Q

Inspiration

A
  • process of taking air into the lungs

Q

Gas Exchange

A
  • blood receive O2 from air and allow CO2 to leave body

- Blood with CO2 diffuses from capillaries into alveoli

Q

Lymph

A

Collects and returns interstitial fluid
Defends body from disease by transporting lymphocytes
Absorb lipids from the intestine and transport them to the blood

17
Q

Lymph nodes

A

Located along lymph vessels
Filters lymph fluid
Contains lymphocytes to help fight infections
Found in clumps

18
Q

Erythrocytes (red blood cells)

A 
Transport gases
Biconcave discs
No nucleus
120 life span 
Contain haemoglobin
19
Q

Leucocytes (white blood cells)

A

Protect body against invasive organisms and tumour cells

20
Q

Thrombocytes (platelets)

A

Used in clotting

21
Q

White blood cell types

A

Neutrophil
Basophil
Eosinophil
Monocyte

22
Q

Blood Features

A 
380 degrees Celsius 
pH 7.35-7.45
Salinity 0.9%

23
Q

Blood Group A

A

Antigen A

Anti-B

24
Q

Blood Group B

A

Antigen B

Anti- A

25
Q

Blood Group AB

A

Antigen A and Antigen B

No Antibody

26
Q

Blood Group O

A

No antigens

Both anti-a and anti-b

27
Q

Rh blood groups

A

Based on the antigen found on the surface of red blood cells
A person with Rh antigen is called Rh positive
A person without the Rh antigen is called Rh negative
Only negative can produce anti body Rh

28
Q

Red cell Concentrates

A

Blood is put through centrifuge so heavy cells sink and plasma stays on top

29
Q

Whole Blood

A

Blood from a donor with a chemical added to prevent clotting

30
Q

Plasma

A

Liquid part of blood, for severe bleeding, liver disease or help with clotting

31
Q

Platelet Concentrates

A

For those with reduced levels

32
Q

Cryoprecipitate

A

Freeze plasma then thaw it slowly so it remains solid and contains substances for clotting

33
Q

Immunoglobins

A

Antibody proteins used for people with reduced antibody levels for particular diseases

34
Q

Autologous Transfusion

A

Your own blood prior to an operation

35
Q

Signs of inflammation

A

Heat, Pain, Redness and Swelling

36
Q

Inflammatory Response

A

Dilation of blood vessels in the affected area

Increased permeability of the capillaries, allowing plasma to leak into surrounding tissue

37
Q

Chemotaxis

A

Phagocytes are attracted to the affected area

38
Q

Blood Clotting

A
  1. Damage to blood vessels
  2. Vasoconstriction to reduce blood flow
  3. Thrombocytes attach to wound
  4. Clotting commences, formation of fibrinogen
  5. Clot retraction to form scab
  6. Clot breakdown
