Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

41 notecards = 11 pages (4 cards per page)

Viewing:

Blood

front 1

The liquid (extracellular) portion. Usually a little more than half the entire volume of whole blood

back 1

Plasma

front 2

Most adults have 4 to 6 L of blood, which accounts for about 7-9% of the total body weight. (The amount of blood will go up with heavier people and men)

back 2

Normal Volumes of blood

front 3

transport oxygen and carbon dioxide though blood

back 3

RBC (Erythrocytes)

front 4

involved with immunity

back 4

WBC (Leukocytes)

front 5

Not cells at all. They are fragments of larger cells and promote blood clotting

back 5

Platelets

front 6

If the pH of blood drops below 7.35

back 6

Acidodosis Devolping

front 7

Liquid portion of the blood.

*1.5% of the total amount of oxygen and 10% of Carbon dioxide transported in the blood is dissolved in blood plasma

back 7

Blood Plasma

front 8

Plasma proteins, which make up about 7% of plasma by wight. These proteins include albumins and globulins

back 8

Most abundant solutes found in the plasma

front 9

Are the most abundant plasma proteins. Help maintain water blalance in the blood by creating an osmotic pressure that pulls water into blood vessels by osmosis

back 9

Albumins

front 10

Include the antibodies that help protect us from infections

back 10

Globulins

front 11

Carried in plasma; proteins that are necessary for blood clotting.

back 11

Fibrinogen/Prothrombin

front 12

Plasma minus its clotting factors

back 12

Blood serum

front 13

make blood cells for the body

back 13

Two kinds of connective tissue:

*Myeloid tissue & Lympthoid tissue

front 14

Better known as red bone marrow.

back 14

Myeloid tissue

front 15

Oxygen and carbon dioxide transport

back 15

Erythrocyte

front 16

Immune defense (phagocytosis)

back 16

Neutrophil

front 17

Defense against parasites

back 17

Eosinophil

front 18

Inflammatory response and heparin secretion

back 18

Basophil

front 19

Antibody production (precursor of plasma cells)

back 19

B Lymphocyte

front 20

cellular immune response destroys virally infected cells and cancer cells

back 20

T lymphocyte

front 21

Immune defenses (phagocytosis). Forms all blood cells except some lymphocytes and monocytes

back 21

Monocyte

front 22

Blood clotting

back 22

Thrombocyte

front 23

4.2 to 6.2 million

back 23

Numbers of RBCs

front 24

5000 to 10,000

back 24

Number of WBCs

front 25

150,000 to 400,000

back 25

Number of platelets

front 26

Over production of red blood cells (RBC)

Generally cancerous

back 26

Polycythemia

front 27

Not enough red blood cells, to low oxygen-carrying capacity of blood

back 27

Anemia

front 28

clot that stays in the circulatory system where it is formed

back 28

thrombus

front 29

a clot, or portion of a clot that circulates in the blood

back 29

Embolus

front 30

Abnormally low blood platelet count

back 30

Thrombocytopenia

front 31

Caused by vitamin b12 deficiency

decreased RBC, WBC, & platelet numbers.

RBCS are macrocytic

low iron

back 31

Pernicious anemia

front 32

An inherited blood clotting disorder caused by a failure to form necessary clotting factors

back 32

hemophilia

front 33

Inhibits blood clotting

back 33

Heparin

front 34

A substance developed in the body in response to stimulation by an antigen

back 34

Antibodies

front 35

Protein present in blood essential for blood clotting

back 35

Fibrinogen

front 36

Genetic diseases resulting in formation of abnormal hemoglobin, (HbS); primarily found in Africans Americans

RBCS become fragile and assume sickled shape when blood oxygen levels decrease

back 36

Sickle cell anemia

Caused by deficiency of or inability to absorb iron needed for Hb synthesis

RBCS are microcytic and hypochromic

Hematocrit is decreased

back 37

Iron deficiency anemia

front 38

Caused by decreased RBC life span or increased RBC rate of destruction

Symptoms such as; Jaundice, swelling of spleen, gallstone formation, and tissue iron deposits, are related to retention of RBC breakdown products
