Questions With Complete Solutions
Agglutinogens Correct Answers antigens of surface of RBC's,
secreted by immune system. Antibodies (agglutinins) attack and
agglutinate foreign antigens.
albumins Correct Answers composes 60% of plasma protein,
transports atty acids, thyroid hormones, and steroid hormones,
contributes osmotic pressure.
amoeboid movement Correct Answers gliding movement of
WBC through flow of cytolasm.
Anemia Correct Answers low RBC count, Hb content reduced,
carry less oxygen, all tissues affected, patient feel weak,
lethargic, confused.
Antigens Correct Answers any substance that triggers an
immune response
Arterial puncture Correct Answers "arterial stick" used to check
efficiency of gas exchange at lungs
B cells Correct Answers responsible for humoral immunity,
specific defense mechanism that involves production of
antibodies (about 1000 per second) that kill bacteria.
Differentiate into plasma cells
,Basophils Correct Answers <1% of WBC's, small and rare,
accumulate in damaged tissue, release histamine to dilate blood
vessels, release heparin to prevent blood clots.
bilirubin Correct Answers orange-yellow compound formed
from the breakdown of biliverdin
biliverdin Correct Answers green organic compound formed
when globular proteins are broken apart into amino acids
Blood Correct Answers fluid connective tissue. normal
temperature 100.4°F which is higher than normal body
temperature. 5x more viscous than water, pH between 7.35 and
7.45)
Blood typing Correct Answers Blood types are genetically
determined by presence or absence of RBC surface antigens A,
B, Rh (or D)
blood volume Correct Answers 7% of body weight. Adults
males have 5-6 liters and adult females have 4-5 liters.
Ca2+, vitamin K Correct Answers both esssential for blood
clotting. Vitamin K essential for the liver to produce clotting
factors, manufactured by bacteria in the large intestine or
obtained from diet.
carbaminohemoglobin Correct Answers formed when oxygen
levels are low and carbon dioxide binds to Hb molecules.
Capillaries in the lung have high oxygen and low carbon dioxide
levels.
, Cascade reactions Correct Answers sequence of reactions
consisting of Chain reactions of enzymes and proenzymes,
convert circulating fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. Requires
Require clotting Factors (procoagulants) and form 3 pathways
(extrinistic, intrinistic and common)
Circulating transport system consists of... Correct Answers 1.
Pump (the heart)
2. Conducting system (blood vessels)
3. Fluid medium (blood)
Clot retraction Correct Answers pulls torn edges of damaged
vessel together to reduce bleeding and the damage area. Makes
it easier for fibrocytes, smooth muscle and endothelial cells to
repair the wound.
Coagulation Phase Correct Answers Begins 30 seconds or more
after the injury
Common pathway Correct Answers Where intrinsic and
extrinsic pathways converge and activate Factor X forming
prothrombinase, which converts prothrombin into thrombin.
Thrombin completed the process by converting fibrinogen into
fibrin. Positive feedback occurs. Thrombin stimulates both TF &
PF-3, activating both extrinsic & intrinsic pathways.
Cross Reaction Correct Answers clumps of RBC's formed when
the antibody is reacting resulting in hemolysis. In transfusions, it
happens when the donated blood is not compatible with
recipient.
