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
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
