Q

3 types of capillaries

A

continuous

fenestrated

sinusoid

19
Q

sinusoid capillaries are found in the ___

A

spleen, liver, bone marrow

big holes=big things come through

20
Q

thoracic duct empties into the

A

inferior vena cava

21
Q

nutritional blood supply for vessels

A

vasa vasorum

22
Q

what is in plasma

A

water

solutes proteins- albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, nitrogenous waste, organic nutrients

electrolytes

23
Q

RBC and platelets are made from ___

A

myeloid stem cells (innate)

24
Q

life cycle of RBC

A

myeloid stem cell → erythroblast → reticulocyte from bone marrow

leaves bone marrow, enters blood stream and becomes adult RBC

dies after 120 days→ eaten and broken down into

heme, iron ions and globin amino acids and cell components recycled by liver

25
Q

hemoglobin gets broken into __

A

heme → biliverdin → (attaches to albumin) → bilirubin → liver → bile

iron ion → iron ions bound to transferrin → ferritin → liver

26
Q

polycythemia

A

too many RBC

27
Q

microcytic

A

too small

28
Q

hypochromic

A

not enough O2 carried on hemoglobin

29
Q

% of RBC in whole blood

A

hematocrit/packed cell volume

30
Q

mean corpuscular volume

A

PCV/RBC

fL or micrometer3

31
Q
A

normal

anemia (not enough)

polycythemia (too many)

32
Q

•1 g of Hb can carry ___ of O2 when fully saturated

A

1.34 mL

33
Q

mean corpuscular hemoglobin

A

Hb/RBC

pg/cell

34
Q

mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration

A

Hb/PCV

g/dL

35
Q

Three major causes of anemia

A

blood loss

early destruction of blood cells

making RBC incorrectly

36
Q

two main types of anemia

A

regenerative

non-regenerative

37
Q

regenerative anemia

A

something is killing RBC so body is making RBC more and releasing immature RBC to try to compensate for decrease in O2 carrying capacity

•Macrocytic (increased MCV) (too big)

•Increased reticulocyte count (immature RBC)

•Hypochromic (decreased MCHC)

•Examples•Hemolytic anemia•Hemorrhagic anemia

38
Q

Non-Regenerative Anemia

A

not producing RBC correctly

  • Normocytic or microcytic (MCV) (normal size or too small)
  • Normal or low reticulocyte count (low amount of immature RBC cause body is not making them)
  • Normochromic or hypochromic (MCHC)
  • Examples•Dietary anemia•Aplastic anemia•Renal anemia
