|
Average adult has how much blood? |
5 liters |
|
|
How does blood circulate through body? |
Within blood vessels |
|
|
Where are blood cells produced? |
Red bone marrow |
|
|
Process of producing blood cells? |
Process called hematopoiesis |
|
|
What is blood? |
A mixture of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets floating in fluid called plasma |
|
|
Plasma |
Fluid part blood About 55% of whole blood Plasma is 90-92% water Remaining 8-10% is dissolved substances |
|
|
Plasma proteins and molecules |
*Albumin *Globulin *Fibrinogen Calcium, potassium, sodium,glucose, amino acids, fats, urea, creatinine |
|
|
Albumin |
Helps transport fatty substances |
|
|
Globulin |
Gamma globulins are antibodies |
|
|
Fibrinogen |
Blood clotting protein |
|
|
Erythrocytes |
Enucleated *No nucleus Biconcave disk Life span of 120 days |
|
|
Hemoglobin |
Gives red color Pigment containing iron Responsible for oxygen transport |
|
|
Life span of blood |
120 days Spleen removes worn out red blood cells Iron can be reused |
|
|
Bilirubin |
Waste product disposed by liver |
|
|
Leukocytes |
Provides protection against pathogens Subdivided into two categories *Granulocytes Have granules in cytoplasm *Agranulocytes No granules in cytoplasm |
|
|
Granulocytes |
*basophils Release histamine and heparin to damaged tissue *Eosinophils Destroy parasites and increase during allergic reaction *Neutrophils Important for phagocytosis |
|
|
Agranulocytes |
*Monocytes Important for phagocytosis *Lymphocytes Provide protection through immunity |
|
|
Platelets |
Aka as thrombocyte Smallest of all blood elements Critical in blood clotting *Hemostasis |
|
|
Blood typing |
Test to determine if donated blood is compatible with recipients blood Two most important types ABO system and RH factor |
|
|
ABO SYSTEM |
Two possible RBC markers, A and B Person with A marker has type A blood *Type A blood produces anti- B antibodies *Anti-B antibodies attack type B and AB bloods Person with B marker has type B blood * Type B blood produces anti-A antbodies * Anti-A antibodies attack type A ad type AB blood |
|
|
ABO system type AB |
Person with both markers has type AB blood *Type AB blood produces no antibodies *Therefore it will not attack any other blood types |
|
|
ABO system type O |
Person with no marker has type O blood * Type O blood produces anti-A and anti-B antibodies *These antibodies will attack type A, type B, and type AB blood |
|
|
Universal donor |
Type o blood is the universal donor because it will not react with anti -A or anti -B antibodies found in other blood types |
|
|
Universal recipient |
Type AB blood is the universal recipient because AB has no antibodies against other blood types it will not react with other blood |
|
|
Rh positive |
Will not make anti-Rh antibodies Can receive Rh+ or Rh- blood |
|
|
RH negative |
Will produce anti-Rh antibodies Can only receive Rh- blood |
