CH18 Blood Flashcards

1
Q

Major functions of blood

A
  • transport- O2, CO2, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and stem cells
  • protection- Inflammation, limit spread of infection, destroy microorganisms and cancer cells, neutralize toxins, and initiate clotting
  • regulation- fluid balance stabilizes pH of ECF, and temperature control

Q

Physical characteristics of blood- pH, viscosity, volume, color changes

A
  • pH about 7.40
  • viscosity of who blood is 4.5-5.5x more than water; changes based on BP, hydration, etc
  • adults have about 4-6L
  • color changes based on O2

Q

*Understand the developmental formation of RBSs (erythropoiesis), including: pluripotent stem cells, myeloid stem cells, reticulocyte, and mature erythrocyte

A

pluripotent stem cell –> erythrocyte colony forming unit (first committed cell; has receptors for erythropoietin from kidneys)–> erythroblast (multiply and synthesize hemoglobin) –> reticulocyte (formed after nucleus is discarded)–> mature erythrocyte

Q

Five different types of anemia and the medical causes of each

A

caused by inadequate erythropoiesis or hemoglobin synthesis:

  • iron deficiency anemia
  • pernicious anemia: inadequate vitamin B12
  • hypoplastic anemia: slowing of erythropoiesis
  • aplastic anemia: complete cessation of erythropoiesis
  • Hemorrhagic anemias from bleeding
  • Hemolytic anemias from RBC destruction
