A person's total blood volume
involves age, sex, body type
Blood volume per kilogram of body weight varies inversely with
excess body fat
a hematocrit of 56% would be an indication of
polycythemia
Erythrocyte
is a mature cell that has no nucleus, mitochondria, or ribosomes
a normal adult red blood cell count ranges from
4.2 to 5.8 million/cubic mm
Erythrocyte
is a cell type that can carry oxygen
A hematocrit of 40% means that in every 100 ml of whole blood there are
40 red blood cells and the remainder is fluid plasma
under the microscope, erythrocytes appear as
biconcave disks without nuclei
erythropoiesis is the formation of
red blood cells
many types of blood cells are produced in the
red bone marrow
in the formation of blood cells, the megakaryoblast ultimately developes in
platelets
erythropoietin is a hormone
released by the liver to stimulate red blood cell formation
carbon dioxide is transported as bicarbonate ions because of a chemical reaction catabolized by the enzyme
carbonic anhydrase
all blood cells are derived from
heocytoblasts
heme is broken down into what pigment, which is excreted in bile?
bilirubin
Agranulocytes
lymphocytes and monocytes
which of the following types of white blood cells is through to play a role in the prevention of clotting
basophil
example of a leukocyte
monocyte
which type of white blood cells plays a major role in immunity to infectious diseases
lymphocytes
which of the following have the greatest power of phago cytosis in the tissues?
neturophils and monocytes
thrombocytes are used for
transfer of oxygen
Rh factor that can cause agglutination of an infacts red blood cells?
Mother -, Father +, Infant +
People with type AB blood are considered universal recipients because their blood
does not contain either anti -A or anti-B antibodies
which of the following is an anticoagulant?
Heparin
pernicious anemia may occur because of a lack of vitamin
B12
the major ingredient in hemoglobin that allows oxygen to be transported is
iron
the decrease in red blood cell numbers can result in
anemia
which of the following formed elements assist in coagulation
thrombocytes
hemocytoblasts give rise to
erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, etc.
a person with only antibody B in his or her plasma would have which blood type?
Type A
The function of blood is to
carry food to the cells, remove waste from the cells, assist the body in temperature regulation
a hematocrit value of 38 ml/100,l of blood would be
in the low normal range for a woman
when whole blood is spun down a centrifuge, the bufft coat can be found
between the plasma and red blood cells
one hemoglobin molecule contains
one molecule of heme, one molecule of globin, 4 iron atoms
end product of the breakdown of hemoglobin?
bilirubin, free oxygen, iron
whole blood constitutes about what percent of the total body weight?
8%
the approximate blood volume in a human can be determined by using
indirect method, a radiostope
formed element of the blood
erythrocytes
which metal is needed by the body to form red blood cells?
iron
white blood cells
more brightly colored than red blood cells, larger than red blood cells, contains a nucleus
some white blood cells are capable of diapedesis this means they can
migrate out of blood vessels into tissue spaces
which white blood cell helps protect against parasitic worms?
eosinophil
the most mature developing red blood cell that still contains a nucleus is
reticulocyte
which white blood cell contains granules filled with histamine?
basophil
a person with no antibodies in the blood plasma would have which blood type?
AB
a person with no antigens on the red blood cell would have which blood type
O
a person with an antigen on the red blood cell and a different antibody in the plasma
Type A or B
a hematocrit of 56% would be and indication of
polycythemia
how does the body benefit from the breakdown of aged or damaged red blood cells
the breakdown increases erythropoiesis, which results in an increase in red blood cells
105-120 days
erythrocyte
10-12 days
eosinophil
months
monocyte
days to years
lymphocyte
hours to 3 days
basophil
