CELL SIZE
is the glycoprotein hormone produced by the kidneys (renal peritubular interstitial cells).
Erythropoietin (EPO)
EPO main effect is to place more erythrocytes into circulation at a faster rate by:
o Early release of reticulocytes
o Prevent apoptotic cell death
o Reduces maturation time inside bone marrow

Approximately [?] DAYS are required to produce a mature RBC from the BFU-E
18 TO 21 Days
[?] week/s for BFU-E to mature to CFU-E
1 week
Another [?] week/s for CFU-E to mature to pronormoblast
1 week
Another [?] days for the precursors to mature enough to enter the circulation
6-7 days
[?] mature RBCs usually result from a single pronormoblast
8 to 32 mature RBCs
PRONORMOBLAST
BASOPHILIC NORMOBLAST

Crucial to the red cell function is the structure of the [?]
RBC MEMBRANE or red cell membrane
RBC MEMBRANE is made up of
proteins , lipids and carbohydrates
percentage of protein in RBC MEMBRANE?
proteins (52%)
percentage of lipids in RBC MEMBRANE?
lipids (40%)
percentage of carbohydrates in RBC MEMBRANE?
carbohydrates (8%)
The (?) needs to be flexible, deformable and semi-permeable so that the red cell will be able to travel through the largest blood vessels to the smallest capillaries in order to deliver oxygen to the farthest areas of the body.
membrane
The membrane needs to be flexible, deformable and semi-permeable so that the red cell will be able to travel through the (?) to the smallest capillaries in order to deliver oxygen to the farthest areas of the body.
largest blood vessels
The membrane needs to be flexible, deformable and semi-permeable so that the red cell will be able to travel through the largest blood vessels to the (?) in order to deliver oxygen to the farthest areas of the body.
smallest capillaries
The membrane needs to be flexible, deformable and semi-permeable so that the red cell will be able to travel through the largest blood vessels to the smallest capillaries in order to deliver (?) to the farthest areas of the body.
oxygen
The membrane needs to be flexible, deformable and semi-permeable so that the red cell will be able to travel through the largest blood vessels to the smallest capillaries in order to deliver oxygen to the (?) of the body.
farthest areas
is a continually moving sea of fluid lipids that contains a mosaic of different proteins.
fluid mosaic model
Some (?) float freely like iceberg in the lipid seam whereas others are anchored at specific parts.
proteins
two parts of RBC membrane
lipid bilayer and membrane proteins
The lipid bilayer consists of two back-to-back layers made up of three types of lipid molecules:
Give the three types of lipid molecules.
i. Phospholipids
ii. Cholesterol
iii. Glycolipids
Percentage of Phospholipids
75%
Percentage of Cholesterol
20%
Percentage of Glycolipids
5%
are amphipathic lipids.
Phospholipids
means they have both polar and nonpolar parts.
Amphipathic lipids
The polar part of Phospholipids is the
phosphate-containing “head”
The nonpolar part of Phospholipids has
two long fatty acid “tails”
Phospholipids can be asymmetrically divided by?
Outer layer
Inner layer
Outer layer of Phospholipids contains?
Phosphatidylcholine & Sphingomyelin
Inner layer of Phospholipids contains?
Phosphatidylserine & Phosphatidylethanolamine
It is a steroid with an attached hydroxyl group, weakly amphipathic and are interspersed among the other lipids in both layers of the membrane.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a steroid with an attached (?), weakly amphipathic and are interspersed among the other lipids in both layers of the membrane.
hydroxyl group
The polar part of Cholesterol contains the?
hydroxyl group
non-polar part of Cholesterol contains the?
steroid rings and hydrocarbon tail
