45% of blood is_____
55% of blood is ______
Formed elements.
Blood plasma
Blood is alkaline or acidic
Slightly alkaline pH
(7.35-7.45)
Blood plasma proteins
Albumin,
Globulins,
Fibrinogen (clotting proteins)
osmotic pressure, viscosity, carrier for some hydrophobic molecules, synthesized in liver. Most abundant
Albumin
carrier for some hydrophobic molecules, contribute to immunity
Globulins
important in hemostasis (stoppping flow of blood). Least abundant.
Fibrinogen (clotting protein)
The formation of formed
elements in red bone marrow
Hemopoiesis (hematopoiesis)
Where are blood cells and platelets made?
Bone marrow
Which element is highly specialized 02 transport
Rbc
Rbc lifespan
120 days, recycled in
spleen and liver
RBC’s are filled with
Hemoglobin
is a protein molecule adapted to carry
O2 (and CO2 as well),
● binds oxygen best at high pH
Hemoglobin (Hgb)
High concentrations of CO2 lead to low pH Tissues->high CO2->low pH->oxygen_____
Lungs->low CO2->
high pH->oxygen_____
unbinds. binds
The Production of RBCs.
Erythropoiesis
Granulocytes : contain granules when stained
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Agranulocytes
monocytes and lymphocytes
most numerous WBC in normal blood (60-70% of circulating white cells) phagocytize bacteria
Neutrophils
respond to multicellular parasites, allergens
Eosinophil
