Exam 4 Flashcards
3 plasma proteins
- albumin
- fibrinogen
- globules (alpha, beta, gamma)
name examples of alpha and beta globules
transferrin, other clotting factors, enzymes, cytokines, compliment factor 9, thrombin
what is oncotic pressure
oncotic force that prevents loss of plasma fluid from capillaries into the tissues
what is responsible for keeping bloods oncotic pressure
plasma proteins
whats mainly inside RBC
hemoglobin
hematocrit level
~ 40%
- slightly higher in men
hemoglobin concentraion
~ 15g/dL
- dL=100mL
- slightly higher in men
MCV (mean corpuscular value)
average volume in RBC
~ 90
what does low MCV mean for the cell
microcytic
what does high MCV mean for the cell
macrocytic
MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin)
average amount of HGB In a RBC
- 30
what does low MCH mean for the cell
microcytic and/or hypochromic
what does high MCH mean for the cell
hyperchromia – rare
MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration)
% of RBC vol taken up by HGB
34%
what does low MCHC mean for the cell
hypochromia
what does high MCHC mean for the cell
possible microcytic cell
white count
4K-10K cell/mm^3
platelet count
150K-400K cell/mm^3
Route to lymphocyte
pleuripotent hematopoietic stem cell–> IL3–> lymphoid stem cell–> lymphocyte
