What is blood?
a special connective tissue consisting of fluid matrix, plasma and formed elements
What percentage of blood is plasma?
55%
What are the components of plasma?
1) 90% water
2) 6-8% proteins
3) Na, Ca,Mg, HCO3,Cl ,
4) glucose,amino acid ,lipids
What are hte major protein in the plasma?
fibrinogen
globulins
albumins
What is the function of fibrinogen?
for blood clotting
What is the function of globulins?
primarily for defense mechanism
What is the function of albumins ?
helps to maintain the osmotic balance
What is serum?
plasma minus the clotting factors
What are components of the formed elements?
erythrocytes
leucocytes
platelets
What percentage of the blood is the formed elements?
45%
Which is the most abundant type of blood cell?
erythrocytes
What is the number of RBCs present in a healthy adult man ?
5-5.5 million RBCs per mm cube of blood
Where are the RBCs formed?
the red bone marrow
Describe an RBC cel?
they do not have a nucleus
they are bi concave in shape
they have an iron containing compound called haemoglobin
How much haemoglobin is present in 100 mL of blood of an healhy adult?
12-16 gms
What is the average lifespan of an RBC and what happens after that?
120 days, and after that they are destroyed in the spleen
Why are the WBC color less?
they do not have a haemoglobin
How much WBC does an average person contain per mili meter cube ?
6000-8000mm-3 of blood
What are teh tow general categories of WBC?
Agranulocyte and Granulocytes
What are the types of granulcytes? and their respective percentages?
Eosinophylls (2-3)%
Basophills (0.5-1)%
Neutrophills (60-65)%
What are the types of agranulocytes?
Monocytes (6-8)%
lymphocytes (20-25)%
Which type of WBC is present in least and the highest amount?
neutrophills( highest)
Basophils( highest amount)
What are the two phagocytotic WBC?
monocytes and neutrophills
What is the function of basophills?
histamine, serotonin ,heparin
What is the function of eosinopylls?
allergic reaction and resist infection
What are the two types of Lymphocytes?
B and T
What is the name of platelets and what is the amount of it found in the blood?
Thromobocytes 1.5-3.5 lakhs
How are platelets formed?
platelets are the fragments of a special bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes
What are the two grouping ways of blood?
ABO
Rh
What is the basis of the grouping of ABO system?
on the basis of the presence or absence of A,B antigen
anit A or anit B antibodies
Which blood group is called the universal donor and which is called the universal acceptor?
O ( donor)
receiver (AB)
How can the foetus be affected because of erythroblastosis foetalis?
the foestus can suffer form anaemia or jaundice
Basis of the Rh blood type identification?
based on teh presence or the absence of Rheuses antigen
What happens if Rh negative blood is transused in a blood with Rh positive blood?
the immune system will from anti bodies against the Rh antigens
What is the meaning of erythroblastosis foetalis?
when the Rh group of the mother is not same for Rh the foetus
How are the subsequent foetus of the pregnant lady saved from immune response after the delivery of the first child ?
this can be avoided by administering anti -Rh antibodies to the mother immediately after the delivery of the first child
The cascade pathway for the formation of clot?
prothrombin —(thrombokinase)—> thrombin
Fibrinogen–(thrombin)—->fibrin
Which ion plays a crucial role in the formation of clot ?
Ca ++
What is a tissue fluid or interstitial fluid ?
these are the fluids that are released by the capilaries into the tissue
helps in teh exchange of gases
What is the function of the lymphatc vessel?
network of vessel that is responsible for the drainage and the collection of the interstitial fluid back into teh MAJOR VEINS
What is lymph?
the fluid inside a lymphatic vessel is called lymph
What is the functions of lymph?
contains nutrition, waste, hormones
absorb fats
helps in immune responses
What are the two types of circulatory system?
open
closed

4 chambered heart ( 2 atria and 2 ventricle)
How does the hear of an amphibain or a reptile work?
left atrium —– oxygenated blood form gills
right atrium——deoxygenated blood
ventricle ———pumps the mixed oxygented blood
