Cardiology: The Blood Contents Flashcards
What is the definition of blood?
Blood is a liquid connective tissue that consist of cells surrounded by a liquid extracellular matrix.
The Extracellular matrix is called Blood Plasma, and is suspends various cells and cell fragments.
What is a substance in the body that baths body cells and is renewed by blood?
Interstitial fluid.
What is Interstitial Fluid?
it is a Fluid that baths body cells and is consistently renewed by blood.
What does Oxogen and Nutrients Defuse through to the Interstitial Fluid?
When nutrients or oxogen is moving from the GI tract or lungs it must Defuse from the blood into the Interstitial Fluid and then into the body cells.
What is the process of Co2 and other waste products leave the body?
They move in the reverse direction of Oxogen.
From body cells to Interstitial Fluid to blood, Then it gets transported to organs of the body that will eliminate it.
What are the Functions of blood?
The Blood has three General Functions:
Transportation
Regulation
Protection
How does the blood provide Transportation for the body?
In summary the blood brings in Oxogen and removes C02.
It transports heat around the body and Hormones of the Endocrine glands.
It carries nutrients from the GI to the body cells.
How does the blood provide Regulation for the body?
It helps regulate the PH with buffers.
Helps regulate Temp of the body using water and Blood plasma.
The osmotic pressure influenced by water and desoveled ions and proteins.
What is the Temp of the blood?
38*C
What is the Temp of the blood?
38*C
What is the average PH of the Blood?
It Ranges from 7.35 - 7.45
What are the Different types of blood plasma Proteins?
Albumins
Globulins
Fibrinogen
What are the other Solutes that are in the blood?
Electrolytes Nutrients Gases Regulatory Substances Waste products
Describe Albumins
This is a Blood Plasma Protein.
It is the smallest and most numerous Blood plasma Protein.
What are the Specs on Blood Plasma?
91.5% water
7% Blood plasma Proteins
1.5% Other Solutes
What is Albumins Function?
Its Function is to Help maintain Osmotic pressure, an important factor in the exchange of fluids across blood capillary walls.
Describe Globulins?
This is a blood plasma protein.
It is a Large protein (plasma cells produce immunoglobulins).
it is a Antibody of the blood.
What is Globulins Function in the body?
Help attack antigens. They also help transport ions, lipids and aft soluble Vitamins.
Describe Fibrinogen
It is a Large protein in the Blood plasma.
What is Fibrinogens Function?
It plays an essential role in blood clotting.
What is the Liver cell called that makes most of the Plasma Proteins?
It is the cell (Hepatocytes).
What is the Liver cell called that makes most of the Plasma Proteins?
It is the cell (Hepatocytes).
Overall what does the Blood plasma Contain?
When the Formed elements are removed form the blood then you are left with 55% blood plasma & 45% Formed elements.
91.5% of this is water/ 7% is Plasma proteins/ 1.5% includes other solutes.
The 3 types of plasma proteins are:
Albumins, Globulins, Fibrinogens.
The Globulins are AKA Antibodies.
What are another name for Antibodies?
They are also called (Immunoglobulins).
