NS 119 MIDTERM2 EXAM QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS VERIFIED 100% CORRECT
mesenchymal stem cells

differentiates into osteoclasts, fibroblasts

Hematapoietic stem cells

differentiates into RBCs

erythropoietin

hormones that increases RBC production; drug usually used on chemo pts

erythropoiesis

production of red blood cells that increases with hypoxic conditions; hemoglobin
increases and nucleus decreases with each step; has nutritional requirements of protein,
iron, copper, vitamins

hemoglobin

2a, 2b polypeptide chains with 4 heme, each containing a Fe and carries an O2

total body iron

bounded to heme or ferratin; very little is excreted in urine, sweat, skin

iron cycle

iron is recycled when stripped and used for new erythrocytes

myelopoiesis

formation of granulocytes and monocytes maturing in bone marrow; either circulates or
stored in blood vessels to be deployed when needed

,lymphopoiesis

production of lymphocytes; mature in lymphoid organs

thrmbopoiesis

platelet development; megakaryocyte replicates DNA but doesn't divide, cell surface
elongates and fragments into platelets; one megakaryocyte can divide into thousands of
platelets

hemostasis

control of bleeding; vascular injury induces vasoconstriction, endothelial damage causes
platelet formation and turns into fibrin plugs for more permanent plugs

van Willebrand factor

subendothelial matrix exposure releases factor to release platelet activators and helps
them stick

intrinsic clotting pathway

factor 12 constricts subendothelial matrix

extrinsic clotting pathway

thromboplastin released by damaged endothelial cells

what prevents spontaneous hematosis

tissue factor, thrombin inhibitors and mechanisms to degrade clotting factors

clot retraction

fibrin strands shorten to approximate edges of injury

fibronolytic system

, blood clot lyses since it's not needed after clot retraction

erythropoietin stimulation at birth

higher blood cell count at birth bc umbilical cord cutting creates hypoxic environments

erythrocyte function with age

replaced more slowly bc iron deficiency, inefficient absorption and recycling

anisocytosis

RBCs present in various sizes

poikilocytosis

RBCs present in various shapes



plasma composition

91% water, 9% solutes; makes up 55% of blood

plasma

liquid portion of blood containing albumin, globulins, clotting factors

albumin

carrier, maintains plasma pressure

globulins

carrier, immunoglobulin

erythrocytes

most abundant RBC responsible for tissue oxygenation; has 100-120 day life cycle to
ensure body has enough to use
