Q

Why can erythrocytes (RBCs) transport oxygen?
A. Because cells of the body need oxygen for metabolism
B. Because RBC’s contain hemoglobin which have heme units that bind to oxygen.
C. Because the heart creates a pressure gradient that forces blood and RBCs through the cardiovascular system
D. B&C
E. All of the above

A

B. Because RBC’s contain hemoglobin which have heme units that bind to oxygen.

34
Q

If all the 280 million molecules of hemoglobin inside RBCs were free in the plasma,
A. It would cause a considerable increase the blood oxygen carrying capacity
B. It would facilitate delivery of oxygen into tissues irrigated by small capillaries
C. It would facilitate the oxygen diffusion into cells distant from blood capillaries
D. It would significantly increase blood osmolarity

A

D. It would significantly increase blood osmolarity

35
Q

Hypoxemia is sensed by the ______ & ______ then secretes ______ which then stimulates __________ which causes accelerated erythropoesis and increased ______ and _______ transport

A

liver & kidneys, EPO, red bone marrow, RBC, oxygen
