blood review Flashcards
the 2 systems that provides transportation and protection for the body
Cardiovascular and lymphatic
the liquid part of blood
plasma
the formed elements of blood
red blood cells
white bloo cells
platelets
chemicals dissolved in blood that are needed by cells to stay alive
hormones
the blood cells that carry most of the oxygen
red
these are dissolved in plasma and transported to excretory organs
waste
the most abundant type of dissolved solute in the plasma
protiens
plasma proteins that help thicken blood
albumin
plasma protiens that include antibodies that help protect us from infections
globulins
plasma proteins necessary for blood clotting
Fibrinogen
plasma without its clotting factors that contains anitbodies used to treat patients with certain needs
serum
number of liters of blood in the typical adult
5 liters
the 3 types of formed elements of blood
red blood cells
white blood cells
platelets
another name for red blood cells
erythrocytes
another name for white blood cells
leukocytes
another name for platelets
thrombocytes
granular leukocytes
neutophils
Eosinophils
basophils
nongranular leukocytes
lymphocytes
monocytes
2 kinds of connective tissue that make blood cells
bone marrow
lymphatic tissue
the formation of blood cells
hematopoiesis
immature blood cells
blast cells
where is red bone marrow primarily found
flat bones
these cells have an unusual of unique shape, looking “caved-in” on both sides (being thinner in the center)
red blood cells
mature RBC’s are lacking this
nucleus
functions of RBC’s
tranport oxygen and carbon dioxide
the cause of the red pigment of RBC’s and iron-containing protein
hemoglobin
united hemoglobin and oxygen
Oxyhemoglobin
disorder invloving the inability of blood to carry sufficient oxygen to the body cells
anemia
2 causes for the disorder anemia
nutrional anemias or bone marrow suppression
disorder caused by the lack of vitamin b12
Pernicious anemia
disorder caused when bone marrow produces an excess of RBC’s the blood may become so thick that it does not flow properly
polycythemia
this disorder is caused by hemoglobin lacking a critical component; iron
Iron deficiency anemia
common cause of death of sickle cell patients
stroke
WBC’s that engulf mircobes
phagocytes
cells that engulf microbes & digest them
phagocytes
WBC’s that help protect us from infection
phagocytes
granulocytic WBC’s that help protect against parasites & numerous irritants that cause allergies
eosinophils
WBC’s that function in allergic reactions and secrete the potent chemical heparin which helps prevent the clotting of blood as it floods through the blood vessels of the body
basophils
Abnormally low WBC count
leukopenia
Abnormally high WBC count
leukocytosis
malignant disorder in which the number of WBC’s increases tremendously
Leukemia
these become sticky at the point of injury and accumulate near the opening in the broken blood vessel
platelets
vitamin sometimes prescribed before surgery to ensure patients blood will clot quickly to prevent hemorrhage
vitamin K
A. clot that stays in the place where it formed
B. the name of this condition
thrombus, thombosis
A. part of the clot that dislodges and circulates in bloodstream
B. the name of this condition
embolus, embolism
substance that activates immune system
antogens
universal recipient
AB+
universal donor
o-
disorder caused by the mothers Rh antibodies reacting with the babys Rh-positive cells
Rh incompatibility
