ANAT 1053 NEWEST ACTUAL 2025/2026 FINAL EXAM
WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.VERIFED/GRADED A+
Composition of Blood - (ANSWER)Blood plasma, erythrocytes, leukocytes,
platelets
Blood Plasma - (ANSWER)Albumin - osmotic balance, pH buffering
Fibrinogen - clotting of the blood
Globulins
Defense (antibodies) and lipid transport
Erythrocytes - (ANSWER)Transport oxygen and help transport carbon dioxide
Leukocytes - (ANSWER)Defense and immunity
Lymphocyte, eosinophil, neutrophil, basophil, monocyte
Platelets (thrombocytes) - (ANSWER)Blood clotting
Hematopoiesis - (ANSWER)Blood cell formation, occurs in red bone marrow,
found in axial skeleton
Each type of blood cell is produced in different numbers in response to changing
body needs and different stimuli. After they mature, they are discharged into the
blood vessels surrounding the area
, 2
Erythropoiesis - (ANSWER)Process that produces red blood cells, it is stimulated
by decreased O2 in circulation, which is detected by the kidneys, which then
secrete the hormone erythropoietin
Reticulocyte - (ANSWER)Result of lost blood cells
Young RBC, still contains some ER, enter blood stream to begin their task of
transporting oxygen. Within 2 days of release they have ejected the remaining ER
and have become fully functioning erythrocytes
Viscosity - (ANSWER)Resistance to the flow; formed elements tend to stick
together making it more difficult to glow than water
Whole blood is 4.5-5.5 times more difficult to flow than water
Osmolarity - (ANSWER)A measure of the concentration of solute (protein, urea,
RBC, electrolyte and glucose) in the plasma
Osmotic Pressure - (ANSWER)The tendency of a solution to hold water into it
The more solute concentration, the greater the osmotic pressure which means
more water will move in
Eg. low albumin means water will leak out of the blood
Hemoglobin - (ANSWER)Iron bearing protein, transports most of the oxygen that
is carried in the blood
It also binds with a small amount of carbon dioxide
