Document Summary
The blood: blood is a connective tissue consisting of a matrix called plasma and a cellular portion called formed elements. Hematocrit: % of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood volume. O2, co2, nutrients, metabolic waste, heat, cells, and hormones body ph, body temperature, and water in fluid compartments. Functions of the blood: transports, regulates, protects, against blood loss through clotting, against diseases through phagocytic white blood cells and antibodies limits infection thus controlling inflammation. Albumins (60%) responsible for osmotic pressure in the blood transport lipid, hormones, calcium and other solute buffer blood ph. Globulins (36%) transport lipids defense (gamma globulins antibodies) Osmotic pressure: the tendency of a solution (blood in this case) to hold (pull) water into it, the more the solute concentration, the greater the osmotic pressure which means more water will move in. Erythrocytes (rbc: biconcave, disc shape o each rbc contains.
