1. what are the ma- Plasma and formed elements
jor components
of the blood?
2. What are the Erythrocytes, red bood cells
formed ele- Leukocytes, white blood cells
ments? Platelets, for clotting
3. What are the 1) Distribution: blood transports oxygen fro mteh lungs and nutrients fro mthe
three basic func- digestive tract, metabolic wastes from cells to the lungs and kidneys for elimination,
tions of blood and hormones from endocrine glands to target organs.
and an explana- 2) Regulation: Blood maintains appropriate body temperature by absorbing and
tion of each? distributing heat, normal pH in body tissues using buffer systems, and adequate
fluid volume in the circulatory system.
3) Protection:L Blood protects against blood loss by activating plasma proteins
and platelets, initiating clot formation when a vessel is broken and prevents
infection by synthesizing and utilizing antibodies, activating complement proteins,
and activating WBC's to defend the body against foreign invaders.
4. What are the five 1) proteins
general compo- 2) nonprotein nitrogenous substances
nents of blood 3) organic nutrients
plasma? 4) electrolytes
5) respiratory gases
5. What is the pH of 7.35-7.45
blood?
6. What are erythro- Erythrocytes are red blood cells. They are biconcave discs, anucleate and have
cytes and how essentially no organelles. They are filled with hemoglobion, a protein that functins
do their struc- in gas transport. Gas transport is assisted by the biconcave shape: huge surface
tural characteris- area relative to volume and discounting water content - they are more than 97%

tics contribute to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin reversibly binds with oxygen and most oxygen in the
their function? blood is bound to hemoglobin.
7. What is the func- Respiratory gas transport via hemoglobin.
tion of erythro-
cytes?
8. What is hemoglo- the protein globin, which is made up of two alpha and two beta chains, each bound
bin made of and to a heme group. Each heme group bears an atom of iron. Each atom of iron can
what can it trans- bind to one oxygen molecule, therefore each hemoglobin molecule can transport
port? four molecules of oxygen.
9. What are the dif- 1) Oxyhemoglobin: hemoglobin bound to oxygen. Oxygen loading takes place in
ferent types of the lungs.
hemoglobin and 2) Deoxyhemoglobin: hemoglobin after oxygen diffuses into tissues (reduced Hb)
how are they dif- 3) Carbaminohemoglobin: hemoglobin bound to carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide
ferent? loading takes place in the tissues.
10. Too much carbon Alkalosis - alkaline environment
dioxide in the
body is called?
11. Carbonic acid in Acidocis - acid environment
the blood is
called?
12. HCO3 is a? weak base which works as a buffer to control acid in the blood
13. What is the white buffy coat. It is the white blood cell layer
layer in the hem-
ocrit called?
14. What is Blood cell formation. Occurs in the red blood marrow - in the tip of the femur and
hematopoiesis top of the humorus.
