Unit 1. Case Study 1. Tell Me About Blood
1. Lower hemocrit= anemia= fatigue, pale pallor, etc. Low hemocrit can be due to anemia, bleeding, destruction of red blood cells, leukemia, and malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6. (nlm.nih.gov) A bacterial infection, which raises white blood cell count, may affect the hemocrit by lowering it.
2. Lymphocytes and the other formed elements are developed from pluripotent stem cells. The pluripotent stem cells generate myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells. Myeloid stem cells start and complete their development in red bone marrow and give rise to red blood cells, platelets, eosinophil’s, basophils, neutrophils and monocytes. Lymphoid stem cells begin development in the red bone marrow, but some are completed in the lymphatic tissues, where they give rise to lymphocytes. (Jenkins, Kemnitz, & Tortora, 2010)
3. Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells are produced. It is stimulated by decreased O2 in circulation, which is detected by the kidneys, which then secrete the hormone erythroprotein (en.wikipedia.org). Erythropoiesis is speeded up when oxygen delivery to the kidneys falls and slows down when there is sufficient oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
4. Nothing would happen. Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. (webmd.com)
5. A. lymphocyte-major combatant in immune responses. (livestrong.com/white-blood-cells)
B. basophil- intensifies the inflammatory reaction. It is involved in hypersensitivity reactions. (livestrong.com/white-blood-cells)
C. monocyte- phagocytosis and cell debris cleanup. (livestong.com/white-blood-cells)
D. neutrophil- active in phagocytosis. (Livestrong.com/white-blood-cells)
E. eosinophil- releases enzymes that combat the effects of histamine. (Livestrong.com/white-blood-cells)
