Document Summary
What are the functions of blood: transport of gases, nutrients, and waste products, transport of processed molecules, transport of regulatory molecules, regulation of ph and osmosis, maintenance of body temperature, protection against foreign substances, clot formation. What is blood composed of: plasma (55%) Colloid: contains suspended substances: water (91%, proteins, ions, nutrients, waste products, gases, regulatory substances (9%) Proteins: albumins: most abundant (58%, osmotic pressure, transports fas, globulins (38%, transports lipids, carbohydrates, hormones, ions, and antibodies, fibrinogen (4%, blood clotting. Red blood cells (erythrocytes: bioconcave discs, no nucleus, or mitochondria, contain hemoglobin (protein) transports o2 and co2, converts co2 and h2o to h2co3. White blood cells (leukocytes: granulocytes: large granules; have multi-lobed nuclei. Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils: agranulocytes: small granules and nuclei that are not lobed. Platelets (thrombocytes: cell fragment, form platelet plugs, release chemicals necessary for blood clotting. How are the components of blood formed: hematopoiesis: process of blood cell production.
