TEST BANK EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Plasma - ANS-The liquid (extracellular) part of blood; blood minus its formed elements
Formed Elements - ANS-The many different types of cells and cell fragments that make up the blood:
RBCs, WBCs, and thrombocytes (platelets)
4 to 6 liters; 7% to 9% total body weight - ANS-Amount of blood in an adult human body
Between 7.35 and 7.45 (alkaline) - ANS-Blood pH
Acidosis - ANS-When the alkalinity of blood decreases toward a neutral pH
Plasma proteins - ANS-Albumins, globulins, fibrinogen, and prothrombin
Albumin - ANS-Protein that helps retain water in the blood by osmosis
Globulin - ANS-Protein that includes anitbodies that help protect us from infection
Serum - ANS-Plasma minus its clotting factors
Fibrinogen and prothrombin - ANS-Proteins necessary for blood clotting
Granular leukocytes - ANS-Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils; have granules in their cytoplasm
Agranular leukocytes - ANS-Lymphocytes (B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes) and monocytes; do not
have granules in their cytoplasm
4.2-6.2 million - ANS-Normal range of RBCs/mm3
5000-9000 - ANS-Normal range of WBCs/mm3
140,000 to 340,000 - ANS-Normal range of platelets
