Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood is composed of blood cells, fluid; plasma, white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells. Hemopoiesis is the process through which blood cells are formed from hematopoietic stem cells. Blood cells include erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelet.

Tunica is the innermost layer made of a single layer of and a basement membrane. This layer lines the lumen and comes in direct contact with blood. Tunica is comprised of muscle and stretchy fibers. A primary function of this layer is regulating blood flow through The outer surface of arteries and veins is covered with tunica which is a fibrous connective tissue that both supports the vessel wall and anchors the vessel in the body. Unlike arteries and veins, only have tunica intima. These thin-walled vessels are the only vessels capable of gas and nutrient exchange with tissues. capillaries in the kidney and intestines contain a lot of filtration pores to enhance the passage of substances across the capillary wall. capillaries in the…arrow_forward

- This activity involves a concept map on blood. Students are asked to drag a series of terms to triangles on the map in such a way as to demonstrate relationships between them. It is important to look at the connecting words to help you with the process.arrow_forwardUse the word bank below to complete the following statements (terms can be used more than once): arteries capillaries veins are vessels that move blood away from the heart are vessels that return blood to the heart are semi-permeable vessels that exchange gases, nutrients, and wastes between the blood and local tissues In the pulmonary circulation, are vessels carrying oxygenated blood. In the systemic circulation, are vessels carrying oxygenated blood. In the pulmonary circulation, are vessels carrying deoxygenated blood. In the systemic circulation, are vessels carrying deoxygenated blood. have a prostacyclin coating that repels platelets and blood cells from sticking to its surface.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about red blood cells is false? a. They live about 120 days before being replaced. b. They lack a nucleus and other organelles when they are mature. c. They are replaced when the hormone EPO stimulates stem cells in bone marrow. d. They are replaced as part of a negative feedback loop in which kidney cells monitor blood oxygen levels e.

Which cell feature is most likely disrupted? How does disruption of the normal function of this cell feature lead to a specific symptom associated with this disease? asap please.arrow_forwardBlood clotting is a homeostatic response. When clotting is poor, even a slight injury to a blood vessel may lead to severe blood loss. When clotting is excessive, small blood vessels in critical places in the body can become clogged leading to clots. Excessive bleeding or excessive clotting both can be dangerous. – Describe the main stages in the formation of a blood clot and evaluate the importance of specific factors example platelets, vitamin K, air and blood proteins Injured tissue – exposure of endothelial cells Narrowing (constriction) of blood vessels Activity of platelets Activity of clotting factorsarrow_forward
