Metabolism Of RBC Flashcards
Rbc contain how many percent pf solid
35%
The chief protein of the red cell
Hb
Other protein are present in combination with
Lipids and oligosaccharide chains
These are higher in red cell than plasma
Potassium, magnesium and zinc concentration
Ihow many percent is protein
50%
How many percent is fat
40%
How many percent is carbohydrate
10%
Which determine the membrane fluidity
Lipid bilayer
Which is responsible for flexibility that are either peripheral or integral penetrating the lipid bilayer
Proteins
This occurs only on the external surface
Carbohydrate
Rbc membrane is mainly what
Phospholipids
Is a semi permeable lipid bi layer supported by a protein meshlike cytoskeleton structure
Rbc mem
Extend to the surface and span the entire membrane to the inner cytoplasmic side of rbc
Integral proteins
Limited to the cytoplasmic surface pf the membrane forming the red cell cytoskeleton
Peripheral skeleton
What are cytoskeletal protein
Actin band 5 Ankyrin band 2.1 Band 4.1 and 4.2 Adducin Spectrin
Two important characteristics pf rbc
Deformability and permeability
Energy is generated exclusively by what
Glycolysis
This generates about 90% of the atp needed by the rbc
Anaerobic glycolytic pathway
These are not true cell
Rbc
The rbc is freely permable to
water and anions
This can transverse the membrane in less than a second
Chloride and bicarbonate
Rbc membrane is relatively impermeable to catinos such as
Sodium and potassium
Erythrocyte intra to extracellular ratios for sodium and potassium are
1:12 and 25:1
When rbc are depleted. These electrolytes are allowed to accumulate intracellulary. And what electrolytes are lost
Calcium and sodium/potassium and water
They become dehydrated and subsequently sequestered by
Spleen

Spleen
Necessary to maintain the heme iron to hemoglobin in the ferrous functional state
Methemoglobin reductase pathway
Is a non fucntional form of hemoglobin and loss of oxygen transport capabilities
Methemoglobin
This permit the accumulation of 2,3 DPG. The large anount of 2,3 DPG found within rbc has a significant effect on the affinity of the hb for oxygen
Leubering rapaport shunt
How many hours needed to restore the depleted 2,3 DPG
6-24
Maximum storage time for rbc
21-24 hours
The erythrocyte contains
Carbonic anhydrase
The red cell contain enzyme that responsible for detoxication of cyanides
Rhodanese wnzyme
This is the only source for NADPH in rbc
Pentose phosphate pathway
Is important in keeping gluthathione in the reduced glutathione
NADPH
