Q

What is the composition of blood?

A

Blood is a liquid connective tissue comprised of formed elements suspended in liquid (plasma), with fibers (fibrin) that become insoluble (visible) during clotting.

Formed elements include cells and cell fragments.

Q

What are the respiratory gases carried in blood?

A

O2 and CO2 -O2 is picked in the lungs and transported to all cells of the body for use in cellular respiration
CO2 is a waste gas picked up at body cells and transported to the lungs for exhalation

Q

A

WBC’s, RBC’s Platelets

25
Which blood component arise from megakaryocytes
platelets
26
Which blood component are released into the bloodstream as reticulocytes
platelets
27
True or False: WBCs are complete cells.
True
28
Which statement about erythrocytes (RBCs) is NOT true. The hematocrit is the percent of blood volume that is comprised of red blood cells RBC’s arise from the lymphoid stem cell line Erythropoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow The bio concave shape of RBC’s contribute to the gas exchange capacity RBC’s do not have a nucleus and are amitotic(they don’t divide) All are true statement
RBCs arise from the lymphoid stem cell line
29
True or False: RBCs have a nucleus.
False
30
True or False: Hematopoiesis occurs in the epiphyses of long bones.
True
31
True or False: Hemoglobin is made up of the protein globin and heme is the red pigment
True
32
True or False: Each hemoglobin molecule can transport four molecules of oxygen
True
33
What is the normal PH of blood?
7.4
34
What stimulates erythropoiesis?
Hypoxia of EPO-producing cells in the kidney
35
Blood reticulocyte counts provide information regarding _______.
rate of erythrocyte formation
36
Which characteristic does NOT contribute to erythrocyte oxygen transport functions? Biconcave shape Hemoglobin containing sack Produces energy anaerobically Mitotically active
mitotically active --> RBC's are amitotic that is they do not divide
37
Briefly describe the process of hematopoiesis.
All cells are derived from a common hematopoietic cell. The hematopoietic cell has two lineages --> myeloid and lymphoid cell line Myeloid cell line give the RBC's, platelets (via megakaryocytes, monocytes (macrophages), neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils Lymphoid cell line gives rise to lymphocytes (T cells and B cells)
38
What are the two major types of leukocytes (WBCs)?
* Granulocytes * Agranulocytes
39
Granulocytes
Include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils Mostly spherical in shape have lobed nuclei connected by strands Have membrane bound cytoplasmic granules that stain noticeably All are phagocytic to some degree
40
Agraulocytes
monocytes and lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) no visible granules Nuclei are spherical or kidney shaped play major role in the immune system
41
Put the white blood cell types in order from most abundant to least abundant.
* Neutrophils * Lymphocytes * Monocytes * Eosinophils * Basophils
42
Most common WBC found in whole blood
Neutrophil
43
Mounts an immune response be direct cell attack or via antibodies
Lymphcyte
44
Kills parasitic worms
Eosinophil
45
Becomes a macrophage
Monocyte
46
1st to arrive during an immune response (inflammation)
Neutrophil
47
Rarest WBC type
Basophil
48
release chemicals such as histamine which stimulates the immune response
Basophils
49
What is the process by which WBCs leave the bloodstream called?
Diapedesis
50
Which statement about leucopoiesis is NOT true? is stimulated by chemical messengers released by both the bone marrow and mature WBC WBC’s arise from the same hematopoietic stem cells as RBC ‘s The myeloid cell line gives rise to granulocytes The lymphoid cell line gives rise to lymphocytes and monocytes All statements are true
The lymphoid cell line gives rise to lymphocytes and monocytes. (Monocytes arise from the myeloid cell line)
51
Which statement about platelets is NOT true? Platelets are fragments of larger cells called megakaryocytes Megakaryocytes are derived from the Myeloid stem cell line Granules found within platelets contained chemicals, essential to the clotting process Platelet binding to damage endothelium is the first step in homeostasis Platelets are normally kept mobile in the bloodstream by factors released from the endothelium
Platelet binding to damaged endothelium is the first step in hemostasis. (They bind to collagen fibers)
52
What is the correct sequence for the events of hemostasis?
* Formation of prothrombin activator * Prothrombin → thrombin * Fibrinogen → fibrin * Clot retraction * Fibrinolysis
53
True or False: Coagulation involves the activation of a cascade of 13 clotting factors.
True
54
True or False: Many of the clotting factors are manufactured in the liver.
True
55
True or False: Formation of the prothrombin activator can occur in intrinsic or extrinsic pathway, though the pathways converge at the activation of Factor X
True
56
True or False: Platelets adhere to collagen fibers underlying the damaged blood vessel's endothelium
True
57
True or False? When bound and activated, platelets release aggregating agents such as serotonin and thromboxane
True
58
True or False: Repair of the damages blood vessel is stimulates by the activated platelets themselves
True
