Ch. 20 Flashcards
blood order
right ventricle to the
lungs
then get oxygen
go back to left side heart to the
cells
food digestion
small intestine to
everywhere by blood mobile
WBCS fight
infectious germs
blood plasma is %
55%
water accounts for plasma volume %
92
proteins account for % of plasma volume
7%
proteins in plasma
albumins
globulins
fibringoen
biggest plasma protein
albumins
albumins functions
transport lipids
osmotic pressure
globulins function
transport lipids, hormones, ions, immune function
fibrinogen function
blood clotting
salt,nutrienbts, wastes, and hormones percentage in plasma

light colored red discs
erhyrocytes
dark stained cells are
elukocytes
small purple bloobls
platelts
most common cell
RBC/erhtyrocytes
45%
how many rbcs per mm3
4-5 mill
erythrocytes lack
nuclei and all organelles
lifespan of erhyrocyte
120 days
erythryctye shape
small
biconcave
large sa to v raation
97% of erhyrocyte is
hemoglobin
erhyrocytes cannot process
oxygen
hemoglobin shaped with
2 alpah chains
2 beta chains
every hemoglobin chain has a
heme group
hemoglobin can bind to
o2 and co2
anemia occurs when
blood has abnormally low carrying capacity for o2
anemia causes
loss of RBC
low hemoglobin
abnormal hemoglobin sick cell anemia
sickle cell anemia is
genetic
causes blocages in the blood
blood types are determines by
surface antigens in erythrocyte plasma membranes
over 50 type of
surface antigens
individuals who have A antigens on the surface of the blood cells would be
type a blood but also naturally produce antibodies that oppose the b antigen
type ab blood has neither
anti a or anti b antibodies
type of blod has rbcs lacking
a and b surface antigens
type o blood contains
anti a and anti b antibodies
rH factor present in
85% of pop in US
if poses rH you are
positive
rh- mother with rh+ baby
erhythroblastosis fetalis
- triggle blood cells to be destroyed
baby number 2 rh can cross placenta
rh need to worry about mom

leukocytes are % of blood
less than 1
most leukocytes found within
peripheral tissue
leukocytes complete
cells with nuclei and organelles
leukocytes are crucuial for
defense agains toxins
leukocyte lifespan
few days
leukocytes classified as
granulocytes and agranulocytes
granulocytes three types
neutrophils
eosinophils
basophils
neutrophils are the most
abudent
nuclei active phagocytes that
ingest bacteria
neutrophils numbers spike down during
infection
eosinphils are % of wbcs
2-4
eosinphils ingest
foreign compouds that have reacted with antibodies
eosinphils numbers spike down during
allergic reactions and parasitic infections
basophils are % of WBC
.5-1
basophils release
histamine to dilate blood vessels
basophils release heparin to prevent
clotting and inflammation
agranulocyte types
monocytes and lymphyctes
% of monocytes in leukocytes
2-8
monocytes become
marcophages after leaving the blood
monocytes defend against
viruses
bacteria
parasites
chronic infection
lymphocyte % of wbcs
20-30%
lymphcytes have
t cells foreign cells
and b cells secrete antibodies
and nateral killer cells destroy abnormal cells
Never let monkeys eat bananas
neutrophils
leukocytes
monocytes
eosphils
basophils
platelets are less than 1% of
blood volume
megakaryoctyes are
cytoplasmic fragments of huge cells called megakaryocytes
platelets are essential for
blood clotting process
