(BQ) Part 2 book “Gunstream’s anatomy and physiology “ has contents: The cardiovascular system, lymphoid system and defenses against disease, respiratory system, reproductive systems, digestive system, urinary system, study guides, and other contents. | 11 CHAPTER Blood CHAPTER OUTLINE Phillip, at the age of 35, has been actively donating blood at the local Red Cross chapter for ten years. Since he is type AB+, his whole blood donations can be used to help only type AB+ patients in need. However, at his last visit, Phillip learned that he had the ability to help more people by donating his platelets and plasma specifically. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can suffer from platelet deficiency, which results in an increased risk of bleeding. These patients usually benefit from platelet transfusions to supplement what their own bodies cannot produce. Plasma, specifically the proteins within it, is frequently used to treat many rare diseases, such as bleeding disorders, immune deficiency disorders, and rabies. Because Phillip has type AB+ blood, his plasma lacks antibodies that are capable of creating adverse reactions in people with other blood types. Since his plasma can be transfused into anyone with need safely, Phillip is considered a “universal plasma donor.” Phillip’s next appointment is in a few weeks and he is excited that, by donating specific blood components, he will be able to do so much for so many. 11.1 General Characteristics of Blood 11.2 Red Blood Cells • Hemoglobin • Concentration of Red Blood Cells • Production • Life Span and Destruction 11.3 White Blood Cells • Function • Types of White Blood Cells 11.4 Platelets 11.5 Plasma • Plasma Proteins • Nitrogenous Wastes • Electrolytes Module 9 Cardiovascular System 11.6 Hemostasis • Vascular Spasm • Platelet Plug Formation • Coagulation 11.7 Human Blood Types • ABO Blood Group • Rh Blood Group • Compatibility of Blood Types for Transfusions 11.8 Disorders of the Blood • Red Blood Cell Disorders • White Blood Cell Disorders • Disorders of Hemostasis Chapter Summary Self-Review Critical Thinking Part 4 Maintenance of the Body 241 SELECTED KEY TERMS Agglutination (agglutin = to stick together) The clumping of red blood cells in an .
