What is the formation of blood cells? - Answer hemopoiesis (or hematopoiesis) Where does hemopoiesis occur in the body? - Answer red bone marrow What is an uncommitted embryonic cell found in the red bone marrow (bone stem cell)? - Answer hemocytoblast What occurs to blood cells in the process of maturation in becoming a committed mature cell (what happens to the size of the cell, the

nucleus, and the cytoplasm)? - Answer - Cells destined to become RBCs first differentiate into proerythroblasts.

  • Proerythroblasts then differentiate into various stages of cells called erythroblasts, which actively synthesize hemoglobin. Erythroblasts are named according to total size amount of hemoglobin present, & size of appearance of the nucleus.
  • After about 4 days of differentiation, the erythroblast, now called a normoblast, sheds its nucleus & becomes a reticulocyte, which contains 80% of the Hb of a mature RBC.
  • After 2 days in the bone marrow, they enter the bloodstream.
  • After 24 hours in circulation, the reticulocytes complete their maturation & resemble other mature RBCs. What are the two lines of blood cell development that hemocytoblasts give rise to? - Answer myeloid stem cell line & lymphoid stem cell line What cells are formed from the myeloid stem cell line? - Answer erythrocytes & all leukocytes except lymphocytes & megakaryocytes What cells are formed from the lymphoid stem cell line? - Answer only lymphocytes

What is platelet production that occurs within red bone marrow? - Answer thrombocytopoiesis What are enormous cells with large nuclei (up to 169 micrometers in diameter)? - Answer megakaryocytes What is the function of the megakaryocyte? - Answer They remain in red bone marrow and shed platelets into the bloodstream. What determines the RBC count, WBC, erythrocyte indices, hematocrit, and platelet count per 1 cubic milliliter of blood (or 1 microliter of blood)? - Answer complete blood count (CBC) What identifies the types and numbers of each white blood cell? - Answer WBC differential count What is the percentage of formed elements in whole blood? - Answer hematocrit (Hct) What is an elevated and a depressed hematocrit called? - Answer elevated: polycythemia depressed: anemia What is the concentration of hemoglobin in blood? - Answer hemoglobin (Hb)

What is an elevated and depressed hemoglobin called? - Answer elevated: polycythemia depressed: anemia What is the average weight of hemoglobin in one RBC? - Answer mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCH) What is a normal, an elevated, and a depressed mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration called? - Answer Normal MCH: normochromatic Elevated MCH: hyperchromic Depressed MCH: hypochromic What is the average volume in one RBC? - Answer mean corpuscular volume (MCV) What is a normal, an elevated, and a depressed mean corpuscular volume called? - Answer Normal MCV: normocytic Elevated MCV: macrocytic Depressed MCV: microcytic What is the number of RBCs per microliter of whole blood? - Answer RBC count What is an elevated and a depressed RBC count called? - Answer elevated: erythrocytosis/polycythemia

lose any organelle that is not directly associated with its primary function. Each hemoglobin molecule consists of ____ subunits of globular proteins which consists of ______. Within each protein subunit, there is a ____ group. - Answer 4; 2 alpha chains & 2 beta chains; heme What is an iron containing, non-protein pigment? - Answer heme What does the oxygen molecule chemically react with? - Answer iron (reacts weakly) How many molecules of oxygen can bind to one hemoglobin molecule?

  • Answer 1 hemoglobin molecule contains 4 heme units, so each RBC can potentially carry more than a billion molecules of O2 at a time What is hemoglobin bound to oxygen? - Answer oxyhemoglobin What color is oxyhemoglobin? - Answer bright red What is hemoglobin not bound to oxygen? - Answer deoxyhemoglobin What color is deoxyhemoglobin? - Answer dark red (burgundy almost)

What percentage of oxygen is transported through the circulation by hemoglobin? - Answer 98% What percentage of RBCs are recycled? - Answer 90% If an RBC is recycled, what cells phagocytize them? Where are these phagocytic cells located? - Answer RBCs are phagocytized by macrophages of the liver, spleen, & bone marrow. If hemoglobin is recycled, what is the fate of the respiratory pigment in heme (the iron, Fe)? - Answer Iron is extracted from heme & is transported to bone marrow or stored in the liver. If hemoglobin is recycled, what is the fate of the globulin? - Answer In globulin, amino acids are recycled to be reused for protein synthesis. When will an RBC fail to be recycled? - Answer when hemolysis occurs (ruptured cells cannot be recycled) What is the rupture of RBCs? - Answer hemolysis What is a substance that can trigger an immune response? - Answer antigen

If you are donating blood, what must be compatible with the recipient?

  • Answer Your cell membrane antigens must not react with the recipient plasma antibodies.

This prevents the mother's immune system from making antibodies against the developing fetus's red blood cells. Describe the events that occur between a mother and fetus to cause hemolytic disease of the newborn. - Answer - During pregnancy, when fetal & maternal vascular systems are closely intertwined, the mother's antibodies against RBC surface antigens may cross the placenta, attacking & destroying fetal RBCs.

  • Since these immature RBCs are erythroblasts, HDN is also known as erythroblastosis fetalis.
  • Without treatment, a fetus with erythroblastosis fetalis may die before delivery or shortly after. What blood type is the universal donor? - Answer type O negative (O-) How do WBCs & RBCs differ in cellular structure? - Answer WBCs have nuclei & organelles, but lack hemoglobin.
