ANAT 200 Midterm 2 study Guide
1. Properties of blood: 1) composed of blood cells and plasma
2) pH 7.35-7.45
3) 38°C
2. Functions of blood: 1) distribute nutrients, oxygen, and hormones
2) carry metabolic waste to kidney for excretion
3) transport specialized cells to protect against infection and disease
3. normovolemic, hypovolemic, hypervolemic: normal, low, high blood volume
4. Erythrocytes: red blood cells: makes up 99% of blood cells and carries O2 and CO2
5. Leukocytes: white blood cells: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes
6. Neutrophils: white blood cells that destroy bacteria
7. eosinophils: white blood cells with anti-inflammatory and allergic responses
8. basophils: white blood cells with an inflammatory response
9. monocytes: white blood cells that become macrophages
10.lymphocytes: white blood cells that make antibodies to fight off infections
11.platelets: component that creates the clotting reaction of blood
12.properties of red blood cells: 1) biconcave disc-shaped cells
2) plasma membrane surrounds cytoplasm containing 2/3 water and 1/3 proteins
3) intracellular structures are ejected during development
13.properties of platelets: 1) formed in red bone marrow
2) enzyme packets that pinch off of the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes
14.Structure of blood vessels: 1. tunica interna
2. tunica media
3. tunica externa
15.structure of tunica interna: a thin layer of connective tissue and simple squa- mous epithelium lining the inside of
the blood vessel
16.structure of the tunica media: thickest layer (especially in arteries) comprised of elastic fibres and smooth muscle
17.structure of tunica externa: connective tissue that attaches the vessel to surrounding connective tissue
18.Blood flow: Heart> elastic artery > muscular artery > arteriole > continuous capillary > FENESTRATED
CAPILLARY > VENULE > MEDIUM-SIZED VEIN > LARGE VEIN > HEART
19.elastic/conducting arteries: Largest, most elastic arteries. Contain most elas- tic tissue to stretch and recoil in
order to even out pressure surges
20.Muscular/distributing arteries: medium-sized arteries with the ability to vaso- constrict and vasodilate to control
