Erythropoetin
|
released from certain cells in the kidney in response to low 02 levels in the blood.
travels in the bloodstream to bone marrow, where it triggers differentiation pf pluripotent cells to erythrocytes. |
|
differentiation
|
During ____________, erythrocytes produce hemoglobin & lose their nuclei and organelles.
|
|
reticulocyte
|
The last cell stage prior to becoming a mature erythrocyte is the ___________, a RBC w/some ribosomes still present in the cytoplasm, giving the cell a web like or reticular appearance.
|
|
iron
folic acid vit. B12 |
What are the requirments of erythrocyte production?
|
|
Iron
|
required for syntheis of hemoglobin
stored in liver released from old erythrocytes required in diet |
|
Folic acid & B12
|
necessary for synthesis of DNA
help w/ rapid production of erythrocytes. |
|
erythropoesis
hemoglobin anemia |
A shortage of dietary elements for ____________ can produce either a reduction in amount of __________ per cell or a reduction in the # of erythrocytes in the blood, a condition called ________.
|
|
iron deficiency anemia
|
due to the lack of iron in the diet
erythrocytes are smaller than normal due to decreased amount of hemoglobin per erythrocyte. |
|
Pernicious anemia
|
due to the lack of vit. B12
larger erythrocytes due to the lack of # of erythrocytes. |
|
hemorrhage
|
Anemia can also result from ___________ or an abnormally high rate of erythrocyte destruction (hemolysis).
|
|
Symptoms of anemia
|
chronic fatigue
shortness of breath upon exertion |
|
spleen
|
store blood cells
removes old erythrocytes have microphages that destroy erythrocytes hemoglobin is catabolized here |
|
Bilirubin
|
a yellow compound
after iron is removed, the resulting heme is converted to __________. travels to liver where it is catabolized further secreted in bile of S.I. and excreted in feces. gives feces a brown tinge some travel to kidneys and are excreted in urine impart in yellowish color of urine jaundice |
|
hemoglobin
|
Iron that is released by __________ catabolism is recycled to form new __________.
|
|
Transferrin
|
transports iron
picks up iron in G.I. tract or spleen & transports in to red bone marrow for erythrocyte synthesis can be taken to liver to be stored bound to the protein ferritin. |
|
ferritin
|
a protein that bounds to iron in the liver, spleen, and cells lining of S.I.
|
|
Leukocytes
|
nucleated
possess all normal cellular machinery Only fully functional in blood Mobile- can squeese through pores in caps and migrate through tissue. Defend body against invading microorganisms & foreign materials Role in immunity |
|
Granulocytes
|
neutrophils
eosinophils basophils Have prominent protein - containing vesicles in their cytoplasm (cytoplasmic granules) |
|
Agranulocytes
|
monocytes
lymphocytes do NOT have prominent granules |
|
wright's strain
|
Each leukocyte type is traditionally identified by its reaction w/ _________ _______, which reveals its distinctive nuclear shape & cytoplasmic color.
|
|
Neutrophils
|
50-80% of leukocytes
Phagocytic - attack paracites invading the body that are too big to engulf. Mount (attach) to parasites bodies & discharge toxic molecules from cytoplasmic granules Weak Damage normal tissue Trigger allergic reaction |
|
Basophils
|
Nonphagocytic cells
Release histamine, herapin, that lead to allergic reaction such as hay fever less than 1% of leukocytes |
|
Monocytes
|
phagocytosis
macrophages "big eater" wandering macrophages fixed macrophages |
|
Lymphocytes
|
found in interstitial fluid
Lack cell membrane components B cells T cells null cells - natural killer (NK) |
|
Megakarocytes
|
platelets are colorless cell fragments that arise when portions of long bone marrow cells break off.
|
|
Megokarocytes
|
smaller than erythrocytes
no nucleus mitochondria smooth E.R. cytoplasmic granules trigger events leading to blood clotting. |
|
hemostasis
|
mechanisms that stop the bleeding.
|
|
hemostasis
|
vascular spasms
platelet plug formation of blood clot |
|
vascular spasm
|
Damaged blood vessel leads to intrinsic mechanisms that trigger vasocontriction
Blood loss is minimized |
|
Platelet plug
|
platelets (thromocytes) - non nucleated fragments of megakarocytes
"Sticky" von Willebrand factor (vWF) platelet adhesion - when blood vessel damage exposes tissue underlying the endothelium platelet aggregation - ADP changes in platelets to adhere to one another ADP stimulates the production of Thromboxane A2 Arachidonic acid - gives rise to TXA2 High concentrations of protein (actin & myosin) |
|
Formation of a blood clot
|
need fibrin
fibrin clots coagulation cascade - a series of reaction resulting in formation of a fibrin clot fibrogen Fibrin molecules stick to each other forming a network of strands Fibrin stabilizing factor (XIII) links the networks of fibrin. |
|
coagulation factors
|
plasma proteins which are always present in the plasma in their inactive form, undergo a series of proteolytic activations resulting from hydrolysis of certain peptide bonds.
|
|
fibrogen
|
In clot formation, a filamentous plasma protein converts into its active form fibrin.
|
|
Thrombin
|
catalyzes fibrogen to fibrin
activates XIII positive feedback for its own activation additional platelet aggregation stimulates platelets to secrete several products |
|
Intrinsic pathway
X thrombin |
__________ __________, in clot formation, starts w/ hagemans factor (XII) which is activated by contact of substances in subendothelium (collagen & phospholipids). XII activation leads to factor __ activation, and then leads to activation of _________, and fibrin formation.
|
|
Extrinsic pathway
VII & tissue factor |
__________ __________, in blood clotting, starts w/ the tissue factor (III) when in contact w/plasma & reacts w/ factors (VII). Active ____ & _______ _______ activates factor X, leads to activatio of thrombin.
