Q

What are 3 charecteristics of RBC that contribute to its ability to transport gas?

A
  1. Biconcave shape provides more surface area
  2. it is 97% hemoglobin which binds to respiratory gases
  3. The erythrocyte does not have mitochondria and produces its own ATP through anaerobic mechanisms it does ot use the O2 it transports

Q

What is diapedesis?

A

passage of WBC through intact blood vessel walls into tissue

32
Q

How do Leukocytes move towards affected area?

A

positive chemotaxis. The WBC leaves the vessel and follows a chemical trail left by damaged cells or other leukocytes.

33
Q

What 2 categories are there for leukocytes?

A

Granulocytes and Agranulocytes

34
Q

What cells are granulocytes?

A
  • Neutrophils
  • Eosinophils
  • Basophils
35
Q

What cells are agranulocytes?

A

Lymphocytes and monocytes

36
Q

What is the quantity of leukocytes from highest to lowest?

“Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas”

A

Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils

37
Q

What are Neutrophils?

A

They are the body’s bacteria slayers. They are the most numerous WBC and have 3-6 lobes in nucleus. They are granulocytes

38
Q

What are Eosinophils?

A

They have a role in allergies, asthma, and in modulating immune response. They are granulocytes

39
Q

What are Basophils?

A

They are the rarest WBCs. They contain histamine which acts as a vasodilator which helps attract more WBC to inflamed site.

40
Q

How do you Identify arganulocyte blood cells?

A

They lack visible cytoplasmic granules and have spherical or kidney-shaped nuclei

41
Q

What are Lymphocytes?

A

They are the second most abundant WBC. found mostly in lymphoid tissue and few ciculate in blood. There are T-lmphocytes and B-lymphocytes

42
Q

What are the functions of T and B lymphocytes?

A

T-lymphocytes function in the immune response by acting directly against virus-infected cells and tumor cells. B-lymphocytes give rise to plasma cells which produce antibodies

43
Q

What are monocytes and their function?

A

They are agranular and leave circulation and enter tissue and differetiate into macrophages. They also activate lymphocytes to mount immune response

44
Q

The production of WBC is called ________. What is it stimulated by?

A

leukopoiesis and stimulated by chemical messenger

45
Q

What 2 messengers act to increase production of WBC?

A

Interleukins and colony-stimulating factors (CSFs)

46
Q

What creates platelets? And what are platelets essential for?

A

They are fragments of very large megakaryocytes. They are essential for clotting

47
Q

What hormone regulates platelet formation?

A

Thrombopoietin

48
Q

What factor helps platelets stick to collagen?

A

Von willebrand factor

49
Q

What are the 3 steps to stop bleeding?

A
  1. Vascular spasm
  2. Platelet plug formation. Platelets stick to collagen exposed in damaged tissue
  3. Coagulation. Fibrin forms a mesh that traps RBC and platelets
50
Q

What is intrinsic pathway of coagulation?

A

vessel damage exposes collagen. Platelets stick to collagen. Factors release PF3 which activates prothrombin activator which catalyzes the conversion to thrombin. Thrombin then catalyzes fibrinogen into fibrin. Fibrin then creates mesh over clot

51
Q

What blood type is known as the “universal recipient?”

A

Type AB

52
Q

if a person is type A blood. What type can they receive? And what type of antibody does it have?

A

A and O. Carries the Anti-B

53
Q

If a person is type B blood what can they receive? Ad what antibody does it carry?

A

B and O. Carries the Anti-A

54
Q

If a person has type O blood, what can they receive?

A

only receive O. But it is a universal Donor

55
Q

What are the 3 granular leukocytes?

A

Eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils

56
Q

What are the 3 agranular leukocytes?

A

Monocytes, B lymphocytes, and T lymphocytes

57
Q

What stem cell give rise to eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, and monocytes?

A

Myeloid stem cell

58

B. immunity
C. Maintenance of blood volume
D. All of the above
A

D. All of the above

62
Q

The WBC that releases histamine and other inflammatory chemicals is the……

A

basophil

63
Q

the blood cell that can become an antibody-secreting cell is the…….

A

lymphocyte

64
Q 
Which of the following does NOT promote multiple steps in the clotting pathway?
A. PF3
B. Factor XI
C. Thrombin
D. Ca2+
A

B. Factor XL. In blood coagulation the factors go to X(ten). X factors binds with PF3 and Ca2+ to release prothrombin activator

65
Q

What is plasma protein spectrin?

A

It is what makes the RBC flexible so it can fit through smaller capillaries.

66
Q

Globin is composed of 4 __________ chains. Two ______ and two ________.

A

Globin is composed of 4 polypeptide chains, Two alpha and two Beta chains..

67
Q

What is the heme?

A

Pigment bonded to each globin chain and has Fe(iron).

68
Q

How many O2 molecules can on hemoglobin carry?

A

4 O2 molecules

69
Q

What percentage of CO2 binds to Hemoglobin? what is the hemoglobin called at this point?

A

about 20%, it is called Carbaminohemoglobin

70
Q

How long does it take for Erythrocytes to form?

A

15 days

71
Q

What hormone is released to stimulate more erythrocyte formation? What releases it?

A

Erythropoietin released by the kidney

72
Q

_______ is the stem cell for lymphocytes.

________ is the stem cell for all other leukocytes.

A

Lymphoid stem cells make T and B lymphocytes.

Myeloid stem cells make Nuetrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes

73
Q

What is the developmental pathway to making platelets?

A

Hematopoietic——> Megakaryoblast——–> Megakaryocyte(Stage II/III)———-> Megakaryocyte(stageIV)———>Platelets

74
Q

Platelets are fragments of _________.

A

Megakaryocytes

75
Q

what is a thrombus?
A Embolus?
A Embolism?

A

Thrombus is a clot that persist in an unbroken vessel. When the thrombus breaks free and floats in bloodstream it is an embolus. As the embolus floats in the bloodstream it gets caught in a vessel and obstructs the vessel it is now an embolism. i.e. Stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism(PE).

76
Q

What is known as the Universal Donor?

A

O- or just O(whatever fuck face feels he wants the answer to be this time)
