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.
O blood type has
no surface antigens
A+B antibodies
When GIVING blood, the donor must take into account,
antigens
When RECEIVING blood, the recipient must take into account,
antibodies
Rh + has
surface antibodies
Rh - has
no surface antibodies
Myeloid stem cells
involved in producing all formed elements except WBC
Lymphoid stem cells
involved in producing WBCs
Multi-CSF
produces granulecytes, monocytes, platelets, RBCs
GM-CSF
produces granulecytes
M-CSF
produces monocytes
Blood clotting:
Vascular phase- limits blood leakage, vessels become sticky
Platelets Phase-stick and release granules to attract other platelets (pos feedback)
Coagulation- Passive becomes active, stable blood clot
Extrinsic strands- outside bloodstream- fibrin
intrinsic strands = inside- using factors in blood
Clot Phase- platelets and RBCs stick to fibrin strands and clot retraction begins
Anticoagulants
maintains feedback control of blood clotting (antithrombin-III)
Heparin
produces antithrombin-III -basophil
Thrombomodulin
form platelets, Protein C
Prostacyclin
inhibit platelet aggregation (released by endothelial cells)
Fibrinolysis
dissolving clot- tissue plasminogen activator, produces plasmin
Pulmonary circuit
blood to lungs
Systemic circuit
blood to body
Atria
receives blood from the body
Ventricles
pumps blood to the body
Right Atria
receives blood from systemic circuit
Right Ventricle
pumps blood through pulmonary circuit
Left Atria
Receives blood from pulmonary circuit
Left Ventricle
Pumps blood through systemic circuit
Parietal Pericardium
helps make sure the heart doesnt overflow
holds heart in place
