.What "drives' RBC production? What is the major plasma protein? Where is it produced? How does it function? 3. The typical lifespan of an RBC is 4. In the adult human, most old or damaged RBC's are broken down in the s. Ant-Rh antibodies are of the class. If your blood-type is "A-Pos", what blood antigens do your RBC's express? 7. If you are looking at a blood smear on your microscope in lab and you spot a WBC, it is most likely to be a you are looking at The WBCs which initiate allergic reactions are which release and these same reactions are down-regulated by the WBC's called when they release Fixed macrophages in the liver are called b brain are called e lungs are called skin are called 10.

Explanation / Answer
1. A hormone named "Erythropoietin" released from kidney & liver stimulates RBC production in response to low level of oxygen in body cells.
2. Serum albumin protein is major protein that found in blood. It accounts approximately a half (55%) of total blood protein. It is produced by liver.
FUNCTION: Serum albumin protein maintains osmotic pressure of blood plasma & It is also helpful in transportation of many steroidal hormones.
3. The typical life span of an RBC is 120 days.
4. In an adult human, most old or damaged RBCs are broken down in spleen & liver with the help of macrophages(engufing cells).
5. Anti-Rh or Rhesus antibodies are a immunoglobulin (Blood protein that provide a specific defence to body) .
which belongs to class IgG(Gamma- Immunoglobulin) .
6. If any person has A-positive type type of blood group then RBCs of blood have antigen -A . Since it has also a positive type, it mean blood has an additonal antigenic protein known as Rhesus factor that causes heamolytic disease in newborns.
7. If you are looking a blood smear on your microscope & you spot a WBC, It is most likely to be a monocyte( an agranulocytic leucocyte). Because monocytes are largest size leucocytes(WBCs) found in blood.
9. (a) The macrophages found in liver are called "Kupffer cells"( Phagocytic in nature).
(b) The macrophages found in brain are called Microglia( Neuroglial cells) those act as active immune type to
Central Nervous System.
(c) The macrophages found in lungs are called "Alveolar macrophages or Dust cells" those are foun in alveoli
of lungs.
(d) Skin macrophages are called Langerhans cells( LC). Those found in epidermis of skin.
10. All arteries carry oxygenated blood from heart to different body organs except one( Pulmonary artery). It
carries de-oxygenated blood from heart to lungs.
