nonliving fluid matrix, 90% water, 100+ different substances (nutrients, electrolytes, respiratory gases, hormones, plasma proteins, various waste, products of cell metabolism, etc.)

What is the normal pH of blood?

7.35-7.45

The normal blood volume of a man is _____ L.

5-6

Unique features of an erythrocyte

anucleate (lack a nucleus), don't use up oxygen = efficient transporter of oxygen, "bags" of hemoglobin molecules, lack mitochondria, few ganelles, make ATP by anaerobic mechanism

hemoglobin

oxygen carrying component of the RBC

measurement of hematocrit

"blood fraction", 45% of total blood volume taken in a sample

measurement of hemoglobin

transports bulk of oxygen

The color of blood may indicate ________.

amount of oxygen in the blood

anemia

decrease in oxygen carrying ability of blood

types of anemia

iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency, B12 deficiency (pernicious), hemorrhagic, hemolytic, aplastic, hereditary (sickle cell, thalasemia)

What is the cause of iron deficiency anemia?

low iron in diet, slow/prolonged bleed, depletes iron needed for hemog. RBCs

What is the cause of pernicious anemia?

decrease in RBC #

pernicious

B12 deficiency

What is the cause of hemorrhagic anemia?

decrease in RBC #

What is the cause of hemolytic anemia?

decrease in RBC #

What is the cause of aplastic anemia?

decrease in RBC #

What is the cause of hereditary (sickle cell, thalasemia) anemia?

abnormal hemoglobin in RBCs

What is the effect of iron deficiency anemia of blood?

inadequate hemoglobin content in RBCs

What is the effect of B12 deficiency (pernicious) anemia of blood?

no B12

What is the effect of hemorrhagic anemia of blood?

sudden hemorrhage (decrease in RBC #s)

What is the effect of hemolytic anemia of blood?

lysis of RBCs as a result of bacterial infections

What is the effect of aplastic anemia of blood?

depression/destruction of bone marrow by cancer, radiation, some medications

What is the effect of hereditary (sickle cell, thalasemia)

genetic defect > abnormal hemoglobin > sharp and sickle under rising oxygen use by body, occurs mainly in people of African descent

polycythemia

excessive or abnormal increase in the number of erythrocytes


(May result from bone marrow cancer, normal physiologic response to higher altitudes)

What are WBCs responsible for?

crucial to body defense against disease

How many WBCs are normally present per mm3 of blood?

4800-10800 WBC/mm3

What might an elevated level of WBCs mean?

fighting an infection

Types of WBCs

neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes

What are the functions of neutrophils?

active phagocytes, numbers increase rapidly during short-term or acute infections

What are the functions of eosinophils?

kill parasitic worms by deluging with digestive enzymes play complex role in allergy attacks

What are the functions of basophils?

release histamine at sites of inflammation, contain heparin (anticoagulant)

What are the functions of lymphocytes?

part of immune system, one group produces antibodies, graft rejection, fights tumors and viruses via direct cell attack

What are the functions of monocytes?

active phagocytes > macrophages in tissue, long term "clean team", rise in numbers during chronic infection (TB)

___ Neutrophils per mm3

3000-7000

___ Eosinophils per mm3

100-400

____ Basophils per mm3

20-50

___ Lymphocytes per mm3

1500-3000

___ Monocytes per mm3

100-700

leukemia

"white blood"


bone marrow becomes cancerous, increased numbers of WBCs because increase equals immature which means they're not as good at their jobs

Where does hematopoiesis take place in the body?

red bone marrow/myeloid tissue

reticulocytes

young RBC

hemostasis

(hem=blood, stasis=standing still)


stop bleeding

Vit K Deficiency Disease, Hemophilia, Diseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)

clotting disorders

During hemostasis ______ spasms narrow blood vessels at would until clotting.

vascular

platelet plug formation

platelets anchor and release chemicals to increase spasms and increase platelets, begins to form a plug

coagulation

blood clotting

The release of TF + PF3 + Ca2+ + clotting factors = _______.

activator

Activator leads to the formation of _______ and _______.

thrombin, fibrinogen

Insoluble fibron is a mesh that traps ___ which is the _____ ____.

RBC, basis clot

The clot _______ which pulls skin _____ and _____ is released.

retracts, closer, serum

Vit K Deficiency Disease

clotting disorder, newborns don't produce enough the first few days before milk "comes in", shots and supplements available

Hemophilia

"bleeder's disease"


hereditary bleeding disorders that equal a decrease in clotting factors

Diseminated Intravascular Coagulation

hemostatic problem, overactive clotting factors, can clot in blood vessels, can clog and restric blood supply to organs which can mean damage, can be "used up" which could equal heavy bleeding with minor injury or spontaneous bleeds without wounds, can damage RBC because travel through small vessels filled with clots

DIC

Diseminated Intravascular Coagulation

thrombus

a clot that develops and persists in an unbroken blood vessel

possible implications of a thrombus

may prevent blood from flowing to cells past blockage, death of heart muscle, fatal heart attack, could become an embolus

reasons for a bleeding disorder

genetics, impaired liver function, coagulation factors low, long term use of antibiotics, vitamin K deficiency, low RBC count

antigen

substance that the body recognizes as foreign, stimulates immune system to release antibodies or other defense

antibody

"recognizers"


present in plasma that attach to RBC bearing surface antigens different from those on patients' RBC

agglutination of RBCs

leads to clogging of small blood vessels phenomenon throughout body, binding of antibodies causes foreign RBCs to clump
