Z 333 Flashcards
albumin
60% of plasma proteins
osmotic pressure, transporting ions (Ca2+)
globulins
36% of plasma proteins
transport proteins, immune response (antibodies)
fibrinogen
4% of plasma proteins
blood clotting
oxyhemoglobin
when O2 loaded on in lungs
deoxyhemoglobin
when O2 unloaded at tissues
carbaminohemoglobin
CO2 binds amino acids in globin chains at tissues
hemocytoblast
stem cell from which all formed elements are made
reticulocyte
forms into erythrocyte
3 phases once stem cell is committed
ribosome synthesis
hemoglobin accumulation
ejection of nucleus
erythropoietin
control erythrocyte development
produced in liver and kidneys
RBCs circulate in blood for
100-120 days
polycythemia
excess of erythrocytes
5 million
RBCs/ microliter of blood
200,000
platelets / microliter of blood
5-10,000
WBCs / microliter of blood
12-18g
hemoglobin / 100mL blood
whole blood is…
55% plasma
45% RBCs (more in males because testosterone stimulates RBC production)
1% WBCs and platelets (buffy layer)
3 types of formed elements
erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets
universal receiver
AB
universal donor
O
granulocytes
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
neutrophils
bacteria slayers
eosinophils
parasitic worms, allergic response and asthma
basophils
histamine, vasodilator, allergies
lymphocytes
B cells, T cells, NK cells
monocytes
macrophages
one type of APC
B cells
give rise to plasma cells that produce antibodies
T cells
helper: activate and direct other immune cells
cytotoxic: recognize fragmented antigens presented by Antigen Presenting Cells; recognize using TCR
natural killer cells
do not need antigen presentation
target cells infected with viruses and microbes
both T cells and NK cells…
contact with infected cell initiates release of perforins and granzymes that cause rupture and death
