Hematopoeitic System Flashcards
Type of connective tissue that consists of cells and cell fragments in a liquid matrix
Blood
Blood makes up approxiamtely wha tpercent of total body weight
8
Function of blood that focuses on oxygen and expulsion of cabron dioxide
Transport
Makntiains homeostasis of all body fluids
Regulation
Meaning when the color of the blood is bright red
Saturated with oxygen
Meaning when the color of the blood is dark red
Unsaturated with oxygen
Funciton of blood pertaining to its ability to clot which lrevent excessive loss of blood
Protection
Warery liquid 91.5 percent warer and 8.5 solutes
Blood plasma
This synthesize most of the plasma proteins
Hepatocytes
This can also be called antibodies or immunoglobulins
Plasma proteins
Transports oxygen from the lungs to the body cells and deliver co2 from the body cells tot he lungs
Red blood cells
Protects the body from invading pathogens and other foreign substance
Whit eblood cells
Fragment that do not have a nucleus this roevents blood loss by ckotting blood
Platelets
Percentage if total blood volume occupied by the RBC
Hemtocrit
Normal hemotcrit count
40
Significant droo of hematocrit
Anemia
Abnormally high hematocrit
Polycythemia
Process bu which for ed elements of blood develop
Hematopoerises
This step of forming elemtns starts with
Pluripotential hematopeotic stem cell
Priamry site of hematopoeisis
Red bone marrow
A process of differntiaiton in which the potential to produce all hematopoeitic cell types is progressively lost until they become restricted to forming one thoe of blood cell
Lineage commitment
Increases the number of rbc precursors
Erythropoietin
Stimulates the formation of platelets from megakaryocytes primarily produced in the liver
Thrombopoeitin
Stimulate the proliferation of progenitor cells involved in defense and immune reponde
Cytokines
Also known as erythrocyte
Red blood cell
Diamter of rbc
7-8
Protein composed of four polypetide chains
Globin
Ringlike non protein pigment
Heme
Can combine reversibly with one oxygen molecule
Iron
Lifespan of rbc
100-120 days
Requirements of erythropoeisis
Normal renal production of EPO
Erythroid marrow
Adequate supply og substrates for hemoglobin syntheisis
Sote of erythropoeiss i. Early weeks of embryonic life
Yolk sac
During the middle trimester
Liver
Last month of gestation and onwards
Bone amrrow
Synthesis or rbs start with the precursor cell called
Proerythroblast
Dervied from hemochtoblast
Proerythroblast
