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)
