'Out' Flashcards
What is Fluosol?
Artificial blood
doesn’t have the immune function
What are steps in blood clotting?
- platelet strikes a torn blood vessel
- platelet breaks and releases thromboplastin
- Ca+ and thromboplastin activate prothrombin creating thrombin
- This splices fibrinogen into fibrin
- Wraps around cut and seals it.
What are antigens?
Proteins located on cells
A,B, RH
What are antibodies?
plasma proteins that target and bind to antigens for destruction.
What antigens and antibodies does an AB type have?
A,B Antigens no antibodies
universal recipient because your body does not have any antibodies to attack with.
What antigens and antibodies does an O type have?
No antigens and AB antibodies
Universal donor because your blood can be given to anyone since there is no antigens to attack on the RBC.
What is Erythroblastosis Fetalis?
When the baby is created with Rh+ cells and the mother is Rh- this means the Rh+ antibodies will attack the fetus and kill it.
What is the First Line of Defence?
Non specific and external
skin, mucus, stomach, and tears.
What is the Second Line of Defence?
Non specific and internal
Inflammatory response
increased amount of stuff at wound
Fever
increase in body temperature to kill pathogens
Phagocytes
Dendritic cells
presents antigens to helper t cells
Macrophages
eats microbes
What are protective proteins?
prevents the multiplication of bacteria and viruses
What are interferon cells?
interferes with the infection of healthy cells
What is the Third Line of Defence?
Specific
The helper t cells activate the B cells to create antibodies. It also activates the cytotoxic t cells which specifically kill the pathogen. The suppressor t cells prevent the killer t cells from attacking the body.
What are the functions of the kidney?
Excretion
Homeostasis: maintains the pH of blood
Hormone synthesis: erythropoietin
Metabolism: filtration
What happens in the kidney?
Filtration (glomerulus): all materials enter
plasma proteins and RBC are too big enough
Reabsorption (PCT/ loop of henle) : Most water and nutrients are reabsorbed.
Secretion (DCT): Wastes are actively pushed into tubule from blood.
Concentration (Collecting Duct): removal of water via concentration gradients + NA+ content.
What are the hormones active in the kidney?
ADH or Antidiuretic Hormone: makes the collecting duct more permeable to water
Aldosterone: increases the Na+ movement into the medulla creating a concentration gradient for water to move along.
