RBC[Rabe] Flashcards
T or F: blood does not have buffering capacity.
FALSE
It is a buffer, slightly alkaline, pH 7.35-7.45
Ppt
T or F: blood can be used to regulate temperature
TRUE
Ppt,lec
What contributes to blood viscosity?
Formed elements
Lec
Classify blood according to type of tissue.
Specialized connective tissue
-Because its binds tissues together, it is not compact
Ppt and Lec
What accounts for largest amount of formed elements in the blood?
RBC/ ERYTHROCYTES
Lec
What is RBC/total blood volume?
Hematocrit
Definition
Composidtion of plasma?
- WATER
- PLASMA PROTEINS
- CLOTTING FACTORS
Lec
What is the average hematocrit of male and female. Is it the same for both?
Not the same!
Male: 45% to 50%
Female: 40% to 45 %
Ppt
Absent is serum but present in plasma!

PPT
T or F: there is relatively few electrolytes in blood plasma
TRUE
Part of 1% only
