Blood tissue Flashcards
Identify the 3 functions of blood.
- transports
- regulates
- protects
What does the cardiovascular system consist of?
It consists of 1. a pump (the heart), 2. a series of hoses (blood vessels), 3. Fluid connective tissue (blood)
What does blood transport? explain both paths
it transports oxygen and carbon.
It carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. It also carries carbon from tissues to the heart.
We know that one of the functions of blood is to regulate, but what does it regulate?
It regulates the PH and ions of interstitial fluid through buffer systems which balances the ph.
It also stabilizes our body temperature.
Identify the two ways our blood protects?
- limits blood loss through blood clotting
- fights infections and foreign cells
Our blood accounts for ____% of our body’s weight.
8%
what are the two types of blood compositions? what are there diffrences?
- Whole (solid) Formed elements
- Plasma (fluid)
Plasma is ____% of total blood volume and ___% of plasma is water.
55%
90%
Explain why plasma is similar to interstitial fluid.
it is similar to interstitial fluid because it exchanges ions, nutrients, and waste across capillary walls. Because of this it has more dissolved oxygen.
Identify the 3 plasma proteins
- Albumins
- Globulins
- Fibrinogen
Which plasma protein accounts for 60% of plasma, is a major contributor to osmolarity, and transports proteins?
A. Globulins
B. Fibrinogen
C. Albumins
D. Transferrin
Albumins
Which plasma protein accounts for 35% of plasma, produces Immunoglobulins (antibodies), and binds to small proteins that would have been transferred away?
A. Globulins
B. Fibrinogen
C. Albumins
D. Transferrin
Globulins
identify the proteins that globulins bind to
Metalloproteins, lipoproteins, and steroid proteins
Which hormone binds to iron specifically?
Transferrin
Which plasma protein is a soluble protein and helps with clotting?
A. Globulins
B. Fibrinogen
C. Albumins
D. Transferrin
