Review of the Blood Circulatory
What are the 5 Functions of blood?
What is Whole blood – components
Describe Plasma, formed elements – components and functions
Describe the Proteins – albumin, globulins, fibrinogen – and their functions in the blood system.
Describe the RBCs, WBCs, and platelets. How many of each are there?
What is the average and range for: Temperature, viscosity, and pH?
What is a Venipuncture, arterial stick, and capillary smear? Why are they used?
What are the Hemopoietic tissues? Define hemocytoblasts, erythropoiesis, leucopoiesis, lymphopoiesis,
How many RBCs per volume (hematocrit),
Characteristics of RBCs
5 types of WBCs
What are the Characteristics of WBCs?
How many of each type of WBC? What a high level of each means?
What each WBC does
What is Heparin and Histamine? From where are they secreted? In response to what? What is their function?
What is a Megakaryocyte?
What is a Lymphocyte?
Lifespan of RBCs – what happens to em
Old RBCs, hemolysis, phagocytosis
What are the different Blood types: A, B, O, AB, RH? How are they determined? On what is blood type based?
What are Antigens, agglutinins, and antibodies?
What are Identifier proteins? How are they used by the body? What problems do they cause?
What is Hemostasis? Define it.
Describe the process of Blood clotting.
What are the three stages of clotting?
What is the difference between the Vascular phase, the Platelet phase, and the Coagulation phase?
What are the Clotting factors?
What is the Extrinsic vs. intrinsic pathway, and common pathway?
What is Thromboplastin, prothrombin, and thrombin? What is their role in blood clotting?
What is Fibrinolysis plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator, and Plasmin?
6 different proteins in/on the cell membrane? What does each do?
Protein synthesis? Where does it occur? Describe it and it’s role in Blood system.
Characteristics of water? How does the human body use each characteristics to help maintain homeostasis? Which characteristics specifically support the blood system? How does water support the cellular transport mechanisms in the blood system?
Cellular transport mechanisms. Or how/why things move between one location and another – i.e. diffusion, osmosis, etc. Know how each functions, how each is different from the others, how each is affected by the cell membrane. Define semi-permeable membrane. How do these mechanisms affect the blood system?
Define stress. What are some things that stress the blood system?
Use the standard anatomical position to describe the location of the blood organs, nerves, etc.
What are the epithelial tissues associated with blood system?
How is the blood system linked to the skeletal, vascular, digestive, reproductive, nervous integumentary, muscular, endocrine, respiratory, lymphatic/immune, and urinary systems?
Review of previous chapters questions
Connective tissue: no free border
What is the function of CT in the blood system?
Matrix and components: ground substance, matrix molecules, hyaluronic and proteoglycans, specialized cells
3 fiber types: where are they found in the blood system? What roles do they play?
Describe the different types of connective tissue and the specialized matrix and cells of each. What is connective tissue proper and its divisions; fluid CT; specialized/structural CT; RBCs; WBCs; 5 types of WBCs and characteristics of each; fibrocytes, osteocytes, -cytes, -blasts, -clasts, perichondrium. How are these structures connected to the blood system?
3 types of cartilage and characteristics
Examples of each CT type, each cartilage type and where it can be found,
Mast cells, adipocytes, macrophages,
What are the macrophages of the blood system?
4 types of membranes: Mucous, serous, synovial, cutaneous: differences, where each is found, examples
What are the membranes associated with the blood system? Define epithelium, endothelium, etc. Where is each found in the blood system?
Name some membranes made of connective tissue
Inflammation – define; 5 signs, histamine, How does this affect the blood system? What causes the ‘pain’ in inflammation? How does this affect the blood system?
Tissue repair – regeneration, replacement. How does this affect the blood system? What are the ‘levels of organization’ (chp 1) in the blood system? How does tissue repair affect blood system organization?
