Ch. 3 Blood Flashcards
Blood Cell Counts
RBC= 3.5-5.5 x 10^6 per mm2 WBC= 5,000-10,000 Plt= 150,000-350,000
RBC
- biconcave, 120 lifespan, circulate in 20 sec
- produced in long bone marrow
erythropoietin
stimulates RBC production in bone marrow
- produced in kidney, liver
- Needs Vit. B12 and Folic acid***
RBC increase with what?
high altitudes, pulm disease
Normal HCT on bypass
22-30%
WBC Granulocytes and Agranulocytes
Granulocytes:
1) Neutrophils- engulf bacteria, foreign, phagocytes
-produced by bone marrow
2) Eosinophils- allergies/parasites
-2 lobes
3) Basophils- release heparin, histamine= open vessels
-nucleus
Agranulocytes:
1) Lymphocytes- produce antibodies- B and T cells
-B cell=moves to spleen/lymph to create memory** and plasma cells** (creates antibodies)
-T cell= killer, helper cells
2) Monocytes- engulf, become macrophages in tissue
WBC Percentages
Neutrophils= 60% Lymphocytes= 30 Monocytes= 6 Eosinophils= 3 Basophils= 1
Occlusion
30 inches above, 1 cm drop per minute
Thrombocytes (platelets)
- negative charge, no nucleus, bone fragments by megakarocyes
- 3 properties= adhesion, aggregate, angulation
- release TXA2 (constrictor), factors, and contains platelet factor 3**
anemia
low RBC
aplastic anemia
low RBC cuz bone marrow doesn’t produce enough
pernicious anemia
low RBC cuz low Vit. B12 and folic acid (erythropoietin needs these to make RBC)
polycthemia
high HCT
-cytosis, -philia, -penia, -pheresis
- cytosis/philia= high
- penia= low
- pheresis= remove then give back
hemolysis
RBC break down= plasma free Hgb
Reynolds number
> 2,000 = turbulent flow, hemolysis
diapedesis
able to move through vessel walls without damage
leukocytosis
high WBC with infection
