Document Summary
Blood in veins is acidic-7. 35; co2 > carbonic acid. Specific gravity (weigh of 1 ml of blood compared to 1 ml of distilled water): 1. 05=1. 06. Viscosity: whole blood 4-5 times as viscous compared to water. Waste products > urea [protein > amino acid >nh2 + co2] Ur(emia)-in blood; high urea conc in blood. Shivering: thermogenesis, atp used to generate heat. Acidosis: too many h+; breathing increases because. 40% of 60% inside of cells; intracellular fluid (icf) 20% outside the cells; extracellular fluid (ecf) 15% of 20% among the cells interstitial fluid. Polycythemia: too many rbcs; hct goes up to 60%, blood too viscous. Needs hormone erythropoietin secreted by kidneys > stimulates rbc formation. Porphyrin - fe >fe to liver as ferritin > transferritin to bone marrow. White or blue light: reduces half life of bilirubin. 37% globulins; alpha, beta, or gamma globulins [antibodies] Hematocrit (hct) : ratio of rbcs to plasma.
