Blood

• Liquid part of the cardiovascular system.


Function of Blood:

1. To transport materials to & from cells.


O2 & CO2 (Lungs)


• Nutrients (GIT)


• Hormones (Endocrine)


• Waste products (To the kidney/Liver)

Function of Blood:

2. Regulation of pH & ions: Eliminates deficiencies & excesses of Ca & K, Absorbs Lactic Acid.


3. Restricts fluid losses at injury sites: Enzymes that cause clotting


4. Defense against toxins/pathogens: WBC & Antibodies.


5. Stabilization of body trmparature: Redistributes heat from sleletal muscles.

Components of whole blood(LCT)

Plasma


•Fluid Matrix


•water •Plasma protein-in solution • other solution


Formed elements: •All cells,fragments & solids • Suspended in Plasma •Produced by Hematopoiesis.


Myeloid &Lymphoid Stem Cells.

Blood

• Whole Blood=Plasma+Formed elements


Fractionation - Spinning of Blood


- Process of sperating whole blood for clinical analysis/use. Into plasma and formed elements.

Source of Whole blood

Venous Blood- Used for most lab examinations/Blood Donation. From vein by phlebotomy. (Dark Red/purple


Arterial Blood- From Arteries, usef for Blood gases & pH. (Bright Red)


Capillary Blood- Used for some tests & for blood from infants. (Bright Red)

Three Basic Physical Characteristic of Blood:

• Temp; 38°C (100.4°F) is above normal body temperature


5 times as Viscous as water


Slightly alkaline pH (7.35-7.45)


Blood volume: 7% body weight(kg)


•Male: 5-6L •Female: 4-5L


• Diff. Due to size. • Whole blood volume of 70kg man= 4.9L

What is the liquid compent on blood?

Plasma

Plasma

• Makes up 55% of Whole blood Vol.


• More than 90% of plasma is water


Extracellular fluids(ECF)


- Interstital fuid(IF) & plasma


- Materials in the plasma & IF exchange across capillary walls : Water, Ions, Small solutes.

Difference between Plasma & IF

• Levels of O2 & CO2


- Tissue Cell Metabolism


- IF has high CO2 & Low O2


• Concentrations & types of dissolved protiens


- Plasma protien do not pass through capillary walls


- IF has 5x less PP concentration.

Plasma protien

Albumins (60%)


- Transport substances such as fatty acids, thyroid hormones, & steroid hormones.


Globulins (35%)


- Immunoglobulins-antibodies that fight infections


- From Transport Globulins: small molecules,hormines lost at kidney


- Hormone-binding protiens: Thyroid Binding Globulin,(T3/T4),Transcription, (ACTH)

Fibrin

Fribrinogen (4%)


- Molecules that form clots and produce long, insoluble strands of fibrin,clot framework.


• Serum: Plasma minus fibrinogen & clotting protien. *Does not have the ability to clot.

3 types of formed Elements

• Red blood cells(RBCs) or erythrocytes : Transport oxygen- 5million/microL


White Blood Cells (WBCs) or leukocytes : Part of the immune system- 5-10 thousand/microL


Platelets : Cell fragments (clotting)-500 thousand/microL

Rule of 5th

1. Blood vol: 5L


Plasma vol: 55%


Cells: 45%(pack cells no hematocrit)


2. RBC-5×10^6=5


3. WBC-(5-10)×10^5


4. Platelets-500×10^3

Hemoglobin

• Binds & transport oxygen & carbon dioxide

Red blood cell count:

• the number of RBCs in 1microliter of whole blood.


• Male: 4.5-6.3 miliion


• Female: 4.2-5.5 million


Hematoctit (packed cell volume, PCV): % of RBCs in centrifuged whole blood. • Male: 40-50(47) •Female: 37-47(42)

Hematocrit (HCT) 45

Conditions Affecting.


Increase


• Dehydration • After EPO


Decrease


• Blood loss • Improper RBC formation

RBC

• High suface-to-volume ratio


• Quickly absorbs & releases O2


Disc from stacks called rouleaux


•Smooth the flow through narrow blood vessels


• Disc bend & flex entering small capillaries.

RBC Life Span

• Lifespan of RBCs is 120 days * Cannot repair themselves


- no repair - Anaerobic metabolism- (Glucose from plasma) - Cannot use O2 : must deliver all to body cells

Hemoglobin (Hb)☆ 15gms

• Protien molecule that transport respiratory gasses


95% of intracellular protiens


Normal hemoglobin: • 14-18g/dL: Male • 12-16g/dL: Female

Hemoglobin Structure

• Four globular protein subunits:


• 2 Alpha & 2 Beta chains


• Each with one molecule of heme


Each heme contains one iron ion


Iron ions


• weak bonds • Associated easily w/ O2 (oxyhemoglobin) - bright red • Dissociate easily from O2 (deoxyhemoglobin)

Hemoglobin function

• 98.5% of O2 in Blood stream is bound to Hbg


• Hemoglobin releases O2


• Binds carbon Dioxide


carbaminohemoglobin

RBC turnover

• Microphages of liver,spleen, & bone marrow


• Engulf RBCs before membranes rupture (hemolyze)

RBC turnover

90% taken up by macrophages


• 10% hemolyze or rupture

Know

RBC Production

• Erythropoiesis


vessels od Yolk Sac in embryo


Liver & Spleen in fetus


• Occurs only in myeloid tissue (red bone marrow) in adults

Hemocytoblasts

Stem cells (in myeloid tissue) divide to produce


-Myeloid stem cells: become RBCs, some WBCs


-Lymphoid stem cells: become lymphocytes


• Cells becoming RBC become proerythoblast then Erythroblast


- at day 5 (the normiblast) necleus sheds & becomes a reticulocyte.


- Enters circul. at day 7, mature RBC at day 8

Regulation of Erythopoiesis

• Buildind res blood cells requires:


-Amino acids -Iron -Vitamin B12

Stimulating hormones

• Erythropotietin (EPO)-(Kidney)


• also called erythropoirsis stimulating hormone


• (hypoxia)

Blood type

• Amtigens - RBC surfaces protien that identify cells to immune system


Surface Antigens A,B,Rh,(D)


• RBC Plasma membrane

Four basic Blood types

• A (Surface antigen A)


• B (Surface antigen B)


• AB (Antigen A & B)


• O (Neither A nor B)

AB+ is what accepter

• Universal Acceptor

O- is what donor

• Universal Donor
