ANAT 1053 Week 1: Unit 1: The Cardiova
scular System Part 1 UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Blood - CORRECT ANSWER - Transportation, regulation, protection
Plasma - CORRECT ANSWER - A yellow watery liquid which makes up the main part of the
blood
Erythrocytes - CORRECT ANSWER - A mature red blood cell, a nucleate and have no cell
organelles, carry oxygen
Leukocytes - CORRECT ANSWER - White bloood cells that help body fight infection and
other diseases (WBCs)
Platelets - CORRECT ANSWER - Blood clotting - crucial to normal blood clotting
Hematopoiesis - CORRECT ANSWER - The production of all types of blood cells including
formation, development and differentiation of blood cells
Erythropoiesis - CORRECT ANSWER - The production of red blood cells
Reticulocytes - CORRECT ANSWER - Immature RBCs (shift cells), no nuclei, cytoplasmic
RNA
Reticulocytes - CORRECT ANSWER - In order to measure the re-generation left
effectiveness of RBC production by the bone marrow
, Viscosity - CORRECT ANSWER - Resistance of a fluid to flow, resulting from the cohesion
of its particles, whole blood 4.5 to 5.5 times as viscous as water
Osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWER - The total molarity of dissolved particles that cannot pass
through the blood vessel wall
Osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWER - If to high concentration of sodium, glucose, amino
acids, albumins, (anything hydrophilic), blood will retain too much water
Osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWER - Blood volume will increase, blood plasma will decrease
Osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWER - If too low, blood volume decreases, blood plasma
decreases
Osmotic pressure - CORRECT ANSWER - The tendency of a sodium(blood in this case) to
hold(pull) water into it
Osmotic pressure - CORRECT ANSWER - The ability of the blood to pull water
Osmotic pressure - CORRECT ANSWER - The more the soluble(?) concentration, the greater
the osmotic pressure which means no more water will move in (ex: low albumin means water
will leak out of the blood)
Plasma viscosity - CORRECT ANSWER - Resistance to flow; formal elements tend to stick
together making it more difficult to flow than water (whole blood is 4.5-5.5 times more difficult
to flow than water)
Plasma osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWER - Is a measure of the concentration of soluble
(protein, urea (?), RBC electrolyte and glucose) in the plasma
