KIN 190 Study Guide - Factor Viii, Factor Xi, Von Willebrand Factor
Document Summary
You should be able to: describe the composition of blood and the functions of each component. Platelets: (thrombocytes): cell fragment, form platelet plugs, release chemicals ready for blood clotting: list the main functions of blood. Transport (gas, nutrients, waste products, processed/regulatory molecules) Albumins: transport fatty acids, buffer, viscosity, osmotic pressure, thyroid hormones. Globulins: transports lipids, carbs, hormones, ions, antibodies. Fibrinogen: blood clotting: list the formed elements and state the function of each. Rbc (erythrocytes): anucleate, contain hemoglobin, transports oxygen/carbon dioxide. Wbc (leukocytes): granulocytes: cytoplasm has large granules, multi-lobed nutrients > neutrophils, basophils, eosiniphils . Agranulocytes: cytoplasm has small granules, nuclei are not lobed (lymphocytes/monocytes) Platelets: (thrombocytes): cell fragment, form platelet plugs, release chemicals ready for blood clotting: discuss hematopoiesis. Blood cell production: describe the structure and function of red blood cells in detail (be sure to know the role of bicarbonate ion and carbonic anhydrase). 1/3 hemoglobin, 2/3 lipids, atp, carbonic anhydrase.
