Blood

5 Liters

How much blood does the average adult human have in their body?

bloodstream

a hormone is a messenger that travels via the:

kwashiorkor

distended belly due to not enough protein in diet

red bone marrow

erythropoietin travels through the body to its target, which is the:

Transport, protects against infection, clotting, distributes heat

functions of blood

5 micrometers

how big is a red blood cell?

1000

how many micrometers in one milimeter?

40%

how much of the blood is Hematocrit?

90%

how much of the plasma is made of water?

colloid osmotic pressure

makes fluid want to go into blood vessels

blood hydrostatic pressure

makes fluid want to move back into interstitial space

albumen

one of the most common proteins found in blood. it's f-wording tiny, plays an important role in osmotic balance.

fibrinogens

proteins in charge of clotting

globulins

proteins in charge of making antibodies and transport

kidneys, liver

receptors that sense how oxygen levels are located in the:

Plasma, buffy coat, packed RBC/Hematocrit

the components of blood (what does it spin out to?)

erythropoietin

the hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells

erythropoietin

the kidney and liver release this hormone when they sense low oxygen:

interstitial space

the space between cells (think tissue, but for all i f-wording know, it could be any cells-note to self:look that up later)

white blood cells

this type of blood cells have a nucleus

red blood cells

this type of blood cells have no nucleus

negative

this type of feedback loop is caused when RBC production picks up so that your body can carry enough oxygen to get you back to homeostasis

hematopoetic

this type of stem cells can become more RBC

albumin, globulins, fibrinogens

what are the 3 important types of proteins in plasma?

proteins

what do plasma banks pay you for in your plasma?

platelets and WBC

what is the buffy layer made of?

simple squamous epithelium

what type of epithelium lines the blood vessels?

eggs

what was the example Alex gave of where you find albumin besides the human body?

h2o, proteins, electrolytes, glucose, amino acids, dna, cholesterol

what were ALL of the components of the plasma that we talked about in class? (includes the money parts and the cheap parts)
