What is a fibrous protein that gives shape to an RBC plasma membrane?
spectrin
What effect does running have on RBC count?
Blood consists of red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma. Plasma, which constitutes for more than half of normal blood, is about 90% water, thus dehydration can cause a relative increase in RBC count (i.e. there is no real increase in the cell count but decrease in the plasma component).
What are the 3 kind or components of blood?
There are three cellular components: Red cells (RBC), white cells (WBC) and platelets (fragments of megakaryocytes). Plasma is the liquid portion.
Are the equal number of red and white blood cells?
Not even close. By volume, the blood is around 40-50% RBC and only about 1% WBC.
What are the main factors that contribute to blood osmolarity?
Several things affect blood osmolarity such as solute concentration, # of RBC's, albumin, salt, NaCl.
What four properties of blood affect the esr?
1. plasma proteins 2. rbc shape 3. rbc size 4. rbc count
What is the ratio of WBC to RBC?
1 to 2 WBC TO 1000 RBC
Long term athletic training will cause a person to increase hematocrit?
No, their hematocrit will decrease. Though they may gain RBC, their plasma volume will have a greater increase in volume, thus decreasing the hematocrit concentration.

What are two physiological advantages of red blood cell structure?
There shape confers them a degree of flexibility as some capillaries are smaller than the diameter of a RBC. Secondly, the biconcave shape of the RBC gives it an ideal surface area to volume ratio for maximum gas exchange.
What is the composition of blood?
Blood Composition * Plasma * RBCs * White Blood Cells * Blood Platelets
