Document Summary
3 other blood functions: control acid based balance ph of blood and tissue = 7. 4. As # of o2 ions increase, ph goes down. Structures: protein buffers in blood pickup excess hydrogen ions and let go at good time, bicarbonate ion: hco3- Weak acid and hangs on to hydrogen strongly and serves as buffer: kidney, lungs more co2 going out, If co2 stays in body overwhelms buffer and converts water to carbonic acid: immunological. Complement special protein involved in overall immunology. Complement and interferon proteins are found in the blood with glucocytes: ability to coagulate . Fibrinogen (plasma protein) stays soluble until fibrinogen converted into fibrin (fibrin forms clot: hemostasis, vascular spasm- arterials feeding tissues undergo massive vasoconstriction. Slows down blood flow: platelet plug- platelets get sticky and plug hole, coagulation- seals blood vessel. Vital statistics: blood (8 % of body weight or 5. 5 liters or 1. 5 gallons, blood is 5x more viscous than water result of dissolved substances, rbcs.
