Chapter 29, Problem 29.7UKC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The blank space in the given diagram should be filled with the names of the principal components of whole blood.
Concept introduction:
Human blood consists of plasma, in which cells are suspended.
The whole blood composed of two portions;
- (1) Blood plasma: (55%) extracellular matrix that containing dissolved substances.
- Straw – colored liquid, mostly water and some proteins (Anti bodies)
- (2) Formed elements: (45%) cells and cell fragments
- RBCs, WBCs, and platelets.

What are the mainfunctions of the blood?
Xena lights a fire to keep warm, and cook his green root vegetables, which are extremely alkaline. Xena is so hungry, and she is eating all her green root vegetables making her blood quite alkaline for a short time.
In a healthy body, sometimes the O2/Hb curve shifts to the right (the green line in the figure above). Give one example of a change to blood chemistry that may shift the curve to the right in a healthy body. Explain what impact this has on O2 delivery to the tissues and explain the importance of this phenomenon in maintaining homeostasis.

- What are the two principal components of the blood?arrow_forwardList two protective functions of blood.arrow_forwardYour patient is an 85-year-old man with congestive heart failure (CHF). BP = 145/87. He has been very ill and hasn't been eating. A blood test shows that he has hypoproteinemia (low levels of protein in the blood). Would an intravenous (IV) infusion of albumin be an appropriate treatment? Why or why not? Yes, because it would help with blood clotting. No, because it would help with blood clotting. Yes, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume. No, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume. Yes, because it would decrease his blood pressure. No, because it would decrease his blood pressure. Yes, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more.

- Thomas has hepatitis, which is disrupting his liver functions. What kinds of symptoms would he be experiencing based on the role(s) of the liver related to blood?arrow_forwarda) Hemoglobin accounts for 95% of the protein in red blood cells. If you Google the number of hemoglobin molecules in a RBC, most sources state 250-270 million hemoglobin molecules. If hemoglobin has a molecular weight of 67,000 Da, what is the concentration of hemoglobin in RBCs? Show your work and show your units. Use dimensional analysis to have your final answer in moles per liter. B) The hemoglobin molecule is nearly spherical with a diameter of 55 Angstroms. You can look at the 3D structure of human hemoglobin on the RCSB PDB website. Calculate the volume of a hemoglobin molecule, and can the number of hemoglobin molecules quoted in Question a actually fit into one red blood cell?arrow_forwardXena lights a fire to keep warm, and cook his green root vegetables, which are extremely alkaline. Xena is so hungry, and she is eating all her green root vegetables making her blood quite alkaline for a short time. An example of the O2/Hb dissociation curve is provided below. The central blue line represents ‘normal blood’, and the typical affinity of Hb for O2. Referring to this figure will help you answer the following questions. Describe how the oxygen transporting capacity of haemoglobin will change for a short time in the presence of alkaline blood and explain the consequence of this change to the oxygen supply of peripheral tissues for this short time. Justify your answers.arrow_forward
