Q

What is the significance of the production of 2,3-DPG in RBCs?

A

When in a low PO2 environment (low O2 lvl) the low [oxyhemoglobin] allows RBCS to produce 2,3-DPG which DEC the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. This in turn INC the unloading of oxygen into tissues which compensates for the lack of Oxygen being breathed from the external environment

30
Q

What prevents RBCs from producing 2,3-DPG all of the time

A

oxhemoglobin inhibits 2,3-DPG thus in high O2 environments the high [oxyhemoglobin] prevents the 2,3-DPG production

31
Q

Put the following in order
a) INC 2,3-DPG
b) low PO2
c) DEC affinity of hemoglobin for O2
d) less inhibition of 2,3-DPG

the crystalization of Hb when it gives up oxygen

45

A

an individual that is heterozygous for the sickle mutation. These indiv are less vulnerable to the malarial parasites. Due to the mutation only being heterozygous the sickle cells are attacked by the immune sys thus the malarial parasites that invade the sickle RBCs end up being destroyed before they can cause hemolysis

49
Q

Describe how blood typing works

A

you mix the blood w/ one sample that contains anti-A-type antibodies and another w/ anti-B-type antibodies. If agglutination (clumping) occurs in the A it’s type A if it happens in the B its type B. If it occurs in both they are type AB and they’re type O if it occurs in neither

54
Q

what is happening in this image

A

an infusion of the wrong blood type thus the antibodies for that infused blood type are attacking it causing agglutination which will lead to hemolysis of that blood type

55
Q

What is the significance of the Rh factor?

A

it’s another group of antigens (aside from the ABO). It is significant in mothers that are Rh negative while their baby is Rh positive as the Rh antibodies from the mother are able to cross the placenta and cause hemolysis of those fetal Rh-positive RBCs

56
Q

a) Anti-A-type antibodies
b) anti-B-type antibodies
c) anti-O-type antibodies

  2. formation of the platelet plug
  3. production of web fibrin proteins around the platelets
58
Q

Q

Describe the 7 steps to platelet activation using the following terms; endothelium, BV, platelets, collagen fibers, von Willebrand’s factor (VWF), degranulation, ADP, TXA2, layers, platelet plug

A
  1. the endothelium wall of the BV repels the platelets keeping them from activating
  2. damaged endothelium wall exposes the collagen fibers via the VWF
  3. platelets activate once they bind to the collagen fibers
  4. degranulation of platelets releasing ADP and TXA2
  5. new platelets are attracted and stick producing a second layer of platelets
  6. the second layer of platelets releases more ADP and TXA2 and attracts more platelets

62
Q

Activated platelets also activate _______ factors

A

clotting

63
Q

What is the significance of activated clotting factors?

A

these factors convert fibrinogen (soluble plasma protein) into fibrin (insoluble fibrous proteins). platelets have receptors for both fibrinogen and fibrin which is used to stabilize the platelet plug

64
Q

thrombi is another way to say what?

blood clots

65
Q

What is coagulation?

A

the biochem process that produces blood clots/thrombi

66
Q

What are the 2 pathways that are used to convert fibrinogen to fibrin?

A
  1. intrinsic pathways = in which all the components are present w/in the blood
  2. extrinsic pathway = in which the process is initiated by chem that are not part of the blood
67
Q

A
  1. damage to the endothelium causing the collagen fibers w/in the BV to be exposed
  2. the protease factor XII is activated
  3. factor XII activates Factor XI which activates Factor IX which activates Factor X
  4. converts prothrombin (glycoprotein) into its active form thrombin/blood clots
  5. these thrombi aid the platelets to form the platelet plug
68
Q
