Blood is the

function of life

blood comprised of

plasma, formed blood cells elements, erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes

Another word for thrombocytes

platelets/fragments

plasma percentage

55%

Formed blood elements percent

45%

Erythrocytes are aka

RBC

Leukocytes aka

wbc

what are platelets needed for

blood clotting

Why is plasma at the top of blood?

The most dense

ORder of blood

PLasma

WBC+PLATELETS

RBCS

communicable disease that affects red blood cells

HIV

How does HIV affect

Attacks the wbc known as the CD4

CD4

AKA Helper T cells, activates the immune system

how DL of cd4 per blood?

1200 DL

How many DL do u need to be diagnosed with aids

200 or less

Hemastasis

Blood clotting

Blood transports

O2, CO2, nutrients, waste, and hormones

blood regulates

body temperature, body PH, electrocyte levels

Blood protects against

foreign microbes and toxins

When blood vessels dilate

heat is released

When blood vessels contract

heat remains inside

Blood Cells are sitting in

plasma

RBCS have

antigens in them

in order for blood to be given, it must be

compatible

plasma is aka

non-living fluid matrix

there are more _____ than ______

rbcs, wbcs

Toxins are

waste such as poison

INtoxicated

poisoned with alcohol

Osmosis

function of blood, movement of water from high to low concentration, type of diffusion

RBCS are

anucleaic

Why are RBCS anucleic

they have a hemoglobin where oxygen is attached. therefore, there is no space for a nucleus

erythrocytes are a type of

red Blood cells

Leukocytes can be

granular or agranular

Granular leukocytes

neutrophilis, eosiphilis, basophilis

Agranular leukocytes

monocytes, lymphocytes

5

NLMEB

Never, let, monkeys, eat, bananas (most dominant to least dominant)

Neutrophilis, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosiphilis, Basophilis

Neutrophil

Lifespan is 7 hours, function is to defend immune system.

Eosiphilis

Lifespan is 8-12 days, function is to defend against parasites

Basophil

Lifespan a few hours to a few days, function is inflammatory response

B-Lymphcoyte

Memory cells, lifespan is many years, function is antibody production

T-Lymphocyte

Memory cells, lifespan possible many years, function is cellular immune response

Histamine

A chemical in the body that removes allergens out of your body/off your skin

histamine examples

made in the liver

Formation of blood cells is produces in

bone marrow

lymphocytes and monocytes are produced by

lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils,

stem cells

undifferentiated cells

Red bone marrow is located in

end of long bones, and in flat bones

red bone marrow creates

red Blood cells

Red blood cells transport

oxygen

Tonsils is included with the

immune system

Undifferentiated

there, but can become a different type of cell

oxygen which makes RBCs scarlet red

blood is ______ after oxygen

brick red

we need oxygen for

cellular respiration which we need for energy

What is RH?

A certain type of protein found on the outside of red blood cells

Hemostasis

Stoppage of bleeding resulting from a break in a blood vessel

3 phases of hemostasis

Vascular spasms, platelet plug formation, coagulation (blood clotting)

Clot

Fibrin forms long threads acting like a net

Synersis

Clot retraction

Fibrinolysis

Dissolution of blood clot

Thrombosis

Unwanted clotting

Embolous
