Understanding the Components and Functions of Blood: A Detailed Analysis, Quizzes of Physiology

A comprehensive overview of the essential components and functions of blood. Topics covered include the definition and functions of blood, plasma, formed elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets), their respective types and abnormalities, and the process of hematopoiesis. Additionally, the document discusses the role of the spleen and the importance of hemoglobin, erythropoietin, and colony stimulating factors.

DEFINITION 19

Blood doping is the practice of boosting the number of red

blood cells in the bloodstream in order to enhance athletic

performance. artificial induced polycythemia

DEFINITION 20

White blood cells, or leukocytes, are cells of the immune

system involved in defending the body against both

infectious disease and foreign materials.

large round nucleous, no granes, 25% of white blood cells,

stored in the lymph nodes, released when infection occures,

live decades, 60+ years

TERM 34

Platelets

DEFINITION 34

ThrombocytesFunction to clot blood,Thromboprotein

hormone that stimulates the production of platelets

TERM 35

Hematopoiesis

DEFINITION 35

Haematopoiesis (or hematopoiesis in American English;

sometimes also haemopoiesis or hemopoiesis) is the

formation of blood cellular components.

Erythropoiesis

Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells are

produced. It is stimulated by decreased O2 in circulation,

which is detected by the kidneys, which then secrete the

hormone erythropoietin.

TERM 37

Leukopoiesis

DEFINITION 37

Leukopoiesis is a form of hematopoiesis in which white blood

cells are formed in bone marrow located in bones in adults

and hematopoietic organs in the fetus.

Steps in Clotting

thromboplastin released by platelets and damaged vessel tisue

this stimulates - prothrombin an inactive enzyme that is found in

bloodProthrombin when activated becomes thrombinThrombin

converts molecules of the protein fibrinogenfibrinogen when

activated becomes fibrinfibrin is an insoluble fiber that traps RBC's

to form clotsThroboplastin, prothrombin, thrombin, fibrogen, fibrin,
