29
Q

Normal adult has approximately __ liters of blood

A

5 liters

30
Q

The blood cells begin their formation in the
bone marrow and lymph nodes as
undifferentiated hematopoietic stem cells.
They continue to mature through different
stages, slowly decreasing in size.

A

HEMATOPOIESIS

31
Q
  • Biconcave,7 to 8 micrometers
  • No nucleus
  • Hemoglobin
A

ERYTHROCYTES

32
Q

Releases oxygen to tissues and
brings carbon dioxide back to the
lungs

A

Hemoglobin

33
Q
  • Large white cells that have
    purple centers (nuclei) when
    viewed
  • Granules vary from pink, blue,
    or orange
  • Differential count
A

LEUKOCYTES

34
Q

Smallest cells of the formed
elements
* Megakaryocytes
* It aids in the clotting
process

A

THROMBOCYTES

35
Q

3 VEINS AND ARTERIES OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

A

Median Cubital Vein
Cephalic Vein
Basilic Vein

36
Q

It forms a bridged pathway
between the basilic and
cephalic veins
* It is the easiest vein to palpate
and has less tendency to roll
than other veins

A

THE MEDIAN CUBITAL VEIN

37
Q

It is located along the
thumb side of the arm
* It is not prone to
rolling, but it is slightly
more difficult to feel

A

THE CEPHALIC CUBITAL VEIN

38
Q

It is more difficult to feel and
has a tendency to roll
* It should be approached with
caution because underlying this
vein is the brachial artery and
median cutaneous nerve.

A

THE BASILIC VEIN

39
Q
  • The liquid portion which makes
    up 55% of the blood
  • When the blood is removed
    from the body, the blood clots
    and the liquid portion is serum
  • The clot contains all the formed
    elements intertwined together in
    a fibrin mass
A

THE PLASMA

40
Q

It is a chemical substance that prevents the blood from clotting
by preventing the fibrinogen from converting to fibrin

A

Anticoagulant

41
Q

is used to
spin the blood.
