Functions of blood

Transport dissolved gases nutrients. Rooms, metabolic waste.


Restrict fluid loss at injury site


Defend against toxins and pathogens.

Properties of whole blood

Temperature equals 38°C 100.4°


Five times as viscous as water


Turn on my pH is 7.35–7.45

Whole blood

Fluid portion of the blood



55% of volume and 45% of formed elements


Hermatocrit

Way of measuring percentage.

Plasma

92 Percent of plasma is made of water

Formed elements

Aka platelets


Cell fragments involved with blood clotting.

Red Blood cells ( erythrocytes)

Main function: carry oxygen


Most abundant of firmed elements- 99%


•few organelles


•can not divide/repair


•life span 120 days or less


Filled with hemoglobins- protein that binds with oxygen.


Shape: Biconcave- allowed for stacking and carrying more oxygen. A

White blood cells ( Leukocytes)


Never let monkeys eat bananas and

5 types


1-Neutrophils


2-lymphocytes


3-monocytes


4-Eosinophils


5- Basophils

Granulocytes vs Agranulocytes

Based on the presence of granules that are visible when the cells are stained

Neutrophils

Most numerous of WBCs 50–70%


First responders of the immune system

Eosinophils

Increased during allergic reaction

Basophils

Releases histamine



Histamine promotes inflammation

Monocytes

Monster cells that engulf pathogens.

Lymphocytes( immunity specific)

T cells


B cells


Natural killers( NK) Body natural system.

Lymphatic System

Consists of Oregon’s with three primary functions.


1- Transports excess interstitial fluid back to the heart


2- Activating the immune system


3- Absorbing dietary fats

Capillaries

Cite of exchange of blood and interstitial fluid.

Lymphatic Capillaries

Serves to drain and process extracellular fluid.

Lymphatic Vessels

Carry lymph back to the left and right subclavian vein.


Has 2 major ducts


1- right lymphatic ducts


2: thoracic duct

Thymus

Function: Secretes hormones that stimulate T cell maturation


Size: Arches in infants and young children and begins to shrink after puberty

Lymph nodes

Function: Filters lymph as it moves from interstitial fluid back to blood in veins


Removes pathogens

Spleen

Function a filter for blood


Has 2 portions


Red pulp and white pulp

Mucus associated lymphatic tissue( malt)

Clusters of lymphoid nodules scattered throughout these membranes places such as such as gastrointestinal tract, Appendix and tonsils

Lacteal

Where fats inter because they are too large to inter through lymphatic capillary.

Whatare Lacteals?

Move dietary fats to thoracic duct to get into the blood so they can be used by the body

·Describethe flow of air through the respiratory tract beginning with the external nares(nostrils) and know general information about each part

Air passes through the nose to thesuperior/middle/inferior nasal conchae, to the pharynx, then to bronchial tree(primary bronchi—secondary bronchi—tertiary bronchi)

PulmonaryVentilation

Physical movement of air in/out of lungs

GasTransport

Movement of gases through the body

TissueGas Exchange

Exchange of gas between blood and tissue

What is thedifference between internal and external respiration

Internal respiration is the transfer of gas between the blood and cells, External respiration also known as breathing refers to a process of inhaling oxygen from the air into the lungs and expelling carbon dioxide from the lungs to the air

·Whatare the 2 primary muscles for inspiration?

Diaphragm, External Intercostal

·Whenare accessory muscles used?

Forced inspiration

· Whatare the primary muscles for expiration?

**There are none**

·Howdo Carbon dioxide and Oxygen move between blood capillaries and alveoli orbetween blood capillaries and tissues? What drives that movement?

From where there is more oxygen to less. From where there is more carbon dioxide to less.

Tidalvolume:

mount of air exchanged with each breath during normal breathing

o ERV(Expiratory Reserve Volume)

volume of air exhaled after a normal tidal exhale

o IRV(Inspiratory Reserve Volume)

volume of air inhaled after a normal tidal inspiration

ResidualVolume:

amount of air remaining in lungs after maximal expiration

o Inspiratorycapacity

TV+IRV

o Functionalresidual capacity

ERV+RV

o Vitalcapacity

RV+TV+ERV

o Totallung capacity V

C+RV or IRV+TV+ERV+RV
