A

Liver or spleen

28
Q

Mature cells are…

A

Anuclear
No nucleus
No mitochondria

29
Q

Red blood cells contain

A

Hemoglobin
Binds to oxygen for transport

30
Q

Oxyhemoglobin

A

Hemoglobin with oxygen
Bright red color

31
Q

Deoxyhemoglobin

A

Hemoglobin without oxygen
Darker color

32
Q

Carbon monoxide

A

Blocks hemoglobins ability to carry oxygen

33
Q

Macrophages

A

In spleen and liver destroy worn out RBC

34

Heme

A

Contains iron which is recycled and billrubin which goes to liver

35
Q

Globin

A

Broken into amino acids and recycled

36
Q

Erythropoietin

A

Hormone from kidney that is released in response to low oxygen levels in blood

37
Q

Producing RBC requires these three things

A

Protein
Vitamins B12 and folic acid to make DNA
iron (to make hemoglobin)

38
Q

Anemia

A

Deficiency of red blood cells or red blood cells with low amount of hemoglobin
Lowers oxygen carrying capacity of blood

39
Q

Hemorrhagic anemia

A

Blood loss

40
Q

Iron deficiency anemia

A

Lack hemoglobin

41
Q

Sickle cell anemia

A

Abnormal hemoglobin

Q

Hemolytic anemia

43
Q

Type O blood

A

Given to any ABO type (universal donar)

44
Q

Type AB

A

Blood can receive any ABO type (universal recipient)

45
Q

Rh-positive

A

Blood has antigen

46
Q

Rh negative

A

Blood lacks antigen
Cant give rh positive blood to a rh negative individual

47
Q

Platelets

A

Smallest formed element
Not cells- no nuclei or DNA
fragments released from megakaryocytes

48
Q

Lifespan of platelets

49
Q

Hemostasis

A

The stoppage of bleeding
Prevents blood loss when blood vessel ruptures

50
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

Contraction of smooth muscles in blood vessel wall

51

Help control inflammation

56
Q

Basophils

A

Release histamine
Promotes inflammation dilates blood vessels
Release heparin inhibits blood clotting

A

High WBC over 10,000
Cause: acute infections vigorous exercise great loss of body fluids dress and anesthesia

61
Q

Leukemia

A

Several types of blood cancer
Physiology: uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal or immature wbcs in the bone marrow
Results in fewer normal wbc RBC and platelets
Caused by mutation of white blood cell causing it to divide uncontrollably
