CMA Anatomy and physiology part 2
Blood - Answer a type of connective tissue that contains cellular and liquid components.
The blood volume of the adult human is about 5 liters and accounts for 8% of body
weight. About 55% of blood is plasma, and 45 % is formed elements.
Arterial blood - Answer Highley oxygenated , bright red blood that travels from the heart
to the capillaries and carries nutrients into the cells
Venous blood - Answer Dark red, carbon dioxide rich blood that travels from the
capillaries to the heart and carries waste away from the cells
Forme Elements - Answer An erythocyte , a leukocyte or a thrombocyte
Hemocytoblast - Answer the stem cell from which all formed elements of the blood
develop . It is found in the bone marrow and in lymphatic tissue.
Plasma - Answer The liquid portion if blood, made up of 90% water and 10% solutes
ALbumin - Answer The moist abundant plasma protein , essential for maintaining the
osmotic pressure .
Globulin - Answer One of a number of simple plasma proteins which are classified in
three groups alpha, beta, and gamma.
Fibrinogin - Answer the smalls fraction of plasma protein which functions to form blood
clots
Erythropoietin - Answer a glycoprotein hormone released from the kidney that regulates
the formation of red blood cells.
Prothrombin - Answer a plasma protein that leads to the formation of blood clots
THROMBUS - Answer a blood clot that remains at its formation site in a blood vessel
Embolus - Answer A piece of thrombus or fragment of a clot that moves in a blood
vessel
Hemoglobin - Answer a complex protein iron compound in the blood that carries oxygen
to the cells from the lungs and carbon dioxide away from the cells to the lungs.
HEMOGLOBIN is found in red blood cells
Hemostasis - Answer the stoppage of bleeding
, Hematocrit - Answer a measure of the packed cell volume of RBSs expressed as a
percentage of the total blood volume.
Agglutinin - Answer An antibody in plasma
Agglutination - Answer the clumping of RBCs
Agglutinogen - Answer a genetically determined antigen on the cell membrane of an
RBC that determines blood types .
Type A blood - Answer blood that has the A antigen on the surface of RBCs and
antibodies
Type B blood - Answer blood that has the B antigen on the surface of RBCs and and
antiA antibodies in plasma
Type O blood - Answer blood that has neither A nor B antigens on the surface of RBCs
and has both anti A and antiB antibodies in plasma. Type O is reffered to as the
universal donor blood group
Type AB blood - Answer has both A and B antigens on the surfacee of RBCs and has
neither anti A not ANti B antibodies in plasma . Type AB is reffered to as the universal
recipient blood group
Universal donor - Answer a person with blood type O , RH-.
Universal recipent - Answer A person with blood type AB , RH +
Erythrocyte or red blood cells RBCs - Answer a type of blood cell that has no nucleus
and usually sources for 120 days, after which it is destroyed by the liver and the spleen.
RBCs contain hemoglobin , which contains iron and carries oxygen from the lungs to
the body and carries carbon dioxide from the body to the tissues to the lungs
Anisocytosis - Answer A condition in which these is excessive inequality in the size of
blood cells
Poikilocytosis - Answer Variation in the shape of RBCs ( sickle cells, spherocytes ,
elliptocytes , etc )
Granulocyte or granular leukocyte : - Answer A leukocyte that has large granules in its
cytoplasm , which stain in different colors under a microscope. Granular leukocytes
include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils.
Basophil - Answer A granulocyte that mediates allergic reactions. In the tissues, a
basophil is called a mast cell. These cells produce heparin and histamine.
