chapter 20 exam 3 Flashcards
Blood…
- -Transport O2 and CO2
- -Transport nutrients
- -Transport metabolic wastes
- -Regulate pH of interstitial fluid
- -Regulate ions (electrolytes) of interstitial fluid
- -Transport enzymes
- -Transport hormones
- -Reduce / stop body fluid loss from injury; clotting
- -Transport leukocytes and antibodies
- -Transport toxins for neutralization or excretion
- -Aid in temperature regulation
~7% of body mass is _____
blood
blood composition
- from top to bottom
- Plasma (yellow stuff)=liquid matrix
- Buffy coat=
- –Thrombocytes (platelets, technically aren’t cells),
- – Leukocytes (white blood cells)
-Erythrocytes (red stuff)= red blood cells, pH regulation, gas exchange
((red is also formed elements)
Intracellular fluid
in cells (majority)
Extracellular fluid
outside of cells
Extracellular fluid ; Interstitial fluid
between cells, not in blood
Extracellular fluid ; Plasma
fluid portion of blood
Extracellular fluid ; Other fluid
lymph, cerebrospinal, synovial, serous, etc.
Body is composed of ….
- water 66%
- proteins 20%
- lipids 10%
- carbohydrates 3%
- other 1%
Plasma (types of composition )
- higher O2
- lower CO2
- higher dissolved protein
(opposite of Interstitial fluid)
Interstitial fluid (types of composition)
- lower O2
- higher CO2
- lower dissolved protein
(opposite of plasma)
Plasma Proteins; Albumins
transport fatty acids, steroid hormones, and thyroid hormones
Plasma Proteins; Globulins—>Immunoglobins:
antibodies
Plasma proteins; Globulins–>Transport globulins
transport hormones, lipids, & ions
Plasma proteins; Fibrinogens
forms blood clots by converting to fibrin
Plasma proteins; Fibrinogens –>Serum:
blood with clotting proteins removed
Plasma proteins; Fibrinogens –>Anticoagulants
compounds that prevent fibrin formation
Plasma proteins’ other regulatory proteins:
proenzymes, hormones, enzymes
Hematocrit:
% of blood sample volume made of erythrocytes–> (red blood cells, pH regulation gas exchange)
if hematocrit are low
- anemia
- blood loss
- Micronutrient deficiency
- Chronic infection
if hematocrit are high
- dehydration
- Polycythemia
- Lung / heart disease
Erythrocytes
-Biconcave disc (large surface area, flexible)
- Lack most organelles: –Anucleated
- -No mitochondria: use anaerobic ** metabolism
- -Lacks ER & ribosomes: cannot repair themselves
-contrain hemoglobin: respiratory pigment (why they’re red)
- ~120 day lifespan
- ~1% of circulating erythrocytes are replaced daily
Hemoglobin (Hb):
has 4 heme units
-Heme units: where O2 and CO2 will bind to hemoglobin
Bohr effect
pH will impact binding affinity to O2 to Hb
-changes in Hb O2 affinity due to pH changes
Hemoglobin (Hb) in RBCs allows for a higher concentration of ___ and ____ in the blood
CO2 and O2 in the blood
Co2 and O2 are also dissolved in ____ but at much lower concentrations
plasma
acids ph
0-6
neutral ph
7
