T-cells Lymphocytes
Monocytes
B-cells Lymphocytes
Basophils
Neutrophils
Platelets
Eosinophils
Erythrocytes
insufficient oxygen is transported to the body's cells
anemia
failure of the bone marrow to produce adequate RBC
aplastic anemia
inadequate iron supply to manufacture hemoglobin
iron-deficiency anemia
inherited condition in which protein portion of hemoglobin folds incorrectly when oxygen levels are low, so oxygen is unable to properly bind with the hemoglobin
sickle cell anemia
increase in RBC
polycythemia
decrease in WBC below normal range
leukopenia
increase in WBC above normal range
leukocytosis
cancerous condition involving overproduction of abnormal WBC
leukemia (know 4 kinds)
1. distribution- O2, metabolic waste, hormones
2. regulation- body temp, pH, fluid volume
3. protection- preventing blood loss and infection
Functions of Blood
non-living fluid matrix
makes up 55% blood
composed of 90% water and over 100 different solutes (nutrients, gases, wastes, hormones, protein, inorganic ions, product of cell activity)
Blood Plasma
living blood cells
makes up 45% blood
formed in red bone marrow
composed of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets
formed elements
Most common formed element in the blood. 4-6 million RBC/ mm3 of blood
• Formed through a process called erythropoiesis
• At maturity, have no nucleus or any other cellular organelles
• Biconcave shape (edges thicker than middle)
Erythrocyte (RBC)
transport O2 and CO2
Erythrocyte Function
Number of erythrocytes per unit of blood
• Normal RBC count:
• Males = 5.1-5.8 mill/mm3****
• Females = 4.3-5.2 mill/mm3****
• Major factor contributing to blood viscosity
Total RBC Count
Spherical, nucleated cells
General Function: Defense and Immunity Able to leave the blood and enter other
body tissues
Come in 5 Specific Types
Total WBC count: Number of leukocytes per unit of blood
Normal 4800-10,800/ mm3 blood****
Differential WBC count: The percentage of the different types of leukocytes present in the blood
Leukocytes (WBC)
1.Granulocytes – Leukocytes that contain granules for chemical defense
2.Agranulocytes – Leukocytes that lack cytoplasmic granules
Five (6) Types:
• Neutrophils • Lymphocytes
– T-cells
– B-cells • Monocytes
• Eosinophils • Basophils
Two Categories of Leukocytes
50% -­‐ 70% of the Leukocytes 3000-­‐7000 cells/mm3 blood
• Mul8-­‐lobed nucleus (oQen tri-­‐ lobed)
• Granulocytes: Cytoplasmic granules stain purple-­‐pink
neutrophil
• 25% -­‐ 45% of the Leukocytes • 1500-­‐3000 cells/mm3 blood
• Agranulocytes
-T-­‐Cell
• Round nucleus takes up most of the cytoplasm

-B-­‐Cell
• Large bean-­‐shaped nucleus
lymphocyte
3% -­‐ 8% of the Leukocytes 100-­‐700 /mm3 blood
• Largest leukocyte with a large U or Kidney-­‐shaped nucleus
• Agranulocytes
monocyte
2% -­‐ 4% of the Leukocytes 100-­‐400 / mm3 blood
• Bi-­‐lobed nucleus and red granules
• Granulocytes: Cytoplasmic granules stain orange-­‐red
eosinophil
0.5-­‐ 1% of the Leukocytes 20-­‐50 /mm3 blood
• Bi-­‐lobed nucleus (U or S shaped) and blue cytoplasmic granules
• Granulocytes
basophil
150,000-­‐400,000 /mm3
blood
• Not true cells – formed from the breakup of large cells called Megakaryocytes
• Granules stain deep purple
Platelets (Thrombocytes)
percentage of whole blood made up of erythrocytes
Normal Hematocrit:
• Males.......... 42-52% • Females....... 37-47%
-above-polycythemia, below-anemia
hematocrit
Polycythemia,
Congestive heart failure,
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Dwelling at high altitude,
Causes of Increased Hemoglobin
Anemia, Hyperthyroidism, Cirrhosis of the liver, Renal disease, Systemic lupus Erythematous Severe hemorrhage
causes of decreased hemoglobin
Male 13-18 g/100 ml blood Female 12-16 g/100 ml blood
normal blood hemoglobin
when antibodies cross the placenta blood barrier and attack the erythrocytes of the fetus
erythroblastosis fetalis
Between 100- 200 mg/deciliter of blood
desirable blood levels
Between 200- 239mg/dl of blood
borderline high cholesterol
Over 240mg/dl
Increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
High Cholesterol = Hypercholesterolemia
Below 100 mg/dl
hyperthyroidism,
liver disease,
inadequate absorption of nutrient from the intestine. Linked to depression, anxiety.
Low Cholesterol = Hypocholesterolemia
1. Myeloid (granulocytic) from myeloid cells
2. Lymphocytic from Lymphyocytes
3. Acute (quick advancing) from stem cells
4. Chronic (slow advancing) from later stage cells
types of leukemia
• Function:
During an acute infection, phagocytosis of bacteria and fungi followed by enzymatic destruction
neutrophil
• Function:
Attack viruses & tumors
T-cell lymphocyte
• Function:
When stimulated by bacteria or toxins, they differentiate into plasma cells. These plasma cells then produce and secrete antigen-­‐ specific antibodies
B-cell lymphocyte
• Function:
Phagocytosis: Differentiate into macrophages in issues for phagocytosis
monocyte
• Functions:
– Attack parasitic worms
– Play a complex role in allergy and asthma
– Lessens the severity of allergic reactions
Eosinophil
• Function:
– Releases histamine and other mediators of inflammation
– Contains Heparin (blood thinner)
– Increases allergic reactions
basophil
• Function:
– Seal small openings in blood vessels
– Instrumental in blood clotting
