Blood + Hemostasis
True or False: Plasma makes up about 55% of blood volume and more than 90% of plasma is water and it is a pale/ straw-yellow color.
True
This is the most abundant type of white blood cell. Acts at a fast-acting defenders against bacterial infection.
Neutrophil
What percentage of formed elements do red blood cells consist of?
99%
What blood type would be considered the universal donor?
A person who has cancer of the white blood cells, with a very high white blood cell count would exhibit this disease.
Leukemia
Blood clotting is a classic example of ___________ feedback because the initial cut triggers a cascade that amplifies the response.
Positive
True or False: Unlike red blood cells that lack a nucleus and organelles, white blood cells have a nucleus and other organelles, but they lack hemoglobin.
True
What is an iron-rich protein that is located within red blood cells that is vital for transporting Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide?
Hemoglobin
Group AB blood would have what type of antigens on the red blood cell?
A and B Antigens
A rare bleeding disorder that impairs the body’s ability to create blood clots, causing prolonged bleeding due to low levels of clotting proteins and factors.
Hemophilia
The three formed elements of blood are
Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells)
Leukocytes (White Blood Cells)
Platelets
What white blood cell aids in the body's defense system including T cells, B cells and natural killer cells that drive the adaptative and innate immune responses?
Lymphocytes
In healthy adults what is the average lifespan of red blood cells?
120 Days
If the Rh factor present, then the blood type would be?
Positive
This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the stomach cells that produce the intrinsic factor for B12 this leads to severe B12 deficiency and anemia.
Pernicious Anemia
This is one of the four main types of plasma proteins; this protein is essential in the blood clotting process.
Fibrinogens
In a parasitic reaction, the primary white blood cell you would see in elevated numbers is?
Eosinophil
In embryos, red blood cell production changes location based on hold old the fetus is. Where does red blood cell production occur in adults?
Red Bone Marrow (Myeloid Tissue)
Group O blood would have what type of antibodies in the plasma?
Anti A and Anti B Antibodies
Within the hemoglobin recycling process Iron is removed from each heme unit forming biliverdin. Biliverdin is then converted into bilirubin. This condition is caused by excess buildup of bilirubin.
Jaundice
What are the three phases of Hemostasis (in order).
Vascular Phase
Platelet Phase
Coagulation Phase
List the white blood cells in order of abundance.
Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils
This hormone is produced and secreted by the kidneys and liver when oxygen is low in peripheral tissues.
Erythropoietin (EPO)
If your patient is type A- blood and accidentally receives types A+ blood, this would occur as the patient’s immune system would attack the donor red blood cells due to incompatibility.
Cross Reaction
One of the most common inherited bleeding disorders, symptoms include frequent bruises, nose bleeds, excessive bleeding after dental work and heavy or irregular menstrual period.
