Body Fluids and Circulation Flashcards
Plamsa equals
Plasme=blood - formed elements
Serum equals
Plasma - clotting factors
Lymph equals
Blood -(rbc+platelets+macroproteins)
Blood protiens
Albumin- osmoregulation
Prothrombin- blood clotting
Globulin- for protection
Rbc number
5.55 mil/mm3
Leucocytes number
6-8k/mm3
Agranulocytes
MAL
Monocytes- phagocytic(kidney shaped nucleus)
Lymphocytes- protection(round nucleus)
Granulocytes
BEN
Basophils- like mast cells(s-shaped nucleus)
Eosinophils- anti-allergic, anti-parasitic(disc shaped nucleus)
Neutrophils- phagocytic(multilobed nucleus)
Platelets number
150-350k/mm3
Erythroblastosis foetalis
Mother rh- and baby rh+
Mother developes antibodies against rh antigen and hence second baby gets killed.
Coagulation
Prothrombin coverts into thrombin via thrombokinase(released by wounded area and blood)
Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin which forms soft clot around injury.
Open type system in
Arthropoda and mollusca
Closed circulation in
Annelida and chordata
