Define antigen.

Contraction of antibody generating

Break down the word

How many types of RBCs are there?

4- A,B,AB,O

Blood types

What percentage of formed elements in blood are RBCs?

99.9% 25/75 trillion cells

What makes RBCs unique?

Very specialized, no nucleus or mitochondria, shape

Purpose is to deliver oxygen

Define anemia

When RBCs make up less than 99.9% of formed elements

How many types of WBCs are there and what are they named?

5 - Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Monocytes, Lymphocytes

Never let monkeys eat bananas

Define hemostasis

Proper term for blood clotting

Medical terminology

Superior and inferior venae cavae, and pulmonary trunk

What 3 structures feed into the right atrium?

What are the 5 functions of blood?

Transport (gases, nutrients, hormones, waste)


Regulate pH


Restrict fluid loss in the event of injury


Defend against toxins and pathogens


Stabilize body temperature

What is the normal temperature for blood?

38 degrees centigrade

Normal blood pH is:

Between 7.35 and 7.45

2 main types of lymphocytes and where they are formed

T-cells - thymus - cell mediated immunity (against invading foreign cells, and coordination of immune response)


B-cells - bone - humoral immunity (activated bcells differentiate into plasma cells specialized to synthesize and secrete antibodies)

Blood has a viscosity roughly _× that of water

5

Autorythmicity

Ability of the heart to contract on its own, without neural or hormonal stimulation

3 defenses for when iron is released from it's heme group;

First bind to transferrin


1)RBCs in red bone marrow absorb them to synthesize new Hb molecules


2) excess transferrin removed in the liver and spleen and stored in ferritin and hemosiderin


3) can be stripped of its ion and converted into bilirubin

Check with Stephanie

Neutrophil (50-70%)

Primary infection fighter


First on scene


Highly mobile


Phagocytic- attack and kill marked bacteria


Engulf bacteria>respiratory burst>production of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anions>degranulation


Increase capillary permeability


Release leukotrienes

Lymphocytes (20-40%)

Very active between blood stream and peripheral tissues


Tcells, Bcells, NKcells

Monocytes (2-8%)

Circulate in bloodstream for 24 hours then enter peripheral tissue and become macrophage


Can consume items as large as themselves


Engage in chemotaxis - attract and stimulate WBCs, and bring in fibroblasts to create scar tissue

Eosinophil (2-4%)

Attack objects coated in antibodies (masked bacteria, protozoa)


Primary attack- exocytosis of toxic compounds- especially effective against multicellular parasites (flukes and roundworm)


Sensitive to allergens so increase during allergic reactions

Basophil (<1%)

Contain histamines which dilate blood vessels, and heparin which prevents clotting

Macrophage

Aggressive phagocyte

Formula for cardiac output

CO mL/min =HR (beats/min) × SV (mL/beat


Formula for stroke volume

SV=EDV-ESV


(End diastolic volume - end systolic volume)

ECG section

Erythropoiesis

Formation of RBCs

Erythropoietin

Hormone which directly stimulates erythropoiesis


Produced in kidneys and liver in response to low oxygen levels in peripheral tissues (hypoxia)


Stimulates cell division in erythroblasts and speeds up maturation of RBCs

Conditions that stimulate RBC production

Hypoxia (low oxygen levels)


Anemia


Blood flow to kidneys declines


Respiratory surfaces of lungs are damaged


Oxygen content of lungs decreases

Impulse conduction through heart

Phases of cardiac cycle

Bonus points

Heart anatomy

Sectional anatomy

Leaky valves

What causes a murmur

Differences in fetal heart

1) foramen ovule- opening in interatrial septum connecting the two atria, closes at birth, allows blood flow between atria while lungs are developing


2)

3 cardiac muscle layers

Epicardium, mayocardium, endocardium

Cardiac muscle ratio

99:1 contracting: conducting

Platelets

Disc shaped cell fragments


Function: release important to clotting


Form temporary patch in walls of damaged vessels (Platelet plug)


Reduce size of break in vessel wall (actin and myosin filaments)
