ch. 18 exam review questions Flashcards
what is the difference between the circulatory system and the cardiovascular system
cardiovascular system: study of ONLY heart and blood vessels
cardio->heart vascular->vessels
circulatory system: study of heart, blood vessels, BLOOD
what is the difference between
plasma
serum
formed elements
plasma: ground substance of blood fibers together
serum: the plasma without fibers (clotting proteins)
formed elements: pieces of cells and full cells
hematology
study of blood
blood
connective tissue with ground substrate, fibers, cells
blood composition
plasma and formed elements
plasma composition
water
nutrients such as sugar
amino acids
different proteins such as albumin
waste like urea
three types of proteins
albumins
globulins
fibrinogen
albumin
the main type of protein and produced by LIVER
serum composition
everything in plasma except fibrins and other clotting agents
serum vs plasma
fibrinogen is NOT in serum
proteins in plasma
too much proteins increases blood osmolarity
blood gets thicker and heavier
therefore it runs slower
decreasing blood pressure
osmolarity
concentration of solute particles in a solution
osmolarity of blood
the concentration of cells, cell fragments, proteins, and other fibers
colloid osmotic pressure (COP)
contribution of proteins on blood osmotic pressure
if you do not eat enough proteins the COD will be low because blood will be less concentrated
edema
when osmolarity is too low there is too much water in tissues, blood pressure drops
buffy coat
narrow cream colored zone with 1% or less of total volume of blood
hematocrit
the part of the blood that is RBC
37%-52%
also called packed cell volume, PCV
erythrocytes
red blood cells, RBCs
RBC carries
oxygen and some carbon dioxide
viscosity
thickness of blood due mostly to RBC
platelets
secrete procoagulants or clotting factors to promote clotting, secrete serotonin
leukocytes
white blood cells
granulocytes
with granules inside the cells
neutrophils
60%-70% of circulating leukocytes
varied nuclear shapes
less granules
can eat bacteria
secretes antimicrobial chemicals
eosinophil
2%-4% of circulating leukocytes
bilobed nucleus
can eat antigen-antibody complexes
allergens
destroys parasites
basophils
less than 0.5% circulating leukocytes
secretes histamine (vasodilator)
heparin (anticoagulant)
promotes the mobility of other WBC
agrulocytes
with no granules inside the cell
lymphocytes
most abundant agranulocytes (25%-33%)
last the longest
present antigens to activate immune responses
secrete antibodies and provide immune memory
leukopoiesis
production of white blood cells
CFUs then produce the following cell lines
myeloblasts
monoblasts
lymphoblasts
T lymphocytes
myeloblast
form neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
monoblast
form monocytes
lymphoblasts
all forms of lymphocytes
T lymphocyte
complete development in thymus
red bone marrow stores and releases
granulocytes and monocytes
leukocytosis
high WBC count above 10,000 WBCs
causes: infection, allergy, disease
monocytes
largest leukocyte that contains small cytoplasmic granules and typically a kidney or horseshoe-shaped nucleus
buffy coat
hematocrit: packed cell volume
proteins in the plasma
blood viscosity
the role of erythrocytes
hemopoiesis
blood formation
how blood is made
