Physiology Flashcards
Refers to the clumping of antigen-antibody complexes indicating their interaction. This when incompatible blood types are mixed each other.
Agglutination
Process by which the body prevents the loss of blood
Blood clotting / Coagulation
Contains iron and four heme groups to which four oxygen atoms can bind. Excess monoxide in the blood can lead to poisoning because CO has greater affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen thus, oxygen is outcompeted and its results to oxygen deficiency.
Hemoglobin
Color of Hemoglobin oxygenated state?
Bright red
Color of Hemoglobin deoxygenated state?
Dull red
Contains several atoms and can carry one oxygen molecule
Haemerythrin
Color of Haemerythrin oxygenated state?
Purple
Color of Haemerythrin deoxygenated state?
Colorless
Contains two copper ions that combines with one oxygen atom
Haemocyanin
Color of Haemocyanin oxygenated state?
Light blue
Color of Haemocyanin deoxygenated state?
Colorless
Contains iron and can bind up to four oxygen molecules. (Color) in both oxygenated and deoxygenated
Chlorocruoin
Color : Green
Process of bone formation by osteoblast
Ossification
Takes place during ossification of bones and can also occur in other tissues
Calcification
Process of bone development from fibrous membrane.
Intramembranous ossification
