Lec 23 Flashcards
Hematopoiesis
Blood cell synthesis in the bone marrow
Hemostasis
blood clotting
blood is – percent of body weight
7
what kind of tissue is
connective
how many liters in male and female
5l and 4l
explain blood tissue compostion
1- watery ECM (plasma)
2- RBC (erythrocytes)
3- WBC (leukocytes)
4- Platelets
ecm bone vs blood
bone=rigid
blood=watery
RBC main function
gas transport
WBC main function
immune function
platelets main function
hemostasis
platelets are
cellular elements that used to be a giant cells
not cells
hematocrit
percentage of total blood volume that is occupied by RBC
hematocrit in males
40-54
hematocrit in female
37-47
plasma volume percentage
58%
white cells percentage
<1%
white cell physical function in blood
buffer layer
plateletes and white cells between plasma and rbc
whithin active bone marrow – become rbc and rest become wbc
25%
rbc lifespan
120 days
wbc lifespan
6-12 hours
—– smashes to produce platelets
megakaryocyte
hematopoietic stem cell can become
wbc
rbc
platelets
cytokines
proteins released from 1 cell that affect activity of others
cytokines involved in hematopoiesis
1- erythropoietin (ETO)
2- thrombopoietin (TPO)
