia, defective synthesis of alpha or beta chains of normal hemoglobin
mostly hba 98%, hba2 and hbf
what is Erythroblastosis fetalis
Blood group incompatibility between mother and fetus
What is hypo-chromatic anemia
of cells normal but they contain reduced amount of hemoglobin
What is iron deficiency
production of erythrocytes with insufficient hemoglobin (anemia)
What would reticulocyte increase
when there is a demand for increase o2, like hemorrhage or change in altitude
What is pernicious anemia
Severe B12 deficiency. impaired production of gastric intrinsic factor by parietal cells in stomach
What is Diapedesis
leukocytes leave bloodstream between cells
