Term
| Proteins and their function |
|
Definition
Albumin: Blood volume, therefore pressure, balances where fluids are in body, made in liver, circulates in plasma
Globulins: Immunoglobulins/antibodies and 2)HDL/LDL proteins which shuttle cholesterol
Fibrinogen: clotting role |

|
Definition
most abundent
packed full of hemoglobin
shuttle O2, Co2 and CO |
|
|
Term
| what determines blood type |
|
Definition
Proteins on RBC's
Antigen and Antibody
A= A ANTIGEN ANTI B ANTIBODY
B= B ANTIGEN ANTI A ANTIBODY
AB= NO ANTIBODY

Term
|
Definition
genetic
dumps O2 then cells become sickled, RBCS survive 10-20 days vs 120 |

Definition
cholesterol is bad
carries cholesterol from liver to deposit in cells, may accumulate in blood vessels and obstruct |
|

for defense
Granulocytes
agranulocytes |
|
|
Term
| granulocytes components and their function |
|
Definition
have nuclei
neurtophils packedw with lysosomes, phagocytosize tissue thats been damaged etc masses of dead bacteria and neutrophils = pus
basophils: heparin and histamine, inhibit clotting and make blood vessel leaky around cut (mast cell)
eosinophils: Lysosomal enzymes respond to parasitic infections |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
monocytes: enter connective tissues to become macrophages which phagocytose anything
lymphocytes: immune system B cells: react to specific antigen, BACTERIA.
T cells respond to viral infections. |

Term
| 3 major steps of hemostasis and control of bleeding |
|
Definition
1-platelets clump at site of injury
2-vasoconstriction
3-clotting- substances released from the platelets, fibrinogen sticks. |
