Blood Typing
This marker on a red blood cell's surface determines the blood type.
What are antigens?
This makes up 55% of the blood's composition and is mostly water and considered the liquid portion of the blood.
What is plasma?
The physiological range for blood pH.
What is 7.35-7.45 pH?
Only 25% of the available oxygen is released to these tissues.
What are resting tissues?
This is the location in which erythropoiesis occurs.
What is the red bone marrow?
The type of blood transfusion in which O+ is the universal donor.
What is erythrocyte only transfusion?
This method was used to treat covid-19 patients by transfusing plasma into their blood that had already built up the antibodies against covid.
What is Convalescent Plasma?
This is the site of bonding on hemoglobin for carbon dioxide.
What are the globins/polypeptide chains?
This is the location in which the % oxygen saturation of hemoglobin and the partial pressure of oxygen are the highest.
What are the alveoli?
This component of hemoglobin ultimately gets catabolized and expelled in the feces.
What is Heme?
This would occur in a patient with AB blood if they were given anti-a and anti-b antibodies.
What is agglutination?
Regulated by plasma to prevent water leaking into capillaries and causing edema.
What is osmotic pressure?
This is the form in which 23% of carbon dioxide travels through the blood as.
What is Carboxyhemoglobin?
This decreases exponentially as the partial pressure of oxygen decreases.
What is Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?
These are released from the spleen and the liver to break down aged erythrocytes.
What are Macrophages?
The cell marker that causes Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn when it differs between mom and baby.
What is Rh factor?
This quality of the plasma prevents body temperature from having drastic fluctuations.
What is High Specific Heat Capacity?
This is abundant in RBCs because it is necessary for producing bicarbonate from carbon dioxide.
What is Carbonic Anhydrase?
This is favored when the body undergoes intense exercise and oxygen is dropped off in systemic tissues.
What is carbon dioxide loading?
This is the hormone that gets released from the kidney when erythropoiesis needs to be stimulated.
What is Erythropoietin?
The blood type of a person who shows agglutination when exposed to anti-B and anti-D antibodies.
What is B+?
This functions as a clotting factor which is found in the plasma, but not in the serum.
What is fibrinogen?
Type of regulation that occurs when H+ ions from carbonic anhydrase reaction gets too high or too low.
What is pH regulation?
This occurs in the hemoglobin-oxygen disassociation curve when carbon dioxide decreases and pH increases.
What is the Haldane Effect?
This is the protein that transports iron from the liver to the bone marrow for erythrocyte production.
What is Transferrin?
