Study Notes
Blood Terminology
- hema- means "blood"
- -penia means "deficiency"
- erythro- means "red"
- leuk- means "white"
- thromb- means "related to clotting"
Blood Cells and Functions
- Hemocytoblast is the stem cell for all blood cells
- Thrombocytopenia indicates a platelet deficiency
- Thrombin is the main protein involved in blood clotting
- Erythrocyte refers to a red blood cell
- Leukocyte refers to a white blood cell
Plasma and Electrolytes
- Chloride is an example of a plasma electrolyte
- Albumin in blood plasma helps to maintain proper fluid balance
Hemostasis and Clotting
- Platelets are formed elements responsible for stopping bleeding
- Basophils release histamine during inflammatory responses
- Five times the viscosity of water characterizes whole blood
- Vascular spasm is the first step in the hemostasis process
- Hemophilia is associated with a deficiency of clotting factors
Blood Types and Antigens
- A positive blood type shows agglutination with anti-A and anti-Rh antibodies
- The ABO blood groups are based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens on red blood cells
- Individuals with O negative blood can only receive O negative blood in transfusions
- Type O blood contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma
- Blood type AB has both A and B antigens, while type O has neither
- Rh antigens, discovered in Rhesus monkeys, require special attention in pregnancies
Pregnancy Concerns
- A sensitized Rh- mother carrying an Rh+ fetus may face complications
- The process leading to fetal harm includes anti-Rh antibody formation and transplacental transfer
Blood Donation Compatibility
- A person with B+ blood can receive O-, O+, B+, or B- blood
- A person with AB- blood can receive O-, B-, A-, or AB- blood
- A person with O+ can receive O- or O+ blood
- A person with A- can receive O- or A- blood
Unique Characteristics of Blood Types
- AB+ blood is a universal recipient and has A, B, and Rh antigens
- O- blood is the universal donor and contains anti-A and anti-B antibodies
- Pernicious anemia is associated with stomach mucosa atrophy, common in the elderly
Clotting Factors
- Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin during the clotting process
- Clot enhancers include tissue factor, PF3, calcium ions, thrombin, fibrinogen, and vitamin K
- Clot inhibitors include Aspirin, Heparin, and Coumadin
