Study Guide Exam 1
| 2023 QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS
, arteries - CORRECTANSWERS---transport blood away from heart
veins - CORRECTANSWERS---transport blood to the heart
capillaries - CORRECTANSWERS---microcirculation within tissue
systemic circulation - CORRECTANSWERS---exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes
in tissues
pulmonary circulation - CORRECTANSWERS---gas exchange in the lungs
function of plasma proteins - CORRECTANSWERS---osmotic pressure, antibody, and
blood clots
erythrocytes - CORRECTANSWERS---contain hemoglobin, life span of about 20 days
erythropoietin - CORRECTANSWERS---produced in the kidney, stimulates erythrocyte
production
3 steps of blood clotting (hemostasis) - CORRECTANSWERS---1. vasoconstriction of
vascular spasm after injury 2. platelet clot 3. coagulation mechanism
Rh+ - CORRECTANSWERS---antigen D in plasma membrane
Rh- - CORRECTANSWERS---absence of antigen D
anemia - CORRECTANSWERS---causes a reduction in oxygen transport, basic
problem is hemoglobin deficit
oxygen deficit leads to - CORRECTANSWERS---less energy production in all cells,
tachycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction-compensation mechanisms
