Q

What does Oxogen and Nutrients Defuse through to the Interstitial Fluid?

A

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.

Q

What is the process of Co2 and other waste products leave the body?

A

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.

16
Q

What is Albumins Function?

A

Its Function is to Help maintain Osmotic pressure, an important factor in the exchange of fluids across blood capillary walls.

17
Q

Describe Globulins?

A

This is a blood plasma protein.
It is a Large protein (plasma cells produce immunoglobulins).
it is a Antibody of the blood.

18
Q

What is Globulins Function in the body?

A

Help attack antigens. They also help transport ions, lipids and aft soluble Vitamins.

19
Q

Describe Fibrinogen

A

It is a Large protein in the Blood plasma.

20
Q

What is Fibrinogens Function?

A

It plays an essential role in blood clotting.

21
Q

What is the Liver cell called that makes most of the Plasma Proteins?

A

It is the cell (Hepatocytes).

22
Q

What is the Liver cell called that makes most of the Plasma Proteins?

A

It is the cell (Hepatocytes).

23
Q

Overall what does the Blood plasma Contain?

A

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.

24
Q

What are another name for Antibodies?

A

They are also called (Immunoglobulins).

25
Q

What is the plasma Protein Globulin also called?

A

It is an Antibody.

26
Q

What is taken away from the Whole blood for there just to be Blood Plasma?

A

The Whole blood is made up of 55% Blood Plasma and 45% Formed Elements that include White blood Cells, red blood cells and Platelets.

27
Q

What is an (Antigen)?

A

This is a Foreign substance such as a Bacterium and viruses.

28
Q

What in general is the Formed Elements portion of the blood made up of?

A

It is composed of RBC’s, WBC’s, Platelets.

29
Q

What is another name for RBC’s?

A

They are also called “Erythrocytes”.

30
Q

What is another name for RBC’s?

A

They are also called “Erythrocytes”.

31
Q

What are the 3 main components of the Formed Elements portion of the blood?

A

Red Blood cells (RBC’s) White Blood Cells (WBC’s) & Platelets.

32
Q

What is another name for WBC’s?

A

They are also referred to as Leukocytes.

33
Q

What are all the Types of WBC’s?

A

All the types of WBC’s include:

Neutrophils, Basophils, Eosinophils, Monocytes & Lymphocytes.

34
Q

What are Platelets?

A

This is a type of formed Element of the blood.
They are fragments of cells that do not have a nucleus and help in blood clotting and also by releasing chemicals to help this process.

35
Q

What is the total percentage of RBC’s in a blood volume is called?

A

This is called “Hematocrit”.

36
Q

What is a Significant drop in Hematocrit called?

A

It is named Anemia.

37
Q

What is a Hormone in the blood that Inhibits the production of RBC’s?

A

Testosterone.

38
Q

What are the normal level of Hematocrit for a Male?

A

38-46%

39
Q

What is a normal level of Hematocrit for a Female?
