Document Summary
Blood study questions: how much of your body weight is blood, where in the body does blood reside, name the 4 main functions of blood, define hematocrit. Why is it important: define icf, plasma and ecf, what is in plasma, what is the role of plasma proteins, given the names of these plasma proteins, state where in the body they come from and their function. List the types of white blood cells and their functions. How is iron uptaken and regulated: 7-8, tissues and blood vessels, transport, regulation, defense, hemostasis. Transport: o2, co2, nutrients, waste products, hormones and heat. Hemostasis: prevention of blood loss: percent of total blood volume occupied by red blood cells. Calculation: percent of rbc"s/total bv: icf = intracellular fluid (inside of a cell), ecf = extracellular fluid which consists of plasma and interstitial fluid. Plasma is the non cellular part of the blood: mostly, water, electrolytes, transport substances such as co2 and.
