Final: 2nd Semester Parameters Flashcards
What are the hematocrit ranges for male and female?
male: 40-52%
female: 37-48%
What are the normal RBC counts for males and females?
And platelets (same # for both sexes) ?
per microliter
male: 4.5 - 5.5 x 106
female: 3.9 - 5.3 x 106
(so RBCs are millions per microliter numbers)
platelets: 2.5 - 3 x 105
What are the ranges for per microliter count of all WBCs?
And each type individually?
And percentages? (less important, probably)
- All WBCs: 3-12x103
- Neutrophil: 700-7,000 (65%)
- Eosinophil: 0-400 (2-4%)
- Basophil: 0-100 (1%)
- Lymphocyte: 1,000-2,400 (25-30%)
- Monocyte: 100-800 (4-8%)
What is the average lifespan of an RBC?
about 120 days
LESS IMPORTANT
Approximately how many different epitopes are recognized by a single individual’s adaptive immune system?
107 - 109
What is the frequency range of human hearing?
And the optimum frequency?
20 - 20,000 Hz
2,000 Hz optimum
LESS IMPORTANT
How many rows of inner and outer hair cells are there?
And total numbers of each?
1 row inner, 3 rows outer
approx. 3,500 inner and 16,000 outer total
What are the K and Na concentrations of perilymph and endolymph?
Peri - Na = 140 mM, K = 2 mM (similar to CSF)
Endo - Na = 1 mM, K = 150 mM (similar to cytoplasm)
What is the potential difference between endolymph and hair cell cytoplasm (in the cochlea)?
And the “intrastriatal fluid” btwn layers of the stria vascularis?
(What is the reference potential used here? And how is the endolymph value different in the vestibular apparatus?)
120 mV difference
- due to -40 mV hair cell and +80 mV endolymph
- intrastriatal fluid = +90 mV
(These values use perilymph as the 0 mV reference. The potential of endolymph decreases in the vestibule because of its distance from the creation of the endolymph by the stria vascularis.)
What is the total and free extracellular Ca++ concentration?
And intracellular?
extracellular - 1-1.3 mM free, 2-2.6 mM total
intracellular - 100 nM (notice nano, not micro)
How much calcium is ingested daily?
Absorbed from the amt ingested?
Incorporated into bone + resorbed from bone?
Filtered by the kidney, reabsorbed + excreted?
1,000 mg ingested / 500 mg absorbed by GI
280 mg both formed into bone + resorbed from it
10,000 mg filtered, but most reabsorbed, abt 2% of filtered (175 mg) is excreted.
What are the %s of total testosterone that are found in each of its 3 forms?
free - 1-3%
Albumin/CBG-bound - 20%
SHBG-bound - 70-80%
About how long is each step of spermatogenesis?
What temperature does it require?
10-17 days
30-32 C
What is the % contribution of each of the 3 accessory sex glands to the total volume of semen?
- Seminal Vesicle - 60-70% (fructose, fibrinogen, prostaglandins)
- Prostate - 25-30% (PSA, fibrinolysin, Zn, acid phosphatase)
- Cowper’s Glands - 3-5% (mucus, pre-ejaculate)
What are the characteristics of normal semen produced by one ejaculation?
- > 2 ml
- pH 7.2-8.0
- > 40 million sperm/ml
- > 50% motility (after 60 mins)
- > 30% normal morphology
