Blood and Immunity — Flashcards

Anemia is associated with _____ SaO2, decreased O2 content, and normal PaO2

CD-_____ is a co-receptor for TLR4 found on macrophages that recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on gram-negative bacteria

_____ in 2,3-BPG cause the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift to the left

Cytotoxic T cells may induce apoptosis of target cells via binding of _____ to Fas, which causes release of TNF

Methemoglobinemia is associated with _____ SaO2, decreased O2 content, and normal PaO2

Aggregation is a balance between pro and anti aggregation factors:Pro-aggregation - _____ - released by plateletsAnti-aggregation - PGI2 and NO - released by endothelial cells

The _____ shape of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is due to positive cooperativity (increased affinity for each sucessive O2 bound)

_____ in 2,3-BPG cause the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift to the right

Inhibition of Gi via the pertussis toxin inhibits _____ receptors on lymphocytes

Raised ESR in pregnancy is due to an increase in _____ and globulin levels.
