Blood is divided into which two things?
|
Plasma and cells.
|
|
|
What does plasma contain?
|
Water, salt, gases, ions, nutrient molecules and proteins.
|
|
|
Which proteins does plasma contain?
|
Albumin, fibrinogen, globulins( including antibodies ) and other clotting proteins.
|
|
|
Whats the function of Albumin?
|
It regulates the blood-pressure.
|
|
|
Whats the function of Fibrinogen?
|
It is partially responsible for clotting of blood.
|
|
|
Whats the function of Globulin?
|
It functions as a transporter, it is also partially responsible for blood clotting and it supports the immune system.
|
|
|
What is the function of plasma?
|
Blood clotting, blood pressure regulation, medium of exchange for minerals such as sodium and potassium.
|
|
|
What does the cellular portion of the blood contain?
|
Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. These are produced in the bone marrow.
|
|
|
What is the function of Red blood cells?
|
It transport gases with hemoglobin.
|
|
|
What is hemoglobin?
|
Hemoglobin is a transporter that transports oxygen throughout the body, it also colors the blood red.
|
|
|
What is plasma? %
|
90% water
|
|
|
How much of our blood contains plasma?
|
55%
|
|
|
What is "hematocrit"?
|
It's the average red blood cell concentration that an average male have in his blood, roughly 47%.
|
|
|
What stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells?
|
Erythoprotein, which is produced in response to hipoxia in the tissue.
|
|
|
How long do red blood cells live?
|
Roughly 120 days in the circulatory system, they're eventually removed by the spleen.
|
|
|
What's the function of white blood cells?
|
White blood cells are responsible for protecting the body from invading foreign substances(bacteria, fungi and viruses).
|
|
|
Where are white blood cells produced and how many are there x:x?
|
They're produced in the bone marrow, there they're 2:1 vs red blood cells. In the blood stream they're 1:600 vs red blood cells.
|
|
|
What type of white blood cells are there?
|
Granulocytes and macrophages which protect against infections by surrounding and destroying invading bacteria and viruses.
Lymphocytes that aid in immune system. |
|
|
What are Platelets?
|
Platelets are blood clotting cells, together with circulating proteins. They're made in the bone marrow and survive for 9~10 days before being removed by speel.
|
|
|
Who discovered the ABO blood types?
|
Karl Landsteiner of the University of Vienna discovered ABO in 1900 and 1901 when trying to figure out why some patients died in blood transfusions. He gained a Nobel prize in 1930.
|
|
|
What types of ABO are there?
|
A, B, O and AB.
|
|
|
Antigen and antibody of A.
|
Antigen A and Antibody anti-B.
|
|
|
Antigen and antibody of B.
|
Antigen B and Antibody anti-A
|
|
|
Antigen and antibody of O.
|
No antigens and Antibody anti-A and Antibody anti-B.
|
|
|
Antigen and antibody of AB.
|
Antigen A and B no antibodies.
|
|
|
What is a phenotype?
|
It is the appearance resulting from genotype, brown eyes for example.
|
|
|
What is a genotype?
|
It is the genetic construction of an organism, BB(brown eyes) for example or AA.
|
|
|
Whats the genotype of A-group phenotype?
|
AA or Ao.
|
|
|
Whats the genotype of B-group phenotype?
|
BB or Bo.
|
|
|
Whats the genotype of AB-group phenotype?
|
AB
|
|
|
Whats the genotype of O-group phenotype?
|
OO
|
|
|
What's special about AB-group?
|
It does not produce any antigen so it can receive all type of blood, but it's non-donable.
|
|
|
What's special about OO-group?
|
It does not have any antibody so it can be donated to anyone, but a OO can only receive OO blood.
