What is true about the breakdown of red blood cells? - ✔️✔️>> Iron is carried through
the plasma by transferrin
>> Bilirubin is excreted in the urine
>> Bilirubin is excreted in the bile
>> Iron is carried through the plasma by transferrin
Adult hemoglobin is composed of what components? - ✔️✔️>> four heme groups
>> two beta subunits
>> two alpha subunits
Infant hemoglobin is composed of what components? - ✔️✔️>> four heme groups
>> two alpha subunits
>> two gamma subunits
What is hemoglobinuria characterized by? - ✔️✔️Large amounts of hemoglobin being
expected in the urine
What kinds of cells are agranulocytes? - ✔️✔️>> Lymphocytes
>> Monocytes
The most abundant leukocytes are ________ & the least abundant are ________ -
✔️✔️Neutrophil & Basophil
What is true about hemolytic disease? - ✔️✔️>> It is caused by anti-D antibodies
crossing the placenta
>> occurs in a woman with AB- blood
>> Red blood cells in the fetus are being attacked by IgG antibodies from the mother
What is true about myeloid stem cells? - ✔️✔️>> stimulation by EPO causes them to
differentiate into proerythroblasts
,>> they have ribosomes
>> they have a nucleus
Where does Erythropoietin come from? - ✔️✔️The kidney, to increase RBC production
In the process of hemostasis, what is Factor-X function? - ✔️✔️Activates a sequence
of enzymatic reactions that produce the coagulation phase of hemostasis
In the process of hemostasis, what is Tissue Factor's function? - ✔️✔️Serves as the
entry point to the extrinsic pathway
In the process of hemostasis, what is the function of Thrombin? - ✔️✔️Converts
Fibrinogen to Fibrin
In the process of hemostasis, what is the function of Collagen? - ✔️✔️Serves as the
starting point of the intrinsic pathway- activates inactive clotting factors when blood
leaks from the blood vessel
What is hemostasis? - ✔️✔️The process of stopping blood loss
What are the phases of hemostasis? - ✔️✔️1. Vascular spasm
2. Platelet phase
3. Coagulation
How is Thrombin formed? - ✔️✔️Either by the extrinsic or intrinsic pathways
How is the extrinsic pathway initiated? - ✔️✔️Via tissue factors that come from
damaged endothelial cells and then goes to the common pathway to form thrombin
How is the intrinsic pathway initiated? - ✔️✔️Via collagen that activated clotting factors
when blood leaks from blood vessels and then goes to common pathway to form
thrombin
What happens in the vascular spasm phase of hemostasis? - ✔️✔️Damaged blood
vessel constricts to minimize blood flow and releases a damage signal
What happens in the platelet phase of hemostasis? - ✔️✔️>> Platelet become
activated
>> Platelet become sticky via adhesion
>> Platelet sends out signals to attract more platelets (aggregation)
>> Platelet forms plug to stop the bleeding
>> Platelet assists in clot formation by being activated by ADP & Thromboxane
, What happens in the coagulation phase of hemostasis? - ✔️✔️Fibrin is formed from
fibrinogen via the thrombin enzyme that is sent from the platelets
Which antibodies would normally be present in a man with type O negative blood? -
✔️✔️Anti-A antibodies
Anti-B antibodies
What is true about platelets? - ✔️✔️>> they are cell fragments found in higher
abundance than Leukocytes
>> they are normally found in the blood, and some of their clotting factors may become
activated upon exposure to a connective tissue protein
>> they are activated by ADP and Thromboxane
What are the functions of the papillary muscles? - ✔️✔️>> hold the AV valves closed
during ventricular systole
>> prevent back flow of blood into the atria
What would be observed on an EKG during the early stages of a myocardial infarction?
- ✔️✔️Hyper acute T waves
What is the HCN channel function in cardiac muscle when the channel is open? -
✔️✔️Opens at hyper polarized membrane potentials (pacemaker pre potential)
What is the T-Type Calcium channel function in cardiac muscle when the channel is
open? - ✔️✔️The first calcium channel to open in pacemaker cells
What is the L-Type Calcium channel function in cardiac muscle when the channel is
open? - ✔️✔️Responsible for the plateau phase of action potential in contractile cells
What is the Voltage Gated Sodium channel function in cardiac muscle when the
channel is open? - ✔️✔️Responsible for the "rising" phase of action potentials in
contractile myocytes
What is the order of blood flow starting with the Left Atrium? - ✔️✔️1. Bicuspid valve
2. Left ventricle
3. Aortic semilunar valve
4. Systemic capillaries
5. Inferior vena cava
6. Tricuspid valve
7. Pulmonary artery
8. Pulmonary vein
