33
Q

Characteristics of RBCs

A
  • shaped like discs
  • 8 micrometers
  • NO nucleus
  • changes shape easily
  • filled w/ HEMOGLOBIN
34
Q

What is the function of hemoglobin (hb)?

A

It carries O2

35
Q

Hemoglobin characteristics

A
  • 4 large protein chains

- Heme group

36
Q

What is a heme group?

A

a porphyrin “ring” that surrounds a single iron molecule in each protein chain

37
Q

What can each iron in the protein chains of hemoglobin bind to?

A

O2

*4 irons -> 4 O2 total

38
Q

Where does the O2 bind to hemoglobin?

A

In capillaries of the lungs

39
Q

What circulation system sends hemoglobin O2 to the rest of the body?

A

Systemic circulation

40
Q

What else does hemoglobin send to the body?

41
Q

How does CO2 bind to hemoglobin?

A

binds to amino acids in -globin part of hemoglobin (NOT HEME)

42
Q

What is erythropoiesis?

A

Red blood cell formation

43
Q

Where does erythropoiesis occur?

A

red bone marrow

44
Q

How are red blood cells (erythrocyte) made?

A

hemopoietic stem cell-> myeloid stem cells -> proerythroblasts -> erythroblast -> reticulocytes -> gets hemoglobin and kicks out nucleus -> erythrocyte

45
Q

What 3 HORMONES stimulate the creation of blood?

A
  • Erythropoietin (EPO)
  • Thrombopoietin (TPO)
  • Cytokines
46
Q

What does erythropoietin stimulate?

A

Stimulates erythropoiesis (creation of red blood cells)

47
Q

Where is erythropoietin produced?

48
Q

What does thrombopoietin do?

A

Stimulates platelet formation

49
Q

Where is the thrombopoietin hormone produced?

50
Q

What is cytokines?

A

local hormones in bone marrow

51
Q

What does cytokines stimulate?

A

WBC production

52
Q

What stimulates cytokines to produce WBC?

A

colony-stimulating factors (CSF) and interleukins

53
Q

Where is cytokines produced?

A

BONE MARROW?

54
Q

What is erythropoietin (EPO) effective in treating?

A

desceased RBC production of end-stage kidney disease

55
Q

What does thrombopoietin (TPO) help prevent?

A

Platelet depletion during chemothrerapy

56
Q

How long do RBC live?

57
Q

How are worn out RBCs removed from body?

A

macrophages in spleen and liver

58
Q

During recycling of RBCs, what happens to the “HEME” portion of hemoglobin

A

split into iron (Fe3+) and biliverdin (green pigment)

59
Q

Where is iron (Fe3+) stored in the body?

A

liver, muscle, or spleen

60
Q

How does blood travel to bone marrow?

A

transported in blood attached to transferrin protein

61
Q

What is biliverdin converted to in macrophages in the spleen, liver, or red bone marrow?

62
Q

What does the liver secrete bilirubin as?

63
Q

What is bile secreted in the intestine used for?

64
Q

What does Bilirubin turn into in the large intestine?

A

Urobilinogen

65
Q

What happens to urobilinogen?

A

it is reabsorbed, coverted into robilin and excreted via the KIDNEY and URINE

66
Q

What is the main difference between WBC and RBD

A

WBC have a nucleus but no hemoglobin

RBC have hemoglobin but no nucleus

67
Q

Define leukocytosis?

A

condition with high white blood cell count

68
Q

Define leukopenia

A

Condition with low white blood cell count

69
Q

Where is WBC found in circulation?

A

2% in blood

  • rest in lymphatic fluid, skin, lungs, lymph nodes and spleen
70
Q

How do WBC travel through vessels?

A

they roll, stick to wall, and squeeze out between cells

71
Q

What helps WBC stick to endothelium wall?

72
Q

What on WBC helps them move through the vessel wall?

73
Q

What is phagocytosis?

A

“cell eating” of bacteria

74
Q

What cell performs phagocytosis?

75
Q

What type of WBC performs phagocytosis the least?

A

Eosinophils

76
Q

What are the 3 processes of phagocytosis?

A
  1. Chemotaxis
  2. Adherence and Ingestion
  3. Destruction
77
Q

What happens during chemotaxis?

A
  • phagocytic cell goes to site of infection

- chemicals released by infected cell/ pathogen attract the phagocyte

78
Q

What happens during adherence and ingestion

A
  • phagocyte gets attached to pathogen / infected cell membrane
  • ingestion starts by enveloping pseudopodia -> a phagosome
79
Q

What happens during destruction

A
  • phagosome fuses with a lysosome -> phagolyosome
  • lysozymes (a destructive chemical from the lysosome) destroys the membrane
  • dead cell removed by exocytosis
80
Q

How does a bone marrow transplant happen?

A
  • destroy sick bone marrow with radiation and chemo
  • put sample of donor marrow into patients vein for re-seeding of bone marrow
  • success depends on patient donor compatibility
81
Q

What is bone marrow transplants used for?

A

leukemia, sickle-cell, breast, ovarian or testicular cancer, lymphoma, or aplastic anemia
