A

with hemoglobin - protein with iron compound heme
= rbc contains several million molecules of hemoglobin

37
Q

A

-= hemolysis in blood can cause jaundice and increase in blood bilirubin

(T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes,
and natural killer [NK] cells

42
Q

polumorphonuclear vs mononuclear meaning

A

polymorphonuclear, cells
that have a nucleus that is segmented into two or more lobes, and mononuclear,
cells that have a single-lobed nucleus

43
Q

A
  • neutrophils, 10-16 micrometers across their diameter and have 3 to 4 nuclear lobes
  • granules in cytoplasm of neutrophiuls appear tan, pink or lavender
  • neutrophils defend body against infections and avg life span is from 6 hrs t oa few days
    60-70% of total wbc count
44
Q

eosinophils

A
  • average 10 to 16 micrometers and have 2 nuclear lobes
  • low numbers
  • bright red orage with eosin
  • control inflammaotry reaction to prevent spread of inflammation
  • phagocytize and destroy parasites, respond to allergic reactions, help kill tumor cells
  • 8 to 12 days
    1-4% of total wbc count
45

basophils

A
  • bilobed nucleus and cytoplasmic granules that stain deep blue (may appear black)
  • 0-1% of total wbc count
  • assist with inflammatory response by releasing histamine, releasing heparin, vasodilator, increase during chronic inflammation
  • 10-16 micrometers across

  • large kindey shaped nucleui
    -fine cytoplasmic granules
  • 2-6% of total adult wbc
  • largest wbc
  • become macropgages
  • phagocytize dying cells, microorganisms and forieng substances, levels increasing during chronic infections

  • 7-15 micrometers
    dense, round nucleus surrounded by v little cytoplasm
48
Q

t cell vs b cell

A
  • T cells are formed in the thymus
  • B cells are formed in the lymphoid tissue of the bone marrow and in the lymph
    nodes.
  • T cells direct cell-mediated immune responses (cells helping other cells perform their function)
  • t cells can be subdivided into helper T cells and suppressor T cells.
  • Helper T cells, or CD4 cells, help other cells, such as monocytes, perform their functions
    more efficiently.
  • Suppressor T cells, or CD8 cells, control or stop another cell’s activities.
  • B-cells are responsible for humoral immunity (the production of antibodies)
49
Q

percent of neutorphils in infants at birth and children

A

up to 80%

children have 40-60% lymphocytes and 20-30% neutrophils

50
Q

what is b cell function (in more detail)

A
  • humor immunity
  • help defend the body by transforming into plasma cells,
    which then synthesize, or combine, and release antibody molecules. The antibodies are made to match the specific antigens that triggered their production.
    This B-cell response is called the humoral response because immunity is in the
    humors, or fluids, of the body
51
Q

what are nk cells ?

A
  • target body cells infected by viruses as well as other types of abnormal cells, including cancer cells.
  • rapidresponse to stressed or infected cells without the need for antibodies.
    After attaching to a targeted cell, the NK cell breaks through the cell’s membrane and injects chemicals that cause the cell to lyse (break up). NK cells
    are also thought to work with other types of lymphocytes to help control
    immune responses
52
Q

what are platelets?

A
  • smallest (1-4 micrometers)
  • no nucleus and r not complete cells
  • fragments of megakaryocytes (largest cell in bone marrow)
  • remain in circulation for 9-12 days
  • adult have 150K to 450K per cubic millimeter
  • secrete serotonin which causes bv to spasm
  • formed in bone marrow and removed by spleen
53
Q

what is plasma

A
  • pale yellow fluid
  • water -s 90-92@ of plasma (amt is monitored by kidney and pituatry gland)
  • nutrients through digestive sustem
  • hormones (ex: thymosin and insulin)
  • electrolytes
  • proteins : fibrinogen (clotting and made in liver), globulin (fight foreign invaders), albumin (regulating bp)
  • waste
  • protective substances (antitoxins, opsonin, agglutinin, bacteriolysins)
54
Q

serum vs plasma

A
  • plasma is liquid of unclotted blood (blood samples for plasma require anticoagulant - purple or lavender top)
  • serum is liquid portion of clotted blood - when fibrinogen converts into fibrin (liquid component without clotting factors) (clot in 10-30 min)
55
Q

what four events occur following injuries?

A
  1. Blood vessel spasm (vasoconstriction)
  2. Platelet plug formation
  3. Blood clotting (coagulation)
  4. Fibrinolysis, or dissolving of the clot and return of the vessel to normal
    function
55
Q

What is centrifugation?

A
  • spinning of test tubes at high temp to seperate anticoagulant blood into cells and plasm
56
Q

centrifuge for plasma vs serum

A
  • plasma is processed by centriguge then tested
  • serum is upright to coagulate then centrifuged before testing
57
Q

clotting factors

A

Factor I, II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X

58
Q

priamry hemostasis vs secondary hemostasis

A

priamry - platelet plug - platelet clump together
secondary - clotting factors form thrombin which converts fibrinogen into fibrin, takes several minutes

59
Q

how to identify blood groups

A
  • testing for agglutination - clumping of RVC
  • agglutination occurs bc antigens on surface of RBC bind to antibodies in plasma
60
Q

all the types

A

type a - antigen A, antibody B
type b - antigen b, antibody A
type AB - antigen A and B, no A or B antibody, universal blood receipient and unviersal plasma donors
- type O - neither A or B antigen, both antibody A and B antibodies, universal donors

61
Q

What is Rh factor?

A
  • RH positive have Rh antigen, Rh negative dont have Rh antigen
  • Rh antigen is assigned letter D
  • tested by adding antibodies to D antigen to a drop of pt blood, if agglutiantion Rh positive, no agglutination include Rh=negative blood
62
Q

What happens if Rh neg person is given Rh-positive blood

A
  • makes antibodies that bind to Rh antigens so second time Rh positive blood antibodies will bind to donor cells
63
Q

What is truly the universal donor

A

O negative blood because it has no A, B, or D antigens

64
Q

What is erythroblastosis fetalis?

A

if mom is Rh-negative and baby is Rh- positive mother develops antibodies against the fetus’s red blood cells and so the second Rh-positive fetus will have their blood will be attacked by the antibodies right away

65
Q

how to prevent erythroblastosis fetalis?

A

give Rh-neg woman drugs that suppress production of anti-D such as RhIg or RhoGAM

66
Q

What are transfusion reactions?

A
  • when a pt is transfused blood that hey have an antibody to
  • aggulation, hemolysis, fever or hives to dead
67
Q

risk panel for CV

A
  • ApoB (primary component of LDL)
  • 9p21 (genoimc marker for CAD)
  • N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)
  • high sensitivty CRP
  • homocysteine (elevate = increased risk of heart and bv disease
  • fibrinogen (biomarker associated with CV disease)
68
Q

what is the average volume of blood pumped by heart in 1 min

A

called cardiac output

is avg of 5L/min
