Q

_____ and _____ form ECF in the body.

A

Plasma and Interstitial fluid

19
Q

What are the 3 primary classes of plasma proteins?

A
  • Albumin (60%)
  • Globulins (35%)
  • Fibrinogen (4%)
20
Q

Plasma protein: Most abundant, transport fatty acids, thyroid hormones, steriods.

A

Albumin

21
Q

Plasma protein: Two subtypes: antibodies and transport globulins.

A

Globulins

22
Q

Also called immunoglobulins or IGs defend against infection.

A

Antibodies

23
Q

Bind small ions, or insoluble hormones.

A

Transport globulins

24
Q

Plasma protein: This protein is converted to fibrin upon inury causing blood clotting.

A

Fibrinogen

25
Q

Other plasma proteins (5)

A
  • Insulin
  • Prolactin
  • TSH
  • FSH
  • LH
26
Q

(Cells) makes up about 45% of blood.

A

Formed elements

27
Q

Blood clotting cells.

A

Platelets- Thrombocytes

28
Q

Process that produces formed elements at birth.

A

Hematopoiesis

29
Q

Process of hematopoiesis? (7)

A
  1. Embryo blood cells appear in bloodstream during 3rd week of development.
  2. Cells then move out of blood into liver, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.
  3. These embryonic cells become stem cells.
  4. Stem cells produce blood cells.
  5. In adults “red bone marrow” is the only site of WBC/RBC formation.
  6. Stem cells (pluripotent stem cells or hemacytoblasts) can divide to produce myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells.
  7. Lymphoid stem cells produce lympocytes; myeloid stem cells produce RBCs and WBCs (except for lymphocytes).
30
Q

What happens if the body experiences an oxygen deficiency due to low RBCs? (4)

A
  1. Chemoreceptors in kidsney and liver detects an oxygen deficiency they produce hormone called erthropoietin (EPO)
  2. EPO travels to the red bone marrow and stimulates RBC production
  3. RBC production causes increase in O2 in body
  4. O2 increase is detected at kidney and liver and EPO production stops.
31
Q

How long do RBCs last?

A

About 120 days or damaged from traveling through small capillaries.

32
Q

Process of RBC destruction?

A
  • RBC gets old
  • RBCs are phagocytized by macrophages in the liver and spleen
  • Hemoglobin is broken down into components and recycled (1- heme: a pigment. 2-Globin: a protein)
  • Iron released from heme, is now available for resue or storage in the liver
  • Heme is converted to biliverdin (green pigment) which is coverted into bilirubin (yellow/orange pigment)
  • Biliverdin and bilirubin are excreted as bile pigments in urine and feces.
33
Q

A pigment

A

Heme

34
Q

A protein

A

Globin

35
Q

Dietary factors that effect RBC production

A
  • Vitamin B12- which is needed for RBC growth.

- Iron- is needed to produce hemaglobin

36
Q

Red blood cells contain _______ (red pigment) which is the protein which carries O2/CO2.

A

hemoglobin

37
Q

1 drop of blood contains _________ which lasts about _________.

A

Millions of RBCs.

Lasts about 4 months

38
Q

The % of whole blood occupied by blood cells.

A

Hematocrit

39
Q

WBC’s and platelets form on top of RBCs. Ratio of 1000 RBC’s to 1 WBC.

A

Centrifuge blood

40
Q

There are more RBCs in Males than Females due to _______.

A

Androgens

41
Q

RBC Structure

A
  • Bioconcave disk
  • Thin middle
  • Thick outer edge
  • Have no nucleus or mitochondria. Must use fermentation though glycolysis pathway.
42
Q

Structure of RBC gives each cell…….

A

Increased surface area so give quicker exchange of O2/CO2.

43
Q

RBC’s can be stacked like dinner plates called _______. so they can pass through narrow cessel openings.

A

Rouleux (roo- low)

44
Q

The average volume of a single RBC.

A

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
