Blood Consist of |
Plasma and formed elements |
|
Plasma contains __ of total blood volume |
55% |
|
Formed Elements contain ___ of blood volume |
45% |
|
What are the three type of plasma proteins found in blood and their functions |
- alumina: maintain blood volume - globulins: Have alpha, beta and gamma - fibrinogen: forms blood clot |
|
What are the functions of Alpha, Beta, and gamma globulins? |
Alpha: transport copper and some liquid (eg: high density lipoprotein) Beta: transport iron and liquid (eg: LDL) Gamma: antibodies |
|
Plasma is the |
Liquid portion of the blood |
|
What is serum? |
Plasma minus fibrinogen |
|
What are red blood cells and their function |
Erythrocytes (makes 99% of blood cells) - transport oxygen |
|
Number of Red blood cells is determined by |
Hct (Hematocrit) |
|
Why are Hematocrit slightly higher in men and what is the percentile? |
Because of testosterone 42-54% |
|
Why do women make less Hct than men and what is the percentile? |
Because of the menstrual cycle 35-46% |
|
What’s is Hct (Hematocrit) |
% of RBC in the whole blood |
|
What is polycythemia? |
Increase number of RBC like 55% (increase Hct) - increase O2 capacity |
|
Why would people in Denver have higher RBC than someone who’s live in Miami |
Because they live in higher elevation. the increase in RBC mean an increase in Hct |
|
What is anemia |
Decrease in RBCs (about 36%) Decrease in Hct, and O2 capacity |
|
What are the 6 type of anemias and their causes? |
Sickle cell: abnormal shape hemoglobin (moon shape) both hard and wide. Decrease oxygen Iron deficiency: can’t bind to oxygen Pernicious: lack of vitamin B12 Hemolytic: weak RBC Cell membrane Hemorrhagic: bleeding and losing too much blood Aplastic: bone marrow not producing enough RBC |
|
What are the 4 ABO groups |
Type A: donate to A, AB receive: A,O Type B: donate to B,AB Receive: B,O Type AB: donate to AB Receive: everybody Type O: universal donor Receive: O |
|
What blood type if the true universal donor and acceptor |
Donor: type O- Acceptor: type AB+ |
|
What are the two Rh blood groups? |
Rh+: donate to only Rh+ Receive from Rh+ and Rh- Rh-: donate to Rh+ & Rh- Receive: only Rh- |
|
What happens to the Rh blood in an Erythoblastostosis fetus? |
Mother carries Rh- and child Rh+ |
|
What are white blood cells |
Leukocytes (1% of blood cells) Functions in immunity |
|
What are the three granular WBC and their functions: |
1. Neutrophils (60-70%) Function: antibacterial phagocytic cells Cause: UTIs 2. Eosinophils (2-4%) Function: phagocytize Ag-AB complex & attack 3. Basophils (0.5-1%) Function: release histamine, heparin, and leukotriene Cause: allergies |
|
What are the two type of Non-granular? |
1. Lymphocytes: (20-25%) Function: T-cells (attack viruses) , B-cells (produce antibodies) Cause: cancer 2. Monocytes: (3-8%) Function: phagocytize foreign pathogens |
|
Formula for Cardiac output: |
Stroke vol. (m1/beat) X Heart rate (beats/min) |
|
3 steps of stroke Vol. |
1. Preload (EDV) Increase pre —> increase SV 2. Contractility Increase contra. —> increase SV 3. Afterload Increase afterload —> decr. SV |
|
The Cardiac output effects 3 parts |
Nerves, hormones, Ions |
