Document Summary
Bio 202 anatomy & physiology ii: review for final exam. Plasma is 92% water and also contains a mixture of proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones, lipids, carbs, trace elements, and gases. Proteins are the most abundant solute in plasma that are used for clotting, defense, and transport. There are 3 categories of plasma proteins: albumins (most abundant which contribute to viscosity and osmolarity and influence bp, blood flow, and fluid balance), fibrinogen (clotting), and globulins (immune system defenses). Leukocytes (=granulocytes which has cytoplasmic granules consist of neutrophils, eosinophils, & basophils; agranulocytes which have no cytoplasmic granules consist of lymphocytes like t-cells and b-cells & monocytes and macrophages) and platelets. Regulates: body temperature by transporting heat out of the skin. Stabilizes: ph via buffers for acids & bases. Blood is 4. 5-5. 5x more viscous than water; plasma alone is 2x more viscous than water; too many or too few rbcs changes the viscocity of blood and puts a strain on the heart.
