Study Notes
- Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood and is produced by the liver
- Immunoglobulin (antibodies) and complement protein are proteins involved in defense
- Fibrinogen is a protein involved in coagulation
- Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced in the kidney that helps with red blood cell production
- When oxygen decreases and red blood cells increase, a hormone is produced
- The average life span of a red blood cell is 120 days
- Anemia is not having enough red blood cells to carry oxygen
- Neutrophil is the most numerous in NLMEB
- White blood cells (Table 17.2) protect the body from infection, produce antibodies, remove dead cells and debris, and fight cancerous cells
- Erythropoiesis is the production of red blood cells
- Platelets stop bleeding (hemostasis)
- The liver produces clotting protein
- A moving blood clot is called an embolus
- Thrombin is the enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin
