Q

Lymphocytes (what, types)

A

WBC

B lymphocytes (B cells)
T lymphocytes (T cells)
Natural killer (NK) cells

19
Q

Thrombocytes

A

Nucleated cells found in lower vertebrates that prevent blood loss by clotting blood

20
Q

Hematocrit (what)

A

Percentage of total blood volume occupied by RBC

Ex hematocrit 40 means 40 percent of volume of blood is RBC

21
Q

Regular hematocrit levels

A

Males: 40-54
Females: 38-46

Males higher as testosterone stimulates EPO that stimulates RBC production

22
Q

Hemopoiesis/hematopoiesis

A

Process by which formed elements of blood develop

In red bone marrow

23
Q

Red bone marrow

A

Highly vascularized CT in microscopic spaces between trabeculae of spongy bone

Mostly in axial skeleton, pectoral/pelvic girdles, proximal epiphyses of humerus/femur

24
Q

Pluripotent stem cells/hemocytoblasts

A

.05-.1 percent of red bone marrow cells

Derived from Mesenchyme

Capacity to develop into many different cells

25
Pluripotent cells develop into
Myeloid stem cells Lymphoid stem cells
26
Myeloid stem cells
Being development in red bone marrow Give rise to RBC platelets monocytes neutrophils eosinophils basophils mast cells
27
Lymphoid stem cells
Begin development in red bone marrow end in lymphatic tissue Give rise to lymphocytes and NK cells
28
Progenitor cells
Myeloid stem cells differentiate into these Can’t reproduce themselves but committed to giving rise to more specific elements of blood Colony forming cells (CFUs)
29
Types of CFUs
CFU-E: erythrocytes CFU-Meg: megakaryocytes (platelets) CFU-GM: granulocytes (neutrophils) and monocytes
30
Precursor cells AKA/what
Blasts Have recognizable microscopic appearances Ex, megakaryoblast->megakaryocyte->platelets Myeoblast->neutrophil
31
Hemopoietic growth factors
Hormones that regulate differentiation and proliferation of particular progenitor cells Ex EPO, TPO, cytokines(glycoproteins)
32
Erythropoietin
Hemopoietic growth factor Increases number of RBC precursors Produced by particular cells of kidney
33
Thrombopoietin
Hemopoietic growth factor Stimulates formation of platelets from megakaryocytes Produced by liver
34
Cytokines
Hemopoietic growth factor Small glycoprotein Produced by red bone marrow cells, leukocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells Regulate development of different blood cell types, stimulate proliferation of progenitor cells in red bone marrow, regulate activities of cells in nonspecific defences (phagocytes/immune responses)
35
Two types of cytokines/function
Colony stimulating factors (CSFs) Interleukins Stimulate WBC formation
36
Hemoglobin
In RBC Oxygen carrying protein and gives pigment
37
How many new RBC per second
2 million
38
RBC anatomy
Biconcave 7-8um Strong/flexible PM No nucleus/organelles Cytosol has hemoglobin
39
Why is RBC so good at transporting O
No nucleus=more space for O No mitochondria/generate ATP anaerobically=dont use any O they transport Biconcave=more SA for diffusion of gas molecules
40
Hemoglobin components
Globin: protein of four polypeptide chains Heme: ringlike pigment bound to each of the 4 chains Fe2+: center of heme ring that combines reversely with one O
41
How many O can one hemoglobin hold
4
42
How much/where does RBC transport CO2
23 percent Attached to AA of globin
43
How does hemoglobin cause vasodilation
NO produced by endothelial cells lining BV bind to hemoglobin, when released=vasodilation
44
Importance of CA, carbonic acid, CO2, bicarbonate thing
Co2+H2O<—>H2CO3<—>H++HCO3- Allows 70 percent of CO2 to be transported in blood plasma from tissue cells to lungs in form of HCO3- Serves as important buffer in ECF
