Globulins 
Fibrinogen 
Enzymes and hormone
19
Q

Describe albumins

A

60% of plasma proteins

Contribute to osmotic pressure

20
Q

Describe globulins

A

35% of plasma proteins

Made up of antibodies and transport globulins

21
Q

Describe antibodies

A

Attach Disease

22
Q

Describe transport globulins

A

They bind small ions, hormones, lipids, and other compounds

23
Q

Function of fibrinogen

A

Fibrin in this makes up framework for clotting

24
Q

3 other solutes in plasma

A

Electrolytes
Organic nutrients
Organic waste

25
What makes up most of plasma?
Water
26
What are platelets
Membrane bound cells that have enzymes that help with clotting
27
5 types of white blood cells
``` Neutrophils Eosinophils Basophils Lymphocytes Monocytes ```
28
Define hemopoiesis
Process of developing formed elements in red bone marrows
29
Define hemocytoblasts
Cells formed from hemapoietic stem cells that form lymphoid stem cells and myeloid stem cells
30
Describe lymphoid stem cells
Produce lymphocytes Migrate to thymus, spleen, and lymphnodes Produced in lymphoid organs and red bone marrow
31
Describe myeloid stem cells
Stem cells that form other formed elements aside from lymphocytes
32
Describe megakaryocytes
Big cell with large nuclei. | Sheds cytoplasm to form platelets
33
Describe EPO
Erythropoietin Released into plasma when low O levels and due to 1 anemia, blood flow to kidneys decrease, o2 content decrease in lungs, damaged lungs
