What formed element is 5,000- 10,000 _BC/ uL of blood

What formed element is uniform structure

What formed element is many types, size, shapes, granules

What formed element is enucleated

What formed element has a nucleus

What formed element has hemoglobin

What formed element lives for 120 days

What formed element can live for months and years

What formed element function is O2 and CO2 transportation

What formed element function is protection

There is more Erythrocytes in males (5.4 million) than females (4.8 million)

Hematocrit (Hct) in children

Hematocrit (Hct) in females

Hematocrit (Hct) in males

hemorrhage, anemia, or problems with hemopoiesis indicates

dehydration, blood doping or living at higher altitudes indicates

Hematocrite (Hct) refers to the % of blood made of WBC

What formed element lacks a mitochondria

What describe the structure of Erythrocyte

Why does Erythrocytes produce ATP by anaerobic respiration

Hemoglobin is a protein in Erythrocytes

There are 280 million hemoglobin per RBC

14-20 g of hemogolobin in

12-16 g of hemogolobin in

14-18 g of hemogolobin in

Each hemoglobin molecule is composed of

O2 binds to Fe of hemoblob in the lungs to from

CO2 binds to globin of hemoglobin in the tissues

CO in cigarette smoke, car exhaust competes with O2 for binding to Fe and deprives O2 supply to body cells resulting in quick death

Oxygen deficiency in blood or in tissues due to low O2 in atmosphere (high altitude) or anemia (lack of Fe, certain amino acids, vit B, gastric intrinsic factor)

This issue occurs when Hct (hematocrit) is above 65%. Increased RBC --> increased blood viscosity (thickness) --> increased BP --> increased chance of thrombosis and hemorrhage

This issue occurs when Hct (hematocrit) is below 35% leads to hypoxemia causes leathargy, shortness of breath, pallor, palpitation

This issue occurs when there is hemolysis/blockage of bile duct/liver disease which causes accumulation of bilirubin in skin, nails, sclera of the eyes and causes yellow coloration and toxcity

This issue occurs when the RBC numbers are artificially increased which increases muscle performance. This is done by injecting previously stored RBCs

this anemia has to due with insufficient Fe

this anemia has to due with excessive bleeding as in stomach ulcer/period

this anemia has to due to lack of intrinsic factor for vitamin B12 absorption in stomach

this anemia has to due to lysis of RBC caused by parasites, toxins, antibodies or hemoglobin defects

this anemia is hereditory, it is a defective hemoglobin that makes thin and fragile RBCs

this anemia is due to lack of red bone marrow activity caused by radiation or chemotherapy

this anemia is a genetic disorder and due to mutation of hemoglobin gene which is made by RBC. The hemoglobin forms crystals inside and becomes distorted. Will not transport oxygen and clog blood capillaries

What does erythropoiesis require?

Testosterone and high altitude stimulates kidneys to make more ertyhropoietin which makes more RBCs and higher Hct
