Pluripotent stem cell
a cell that can make many types of blood cells
Hematopoiesis
How pluripotent cells differentiate into different cells
Erythropoietin
Hormone that creates red blood cells
Components of blood
Plasma, Formed Elements, Red and White blood cells, Platelets
Bohr Effect
When a decrease in PCO2 acidity causes an increase in how much O2 binds with hemoblobin.
An increases in PCO2 acidity causes a decrease in the affinity of O2 with hemoblobin
2,3 biphosphoglycerate
Chemical in red blood cells that affects hemoglobins affinity to O2
Erythopoiesis Process
Erythropoietin is secreted when renal cells sense hypoxia. This stimulates the bone marrow to increase RBC production.
Sequestration
trapping of RBC by an organ
Marginated leukocytes
Leukocytes that attach to the walls of blood vessels.
Diapedesis
Marginated leuckocytes that are more attached to the walls of the blood vessels leave the blood vessels by squeezing between the cells lining the blood vessels and follow chemical signals to the infection site. Destroyed by phagocytosis
