Chapters 19&20 Flashcards
What transports oxygen to the rest of the body
blood
Colloid
liquid containing suspended substances that don’t settle out of solution
Albumins
osmotic pressure, most abundant protein in plasma
Globulins
transports lipids, carbohydrates. hormones, ions, antibodies, and complement
Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes)
contain hemoglobin and transport oxygen
White blood cells (leukocytes)
only and largest formed element with a nucleus
Agranulocytes
monocytes
Platelets (thrombocytes)
cell fragments hat form plugs and assist in clotting
Myeoblasts
develop into basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils
An immature red blood cell
reticulocyte
Red blood cell components are
1/3 hemoglobin
2/3 Lipids, and ATP
70% of what is transported as bicarbonate
carbon dioxide
Bicarbonate (HCO3) reacts with what
water
What metal is required to make hemoglobin
Iron
Increased altitude causes red blood cells to what
increase production
What does hemoglobin break down into
biliruben
Diapedesis
becomes thin, elongate and move either between or through endothelial cells of capillaries
Chemotaxis
attraction to and movement toward foreign materials or damaged cells
Puss
an accumulation of dead white blood cells and bacteria
What cells have a type of sense of smell to locate foreign matter in the body and attack
white blood cells
Neutrophils
account for 60-70 percent of white blood cells
Eosiniphils
help destroy tapeworm, flukes, pinworms, and hookworms
Monocytes
macrophages
What clots the blood
platelets
The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin is what stage of clotting
3rd
Proteins found in plasma hat remain inactive until bleeding begins are what
coagulation factors
Does fibrogen dissolve in plasma
yes
A blood clot is
a network of threadlike fibrins
Extrensic clotting pathways begins
outside the blood
Intrinsic clotting pathways begin
inside the blood
Plasmin breaks the fibrin molecules and therefore the what into smaller pieces
clot
The universal recipient blood type
