1. An obstruction in blood flow to the kidneys would result in
|
A. |
increased erythropoiesis. |
|
|
B. |
reduced release of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells |
|
|
C. |
pernicious anemia. |
|
|
D. |

2. Why do you need parietal cells in your stomach to produce red blood cells?
A.The stomach is needed for nutrition, and you need amino acids and iron to make red blood cells.
B.Iron (Fe2+) is absorbed in the stomach by parietal cells
C.Parietal cells secrete intrinsic factor, which is necessary to absorb vitamin B12 in the small intestine.
D.Parietal cells secrete intrinsic factor that binds Fe2+, allowing it to be absorbed in the small intestine.
3. What is true about a person with a Rh- blood type?
|
A. |
She is a universal acceptor. |
|
|
B. |
If she has an Rh-negative baby that baby might have hemolytic disease of the newborn. |
|
|
C. |
She has anti-Rh antibodies in her plasma. |
|
|
D. |
She has Rh antigens on her red blood cells. |

In what way does blood assist in immune function?
|
A. |
Red blood cells transport gases. |
|
|
B. |
Albumins transport hormones. |
|
|
C. |
Plasma antibodies and white blood cells defend against pathogens. |
|
|
D. |
Platelets allow clotting. |
What is so special about hemoglobin?
|
A. |
It is organic and gluten free. |
|
|
B. |
It reversibly binds O2, i.e. it binds and releases O2 in the pulmonary circulation and systemic tissues, respectively. |
|
|
C. |
It carries oxygen and moves freely across capillary walls to deliver oxygen and retrieve carbon dioxide from metabolically active tissues. |
|
|
D. |
It has 34 hydrogen molecules. |
3. What does erythropoietin (EPO) do?
|
A. It stimulates red blood cell synthesis in the white bone marrow. |
||
|
B. It stimulates red blood cell production in the red bone marrow. |
||
|
C. It stimulates red blood cell production in the circulating plasma. |
||
|
D. It stimulates hematopoiesis. |
||
|
E. It stimulates hemolysis. |

Why does the hematocrit rise when a person is dehydrated?
|
A. |
An increase in plasma electrolyte concentration is recorded on the hematocrit. |
|
|
B. |
Edema occurs, meaning water moves from the circulation into the interstitial fluid. |
|
|
C. |
Sweat is mainly water and when the water content of blood decreases the hematocrit is increased. |
|
|
D. |
Sweat is mainly water and when the water content of blood decreases the hematocrit is decreased. |
2. What values are correct for cation concentrations in plasma?
|
A. |
Protein = 7% |
|
|
B. |
Cl- = 140 mM |
|
|
C. |
Ca2+ 1 µM |
|
|
D. |
Na+ 139 mM |
3. Albumins:
|
A. Account for ~30% of the plasma proteins. They function as immunoglobulins which attack foreign proteins, and also transport hormones. |
||
|
B. Account for ~70% of the plasma proteins. They function as immunoglobulins which attack foreign proteins, and also transport apolipoproteins. |
||
|
C. Account for ~70% of the plasma proteins and are major contributors of plasma osmolarity. |
||
|
D. Are the most abundant plasma protein and are the major contributor of the osmotic pressure of formed elements. |
