What is the normal pH range of blood

this means thickness or resistance to flow

is the liquid part of blood and is approximately 91% of water

What is the most abundant plasma proteins

is a plasma protein that are antibodies produced by lymphocytes

Blood cells are produced from stem cells in what tissue

After birth the hempoietic tissue is primarily what found in flat and irregular bones

what is another way to measure the amount of RBC that invovles drawing blood into a thin glass tube called a capillary tube and centrifuging the tube to force all the cells to one end

Red blood cells contain what protein that gives them the ability to carry oxygen

what are the precusor cells that are within red bone marrow

the stem cells of the red bone marrow may also be called

lack of oxygen

hormone produced by the kidney that stimulates the red bone marrow to increase the rate of RBC production

this is the last stage with a nucleus, which then disintegrates

what is another name for Vitamin B12

a chemical that combines with the Vitamin B12 in food to prevent is digestion and promote its absorption in the small intestine and is produced in the parietal cells of the stomach

A deficiency of either viatmin B12 or the intrinsic factor results in

what is the live span of RBC

what system removes the damaged cells from the circulation of cells

The heme is convert to what by macrophages

first clump of RBC

RBC rupture

What is a normal WBC count

what are the 5 types of WBC

the granular leukocytes are

the agranular leukocytes are

which leukocytes are capable of the phagocytosis of pathogens

During an infection, neutorphils are produced more rapidly and the immature forms are called

phagocytized dead or damaged tissue at the site of any injury, helpin to make tissue repair possible is

is an anticoagulant that helps prevent abnormal clotting within blood vessels

part of inflammation process, and it makes capillaries more permeable allowing tissue fluid, protein, and WBC to accumulate in the damaged area

what are the two major lymphocytes

this cell helps recognize foreign antigens and may directly destory some foreign  antigens

this cell becomes plasma cells that produce antibodies to foreign antigens

what cells destroy foreign cells by chemically rupturing their membranes

A high WBC count is called

A low WBC count is called

what is the formal name for platelets which are not whole cells but rather framents or pieces of cells

large cells which break up into small pieces thatenter circulation

a hormone produced by the liver that increases the rate of platelet production

low platelet count

prevention of blood loss

zipper-like glycoproteins that tend to come apart.

when a large vessel such as an artery or vein is severed, the smooth muscle in its wall contracts in response to the damage.

the clot itself is made of a thread-like protein

Once the clot has formed and bleeding has stopped what occurs

The liver produces a globulin that combines with an inactivates excess thrombin

clotting in an intact vessel; the clot itself is called

a clot or other tissue transported from elsewhere that lodges in and obstructs avessel is called

what is the general function of blood

Plasma transports

Plasma proteins are synthesized by what organ

what protein is synthesized by liver and provides colloid osmotic pressure that pulls tissue fluid into capillaries to maintain normal blood volume and blood pressure

what protein is synthesized bny the liver and are carriers for fats and other substances in the blood

these are antibodies produced by lymphocytes

what are the 3 formed elements

After birth what is the primary hemopoietic tissue

after birth the hemopoietic tissue, red bone marrow contains what type of cell

Lymphocytes mature and divide in to what

Biconcave discs with no nuclei when mature

RBC carry what type of gas and are bonded to what

where are RBC formed in

what stimulates the kidneys to produce the hormone erythopoietin, which increases the rate of RBC produciton in the RBM

Immature RBCs

large numbers in peripheral circulation indicate a need for more RBCs to do what

What is the extrinsic factor needed for DNA synthesis (mitosis) in stem cells in the RBM

The intrinsic factor is produced by

Larger than RBC and have nuclei when mature

which WBC phagocytize pathogens

monocytes become

which WBC detoxify foreign proteins during allergeic reactions and parasitic infections

which WBC phagoctyize anything labeled with antibodies

which WBC contain the anticoagulant heparin and histamine, which contributes to inflammation

what are the 3 lymphocytes

which cell recognize foreign antigens and destroy them

which cell become plasma cells which produce antibodies to foreign antigens

whic cell destroy foreign cell membranes

this is formed in the RBM and are fragments of megakaryocytes

which hormone from the liver increases platelet production

what does platelets help maintain

platelets also help prevent
