Exam 1 Flashcards
Functions + characterstics of blood?
regulate PH
restrict fluid loss at injury sites
stabilize body temp
high viscosity
Albumins
brings h20 into bloodstream and keeps BP up.
Globulins
antibodies
transports lipid-soluble molecules in blood
Fibringen
provides framework for blood clot
creates strands
How many heme’s does hemoglobin have?
4
What is so important about heme?
it has Fe2+ for oxygen and CO2 to bind to.
Why can it be bad for CO2 to bind to hemoglobin?
while oxygen can bind reversibly, co2 binds irreversibly and can take up space.
In peripheral capillaries, where 02 is low, hemoglobin
releases o2 and binds co2
In peripheral capillaries, where 02 is high, hemoglobin
releases co2 and binds o2
Erythropoietin (EPO) is secreted where when blood is low?
kidneys
Why is it dangerous for people to engage in blood doping?
Added blood can cause a higher viscosity and lead to blockage.
What part of the blood is not recycled?
heme
What structures are involved in recycling heme?
Bone Marrow > liver > large intestine > kidney > eliminated through urine.
Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas
Neutrophils > Leukocytes > monocytes > eosinophils > basophils
Neutrophils
most abundant
involved in nonspecific killing
Leukocytes
involved in specific killing
Monocytes
macrophages, engulfs pathogens
Eosinophils
involved in responding to allergies/parasites
Basophils
involved in promoting inflammation.

antigens
When RECEIVING blood, the recipient must take into account,
antibodies
Rh + has
surface antibodies
Rh - has
no surface antibodies
