Components of blood
|
plasma, erythrocytes(or red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets
|
|
Plasma
|
1. 90% water
2. proteins - albumins(maintain water balance) and globulins(bind with subsstance for transport) 3. electrolytes (maintain water balance) 4. hormones (signalling molecules) 5. nutrients and waste 6. dissolved gasses (CO2 and O2) |
|
Erythrocytes
|
1. red blood cells, common
2. have hemoglobin to store O2 3. no nucleus/ mitochondria 4. short lived, recycled by macrophages 5. replaced by rbc's produced in marrow 6. regulated by kidneys |
|
Leukocytes
|
rare, contain nucleus and mitochondria, but no hemoglobin
|
|
Macrophages
|
eat bacteria/abnormal cells and such, capable of leaving the blood
|
|
Lymphocytes
|
B cells and T cells in lymph system
|
|
Platelets
|
very large numbers, pieces of megakaryocytes, in charge of clotting
|
|
Hemostatis - healing cuts
|
1. vascular spasms
2. platelets congregate at cut 3. fibrin formation to make more perminant clot |
|
Antigen
|
cell surface protein(self recognition). MHC - major histocompatibility complex
|
|
Antibodies
|
produced by B lymphocytes, specific to certain anitgens, cause cells to clump
|
|
A type blood
|
A antigens, B antibodies
|
|
B type blood
|
B antigens, A antibodies
|
|
AB type blood
|
A and B antigens, neither antibodies
|
|
O type blood
|
neither antigen, A and B antibodies
|
|
Rh factor
|
most people have it, meaning they're +. Rh- can only safely recieve one transfusion and have one Rh+ baby
|
|
Jaundice
|
accumulation of bilirubin, liver problem, increase of rbc breakdown
|
|
Anemia
|
iron dificiency or sickle cell
|
|
Carbon monoxide poisoning
|
CO out competes O2 in hemoglobin
|
|
Leukemia
|
uncontrolled production of abnormal or under developed leukocytes
|
|
Multiple myeloma
|
abnormal plasma cells
|
|

|
|
mononucleosis
|
viral, infects lymphocytes and lymph tissues
|
|
Septicemia
|
blood poisoning, bacterial
|
|
Hemophilia
|
genetic deficiency of clotting factors
|
|
Thrombocytopenia
|
too few platelets
|
