Exam 2 Flashcards
Where does erythropoiesis occur?
In red bone marrow
Is hypoxemia negative feedback or positive?
Negative
Leukocytes: white blood cells
Defense against disease
Less than 1% total blood volume
Contains nucleus and organelles
Leukocyte: white blood cells
What are the 2 categories?
Granulocyte’S & agranulocytes
Granulocyte’S are found in…
Identified:
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Granule-contaning WBC
Lobed nuclei
Granule stain W/Wright’S stain
Agranulocytes are found in:
Identification
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Lack of visible cytoplasmic granules
Spherical, oval, kidney shaped nuclei
Neutrophils
Multilobed nucleus
Fine granules
Cytoplasm pink
Partial to bacteria + fungi
Eosinophils
Blue - red-purple nucleus
Course, lysome-rich brick-red cytoplasmic granules
Platelets
Not actually cells
Made from fragments of megakaryocytes
Park staining, irregular shaped
Thrombocytopenia
To few platelets
Bleed excessively…
Thrombocytosis
To many platelets
Blood clots could occur t cause embolisms, stroke, and cardiac infarctions
3 steps of homeostasis
Vascular spasm - platelet plug formation - coagulation
Vascular spasm
D amazed endothelial cell release endothelia, which causes contraction of smooth muscle of tunic media = was constriction of damaged vessel to decrease blood flow/loss
Coagulation = blood clot formation
Blood clot = mesh work of fibrin trapped in blood cells & platelets
Fibrinolysis = breakdown of blood dot
Inactive protein plasminogen converted to active plasmin
Plasmin breaks down fibrin of clot
