Cardio 4 Flashcards
difference between plasma and interstitial fluid
plasma proteins
Albumin
prevents too much filtration from occuring
globulins
clotting factors
fibrinogen
frms fibrin threads essential to blood clotting
tarnsferrin
iron transport
hematocrit
RBC’s
buffy coat
WBC and platelets
plasma (55-60%)
electrolytes, plasma proteins
hematopoiesis
- production of blood cells
- 75% of cell production is WBC
- guided by cytokines
erythropoietin
RBC production
stimulated by low oxygen (hypoxia) and guides erythropoietin
thrombopoietin
influences growth of megakaryocytes (platelets)
colony-stimulating factors, stem cell factor, interleukins
influences growth of blood cells and mobilized hematopietic stem cells
erythropoiesis
RBC production
Leukopoiesis
leukocyte (WBC) production (CSF’s)
thrombopoeiesis
thrombocyte (platelet) production (TPO)
