|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the percent of redblood cells in a nomal human? Leukocytes? |
|
Definition
| 45%, and 1%( your bodies immune system is only 1%!!) |
|
|
Term
| What do we call our erythrocyte level? |
|
Definition
| Hematocrit. Hint- Think Ery(means red) cyte(means cell) |
|
|
Term
| Will the formed elements fall below the plasma in a test tube? |
|
Definition
| Yes. Plasma is 55% and Formed elements is 45%. |
|
|
Term
| Is a erythrocyte value of 49% normal? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| If your erythrocyte level is 50%, is your blood thicker(viscosity) or thinner? |
|
Definition
| Thicker, this will raise blood pressure, slowing rate of flow. |
|
|
Term
| Describe a red blood cells characteristics. |
|
Definition
| Binocave, flexible, no nucleus, no mitochondria. |
|
|
Term
| A red blood cell, can reproduce? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A red blood cell consume oxygen? |
|
Definition
| No, only carries 4 oxygen. |
|
|
Term
| Red blood cells are made of which protein? |
|
Definition
| Hemoglobin, giving it four chains, 4 heme groups, with an iron in each center. The iron(jewel) allows the oxygen to attach to be carried. |
|
|
Term
| Is a hemoglobin (protein making red blood cells) of 9.4 anemic? |
|
Definition
| Yes. You are not getting enough oxygen transported to your tissues. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Hypoxia, showing bluish color skin. So you are not getting enough oxygen to your tissue. |
|
|
Term
| What is at the center of every heme group? |
|
Definition
| Iron (jewel) only this allows for oxygen to then attach. |
|
|
Term
| What three things must be absorbed to make a red blood cell. |
|
Definition
| Folic acid, vitamin B12, and IRON. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| DNA Synthesis. Basically telling hemoglobulin how to twist and form. |
|
|
Term
| What is the importance of Intrisic Factor. Hint this will be on your exam. |
|
Definition
| Produced in stomach juice to bind to B12 to take across stomach wall into blood. Blood then uses this to make red blood cells. |
|
|
Term
| What is the lifespan of a red blood cell? |
|
Definition
| 120 days. Know 25 trillion red blood cells totalling. |
|
|
Term
| Red blood cells first start as a hemocytoblast? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A immature red blood cell that still has organelles. (Red blood cells matured should not have any organelles). |
|
|
Term
| Does a proerythroblast (immature red blood cell) have a nuclei? |
|
Definition
| Yes, the nuclei comes from the hemocytoblast. |
|
|
Term
| Does a Normoblast (immature red blood cell) have a nuclei? |
|
Definition
| No, after proerythrocyte, they will eject the nuclei to become a (normal) erythrocyte, that has no nuclei or organelles. |
|
|
Term
| Where do red blood cells go to be degraded? |
|
Definition
| The spleen and liver after 120 day lifespan. |
|
|
Term
| How does a phagoctye degrade a old red blood cell. |
|
Definition
| They will remove hemeglobulin( protein of amino acids) and splie heme(red portion). Without iron it is now Biliverden(verden-green). Iron is restored in marrow. Biliverden(green) goes to bilirubin(orange) to then go to Bile. |
|
|
Term
| What is the old red blood cells Biliverdin and Bilirubin called in the Small Intestine. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A high amount of red blood cells, above 45%, meaning sluggish hard blood. However, lots of oxygen transport to tissues. |
|
|
Term
| Platelets are cell fragments from hemocytoblasts that became megakaryocytes? |
|
Definition
| True. All cells in general will start from a Hemoblast. (Hint) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True, they release serotonin, constricting the vessel to promote less bleeding. |

| Plasma (whole blood minus cells) mind clotting proteins. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Falso, has no clotting proteins. |
|
|
Term
| What is the most abundant ion in blood? |
|
Definition
| Na. Generally know whats in blood, do not need to know details. |
|
|
Term
| What is the largest protein found in blood? what does it do? |
|
Definition
| Albmins , it maintains blood pressure. By increasing concentration in blood more water is being drawn in from the kidneys. |
|
|
Term
| What are gamma globulins? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Transport fat made in liver to fat tissue. Hint high levels are ok to have. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Deliever cholestrol to cells. Hint, high levels are very hard on the heart, and bad to have. |
