The ____________ system is made of the blood, heart, and the blood vessels.
Cardiovascular
Blood is made of what?
Blood plasma
What fluid is similar to plasma and bathes body cells?
Interstitual fluid
What direction do wastes move?
Reverse
-the study of blood and blood disorders.
Hematology
The blood makes up what percent of body weight?
8%
What is the temperature of blood?
100.4 degrees F
What is the pH of blood?
7.4
How much blood does the average male have? and female?
5-6 liters; 4-5 liters
-sample is taken from a vein (median cubital) with a hypodermic needle and a syringe
Venipuncture
-is a blood protein that maintains blood osmotic pressure.
Albumin
-antibodies which bind to foreign substances called antigens to form antigen-antibody complexes.
Immunoglobulins
-produced by the liver and responsible for blood clotting
Fibrinogen
What are red blood cells?
Erythrocytes
What are white blood cells?
Leukocytes
Name the granular leukocytes.
1. Neutrophils
2. Basophils
3. Eosinophils
What are the agranular leukocytes?
Lymphocytes & Monocytes
-helper T cells, B cells (plasma cells that produce antibodies), and natural killer T cells
Lymphocytes
-become a macrophage when leaving the blood stream.
Monocytes
-special cell fragments that help form clots.
Platelets
-the process of blood cell formation.
Hematopoiesis
Where does hematopoiesis occur in embryos?
Yolk sac, liver, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and red bone marrow.
Where does hematopoiesis occur in adults?
Ends of long bones and red marrow of flat bones like sternum, ribs, skill, and pelvis
-produced when oxygen is low. It is produced by the kidneys (90%) and liver (10%). Increases the production of RBCs.
Erythropoietin (EPO)
-is the hormone from the liver which stimulates platelet formation.
Thrombopoietin (TPO)
-local hormones of the bone marrow. It is produced by some marrow cells to stimulate proliferating in other marrow cells.
Cytokines
What is the shape of a RBC and why?
Biconcave disk because it a gives the RBCs a flexible shape for narrow passages
RBCs have no what?
Nucleus, other organelles, cell division or mitochondrial ATP formation
-lack of absorption or loss of iron.
Iron-deficiency anemia
-lack of intrinsic factor for B12 absorption.
Pernicious anemia
-loss of RBCs due to bleeding (ulcer)
Hemorrhagic anemia
-RBCs burst. Ex. snake bite
Hemolytic anemia
-hereditary deficiency of hemoglobin.
Thalassemia anemia
-destruction of bone marrow due to radiation, toxins, or antibiotics.
Aplastic anemia
-not enough RBCs or the Hgb content is reduced which reduces the oxygen-carriny capacity of the blood. Symptoms are fatigue, cold intolerance, and paleness.
Anemia
Plasma is about _____% water.
90%
Oxygen attaches to _______ of the hemoglobin.
Iron
A RBC lives about _______ days.
120
Polycythemia can cause ________________.
Decreased perfusion
Sickle-cell anemia primarily affects the ______ of the RBC?
Hemoglobin
B cells are T cells are types of ______________.
Lymphocytes
-numbers will increase with a bacterial infection of the throat.
Neutrophil
-numbers will increase with parasitic worm infection.
Eosinophil
-will intensify an inflammatory reaction.
Basophil
-may leave vascular space to become a macrophage.
Monocytes
What blood type is considered to be the universal recipient?
Type AB
What blood type is considered to be the universal donor?
Type O
-the process of mixing the donor and recipient blood in order to determine if they are compatible for a blood transfusion.
Cross-match
-named after the rhesus monkey in which it was first studied. Individuals are Rh positive if they have the Rh agglutinogens and are Rh negative if they lack these.
Rh Group
-the transfer of whole blood, cells, or plasma in to the bloodstream of recipient to treat anemia or severe blood loss.
Blood transfusion
The oxygen is attached to _____ of the heme and the carbon dioxide attaches to the __________ within the globin part of hemoglobin
iron; amino acids
Where does the recycling of hemoglobin occur?
liver or spleen
-transported in blood attached to transferrin protein. It is stored in the liver, muscle, or spleen and in the bone marrow to be used for hemoglobin synthesis.
Iron
-(green) converted to bilirubin.
Biliverdin
-(yellow) transported to the liver and secreted by the liver into bile. Excessive RBC destruction leads to jaundice.
Bilirubin
-production of RBCs
Erthyropoiesis
1. Proerythroblasts start to produce hemoglobin.
2. It matures, ejects the nucleus, and a reticulocyte is formed.
3. Reticulocytes escape from the bone marrow into the blood.
4. Mature RBC form in 5-7 days from marrow to mature RBC in circulation. 2 million are produced per second.
Erthyropoiesis
-count should be .5% to 1.5% of the circulating RBCs. Low count may be due to leukemia, nutritional deficiency, or failure of the red bone marrow to respond to erythropoietin stimulation. High count may indicate recent blood loss or successful iron therapy.
Reticulocyte
-due to high altitude or lower oxygen pressure causes anemia which is low RBC production. The kidneys and liver responds by releasing erythropoietin. This speeds up development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes.
Tissue hypoxia (low oxygen)
-the percentage of formed elements in a blood sample. The normal range for a female 38-46% with an average of 42%. The normal range for men is 40-54% with an average of 46%.
Hematocrit
