BIOL 1080 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Complement System, Blood Vessel, Extracellular Fluid
Document Summary
Slide 4b: coagulation disorder ii: fibrin network system, genetic disorders can lead to blood thinners. Liver produces proteins of: the clotting cascade & the complement cascade. Slide 5a: example of excess production of white blood cells include hiv-aids, hiv decreases t-helper cells, x-scid decreases total white blood cell. Slide 5b: the standard capillary in tissues is the reason the system exists, pressure on one side near veins. Lung = environmental interface: there are 2 loops as shown in the diagram, fuel (ie. food) + o2 -> co2 + chemical energy + carbon building blocks. Slide 6b: steps, brain gets freshly oxygenated blood (brain gets it before heart, heart muscles has its own blood supply, liver also gets oxygenated arterial blood (not shown in diagram), blood is mainly held in systemic veins. Lymphatic capillaries have a blunt, closed end (as show in the top right diagram: therefore, not a continuous system, ends suck up the extracellular fluid.
