megan wants to enter a weight lifting competition and consults you as to what type of muscle fibers she needs to develop and how she should go about it. What would you suggest to her?
she needs fast fibers. to develop these she should do short, intense workouts that involve heavy weights that stretch her fatigue levels
small, membrane bound cell fragments that contain enzymes and other substances important for clotting
platelets
platelets
release a variety of chemicals that promote aggregation, a vascular spasm, clotting, and vessel repair
an individual who is type B+ has which of the following antibodies in their plasma?
anti A
a hematocrit provides info on
sedimentation rate
white blood cells that release histamine at the site of an injury are
basophils
Which of the following is not true of monocytes?
- release histamine
- enter tissues and wander
- become macrophages
- can phagocytize bacteria
release histamine
the production of erythropoietin is stimulated when
blood flow to the kidney declines
the waste product bilirubin is produced from
heme molecules lacking iron
a substance that activates plasminogen might be useful to
cause clots to dissolve more quickly
the percent fraction of formed elements relative to whole blood is the
hematocrit
the most abundant component of plasma is
proteins
the chief difference between plasma and interstitial fluid involves the concentration of
proteins
which of the following is not one of the formed elements of blood?
basophils
which organ secretes most of the plasma proteins?
liver
the most abundant proteins in blood plasma are
albumins
all of the following are functions of blood except
- regulating pH
- transporting gases and hormones
- generating action potentials
- defending against pathogens
- regulating ion concentration
generating action potentials
you have spent 24 hours traveling from the US to New Zealand, on quite a few airplanes with many stops. because of the stress, changes in time zones, and short blocks of time between planes, you find yourself tired with a headache when you arrive. You are severely dehydrated. a hematocrit value of you r blood would be (BLANK) than normal because (BLANK)
higher; you have less blood plasma volume
all the circulating red blood cells in an adult originate in the
red bone marrow
red blood cell production is regulated by the hormone
erythropoietin
the level of erythropoietin in the blood would rise due to all of the following except
periods of fasting
each heme ring in hemoglobin encloses an atom of
iron
pernicious anemia caused by a lack of intrinsic factor is specifically treated by
injections of vitamin B12
which of the following would you expect to see in increased numbers in a peripheral blood sample after donating a unit of blood?
reticulocytes
a bruise appears as a greenish spot in the skin because
the heme group in the hemoglobin has broken down into biliverdin
most of the iron that is removed from degraded hemoglobin is
recycled to the red bone marrow
in adults, erythropoiesis exclusively takes place in
red bone marrow
the developmental stage at which erythrocytes enter the circulation is as
reticulocytes
erythropoiesis is stimulated when
blood flow to the kidney declines
each hemoglobin molecule contains
four iron atoms
erythropoietin is a hormone
released by the kidneys to stimulate red blood cell production
type AB blood has which of the following characteristics?
RBCs have both the A and B surface antigens and no ABO plasma antibodies
type A blood has (BLANK) antibodies in the blood plasma
anti B
You have type B positive blood. What are all the types of packed RBCs you can receive?
B positive, B negative, O positive, O negative
in an emergency situation when you have no time to wait for cross matched blood you could give a patient type (BLANK) the cross match is available
