chapter 20 Flashcards
two compounds of blood
plasma (liquid matrix) and formed elements (everything inside the plasma which is erythrocyte, leukocyte and platlets)
hypovelemic
low blood volume
hypervelemic
excessive blood/plasma volume
plasma
55% of blood, made of 92% water, 7% protein 1% other stuff
plasma proteins
albumins, globulins, fibrogen
formed elements
everything but plasma
plasma v intersitital fluid
plasma has more dissolved oxygen and less carbon dioxide (diffuses out of tissue)
-interstitial fluid does not have dissolved tissue but plasma does
albumin
contribute to osmotic pressure, smalles protein
fibrogen
largest protein and helps clotting
immunoglobulins
antibodies
hematocrit
packed cell volume
rbc structure
-bioconcave disc
-thin central region
-lack organelles and nucleus
rbc no nucleus
let it travelt hrough circulation and be flexible
rbc lack mitochondria
mitochondria use oxygen to make atp and without it oxygen can be transported instead of being used
what transports oxygen and carbon dioxide?
hemoglobin
hemoglobin
-four polypeptide subunits that each contain a molecule of heme (porphyrin ring/ iron ion ring)
-iron binds to the oxygen and the polypeptide unit binds to co2
cabon monoxide
competes with the heme ring for binding sites which makes it dangerous bc lack of oxy and ppl die
blood type
-determined by antigen on cell surface
-antigen= agglutinogens (glycoproteins or glycolipids)
-three types of agglutinogens (a b and d)
o type blood
both a or b angglutinogen
a type
b agglutinin antibody in plamsa
