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
