blood components
that blood cells help blood to clot and maintiain normal body temperature. Not the complete form of a cell (broken cells).
Platelets
Leukocytes is the term given to what type of cell?
White blood cell
What is the difference between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from heart.
Veins carry carbon dioxide filled blood toward heart
What is a homeostatic imbalance
any factor that causes the state of homeostasis in the body to no longer be in normal range, resulting in a diseases in the body.
What is the process of hematopoiesis?
the process of blood formation
matter of the blood the oxygen-carrying pigment in the blood and iron-containing protein in red blood cells.
Hemoglobin
What are the first leukocytes to arrive on the scene of an infection
Neutrophils
What is the the biggest artery in the human body
Aorta
What is an example of a cardiovascular system homeostatic imbalance?
variety of answers....
-cardiovascular disease
-pulmonary embolysim
-heart attack
Agglutination is the clumping of particles in the blood.
List the components of the blood
plasma
platelets
white blood cells
red blood cells
Billy has a severe allergic reaction due to what type of leukocyte?
What is the biggest vein in the body?
inferior vena cava
Compare and contrast a thrombosis and the embolus.
Thrombosis happens when a thrombus, or blood clot, forms in a blood vessel. As a result, blood flow through the vessel is reduced. With an embolism, a piece of a blood clot (embolus), foreign object, or other bodily substance becomes lodged in a blood vessel.
if you have type A blood. what antigens will you have and what antibody will you have?
A antigens
B Antibodies
List four functions of the blood
- remove waste
- supply nourishment
- distribute heat and oxygen
- protect the body from harmful bacteria
- to form clots to close injured blood vessels
- to help maintain & control body temperature
These two blood types have the lowest count in white blood cells.
Esoniphils, and basophils
What do we call the place where all the exchange of blood occurs?
capillary beds
Describe hemophilia and why it is so dangerous.
Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors). If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your blood clotted normally.
What type of blood is the universal donor?
The universal acceptor?
How do you know?
Donnor: O negative
Acceptor: AB negative
Compare and contrast red blood cells and white blood cells
variety of answers apply
List all of the white blood cells and their functions....
Monocytes. They have a longer lifespan than many white blood cells and help to break down bacteria.
Lymphocytes. They create antibodies to defend against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders.
Neutrophils. They kill and digest bacteria and fungi. They are the most numerous type of white blood cell and your first line of defense when infection strikes.
Basophils. These small cells appear to sound an alarm when infectious agents invade your blood. They secrete chemicals such as histamine, a marker of allergic disease, that help control the body's immune response.
Eosinophils. They attack and kill parasites, destroy cancer cells, and help with allergic responses.
compare and contrast the function of the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve.
The mitral valve is a valve that lets blood flow from one chamber of the heart, the left atrium, to another called the left ventricle
The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The function of the valve is to prevent back flow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium.
Explain in detail Leukemia and its effect on the body, particularly the blood.
Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. Leukemia begins in a cell in the bone marrow. The cell undergoes a change and becomes a type of leukemia cell. Once the marrow cell undergoes a leukemic change, the leukemiacells may grow and survive better than normal cells.
Why is Rh dangerous for moms and babies during pregnancy?
In most cases, your blood will not mix with your baby's blood until delivery. It takes a while to make antibodies that can affect the baby, so during your first pregnancy, the baby probably would not be affected.
But if you get pregnant again with an Rh-positive baby, the antibodies already in your blood could attack the baby's red blood cells. This can cause the baby to have anemia, jaundice, or more serious problems. This is called Rh disease.
