Human bio chapter 6

Question 1

three functions of blood in human body

Answer 1

transportation, defense, and regulation

Question 2

formed elements of the blood

Answer 2

produced in red bone marrow,
red blood cells
white blood cells
platelets

Question 3

describe composition of plasma

Answer 3

91% water and 9% salts,
solutes help maintain osmotic pressure
(salts act as a buffer)

Question 4

3 types of plasma proteins

Answer 4

Albumins, Globulins, and Fibrinogen

Question 5

why is the plasma, albumins important

Answer 5

help from blood leaking from vessel

Question 6

why is the plasma, globulins important

Answer 6

help fight infections, and transports molecules in blood

Question 7

why is the plasma, fibrinogen important

Answer 7

its inactive, but when activated it forms blood clots

Question 8

how do RBCs transport oxygen and carbon dioxide

Answer 8

RBCs are specialized for oxygen transport, they contain protein (hemoglobin) and will bind to oxygen and iron groups

Question 9

structure of RBC how its well suited for gas transport

Answer 9

no nucleus, shape allows them to squeeze through small capillaries and maximize surface area

Question 10

function of white blood cells

Answer 10

(leukocytes) fight infections

Question 11

granular leukocyte

Answer 11

Neutrophil, Esoihophil, Basophil

Question 12

agranular leukocyte

Answer 12

Lymphocyte, monocyte

Question 13

disorders with WBS

Answer 13

leukemia- a group of cancers that affect blood and bone marrow

Question 14

structure and function: Neutrophils

Answer 14

Comes from Myeloblasts
contains granules
phagocytizes pathogens

Question 15

structure and function: Lymphocytes:

Answer 15

comes from lymphoblasts
active in specific immunity

Question 16

structure and function: Monocytes

Answer 16

comes from monoblasts
becomes a large phagocyte

Question 17

structure and function: Eosinophils

Answer 17

comes from myeloblasts
contains granules
active in allergies and worm infections

Question 18

structure and function: Basophils

Answer 18

comes from myeloblasts
contains granules
releases histamine

Question 19

relationship of leukemia and white blood cells

Answer 19

leukemia begins in bone marrow, where while blood cells are produced. and impacts body’s immune response and overall health

Question 20

blood clotting relating to homeostasis

Answer 20

preventing absurd blood loss, response to injury, systemic regulation,

Question 21

steps of formation of a blood clot

Answer 21

1) blood vessel is punctured
2) platelets congregate and form plug
3) platelets and damaged tissue cells release prothrombin activator, which initiates a cascade of enzyme reactions
4) Fibrin threads form and trap RBCs

Question 22

disorders associated with blood clotting

Answer 22

Thrombocytopenia- too few platelets

Thromboembolism- when thrombus (stationary clot), forms, travels (embolism) and plugs other vessel

Hemophilia A and B- genetic deficiencies of a clotting factor

Question 23

components of blood involved in forming a blood clot

Answer 23

platelets, clotting factors, Fibrinogen

Question 24

stages of blood clotting

Answer 24

stages of blood clotting work in concert to prevent excessive bleeding and facilitate healing.

Question 25

what determines blood types in humans

Answer 25

proteins w/ carbohydrates attached pm the surface of RBCs

Question 26

summarize role of Rh factor in hemolytic disease of a newborn

Answer 26

blood cells can leak from fetus into mother causing mother to get sick

Question 27

list 4 types of blood

Answer 27

A, B, AB, O

Question 28

who can a donor with type blood A donate to?

Answer 28

type A and AB

Question 29

how does the cardiovascular system interact with other body systems to maintain homeostasis

Answer 29

works with all other organ systems to maintain bodys needs

Question 30

how does the cardiovascular system maintain homeostasis

Answer 30

interstitial fluid originates from blood plasma and is absorbed by lymphatic capillaries, becoming lymph
