1. characteristics of blood: ph of blood is 7.35-7.45 and viscosity (thickness)
2. type of blood cells: platelets=thrombocytes
3. thrombocytes: help with clotting and coagulate blood
4. hemopoiesis definition: the process of blood cell formation
5. hemopoiesis fact: produce 3 different types of blood cells
RBC, WBC, Platelets
6. hematocrit: percentage of blood cells in a blood sample.
7. RBC production: EPO that stimulates the bone marrow to produce additional
RBC'S
8. neutropenia: patient would be at risk for an infection because neutrophils (granulocytes) help protect the body.
9. basophils (wbc): inflamatory response; release of HEPARIN= anticoagulant 0-1% of WBC count.
10. patient with coagulation problems: would have altered results of basophils because heparin is an anticoagulant.
11. platelets: produced in red bone marrow; prevent blood loss-coagulate blood 12. thrombocytopenia: failure of the
bone marrow to replace platelets.
13. petechiae: pinpoint round spots that appear on the skin as a reult of bleeding from broken capillaries.
(thrombocytopenia)
14. plasmin: an important enzyme present in blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins, including FIBRIN clots.
15. fibrinolysis: process to dissolve clots.
16. TPA: tissue plasminogen activator. (therapeutic agents=alteplase, reteplase, streptokinase, tenecteplase, urokinase)
17. antigen: substance that the body recognizes as foreign; as a foreign substance, an antigen stimulates an antigen antibody
response.
18. antigen-antibody interaction: designed to attack and destroy the antigen (agglutination)
19. blood types: blood is clasified according to specific antigens on the surface of the RBC
20. agglutination: the clumping of the antigen-antibody interaction
21. right heart: recieves UNOXYGENATED blood from the superior and inferior venae cava (large veins that collect blood from
all parts of the body: pulmonary circulation)
22. pulmonary circulation: the path that the blood follows from the RIGHT side of the heart to and through the lungs and
back to the left side of the heart.
23. 4 heart chambers: 2 atria (upper chambers) recieves the blood into the heart
2 ventricles (lower chambers) pumps blood out of the heart
