Blood Transports (7)

Food


Gases


Wastes


Hormones - chemical messengers


Proteins


White blood cells - fight infection


Platelets - clotter

Blood Composition

1. Cells = formed elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes)


2. Plasma: (water, protein, sugar, salts, hormones, vitamins, and wastes)

Erythrocytes

Red blood cells transport nutrients and oxygen, made in bone marrow


Immature = erythroblast

Leukocytes

White blood cells play an important role in immune response, fight infections

Thrombocyte

platelets clot blood

Macrophages

spleen, liver


Invest foreign material

Phagocyte

East worn out cells

Hematopoiesis

Stages in blood development

Hematopoiesis stages

1. Erythroblast - normoblast - reticulocyte - erythrocyte


2. Myoblast


3. Monoblast - Monocyte


4. Lympoblast - lymphocyte


5. Megakaryoblast - megakaryocyte - thrombocyte

Erythrocytes (RBCs)

-Most numerous of blood cells, biconcave


-Produced in bone marrow, filled with hemoglobin, 120 day life


-hemoglobin: iron containing protein allows RBCs to carry O2


Leukocytes (WBCs)

1. Basophils: contain heparin (prevent clotting) and histamine (allergic response)


2. Asinophils: parasitic cells involved in allergic responses and parasitic infections


3. Neutrophils: phagocytic cells that accumulate at sites of infection (phagocytosis)


4. Monocyte: phagocytic cells that become macrophages and digest cell and tissue debris


5. Lymphocytes: control the immune response, make antibodies into antigens

Thrombocytes

Platelets, formed in the red bone marrow, helps blood clot (coagulation)

Coagulation stages

1. tissue factors, clotting factors and platelets activate….


2. Factor X (w/ calcium)


3. Prothrombin to...


4. Thrombin (an enzyme)


5. Fibringer to...


6. Fibrin clot!!!


****<15 minutes

CBC

Complete Blood Count

Plasma

1. Albumin: maintains proper proportion of water in blood


2. Globulins: alpha, beta and gamma


3. Fibrinogen: clotting protein


4. Prothrombin: clotting protein

Stem Cells

1. Can develop into different cell types (divide, renew, unspecialized)


2. May offer a renewable source of replacement cells to treat disease


3. Embryonic stem cells, derived from embryos


4. Adult stem cells (somatic stem cells)

Blood Types

Type A = A antigen and anti-b antibody


Type B = B antigen and anti-A antibody


Type AB = A and B antigens and no antibodies


Type O = no A or B antigens and both anti-A and anti-B antibodies



RH Factor = +/-, important to match to prevent hemolysis

Anemia

Deficiency in erythrocytes or hemoglobin, just don't enough oxygen for your body

Types of Anemia (6)

1. iron deficiency - most common


2. aplastic


3. hemolytic


4. pernicious


5. sickle cell


6. thalassemia - mediterranean decent


Aplastic (anemia)

Failure of blood cell production due to aplasia or absence of cell formation in bone morrow

Hemolytic (anemia)

Reduction in red cells due to excessive destruction

Pernicious (anemia)

Lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absurd vit. B12 into the body

Sickle Cell (anemia)

Hereditary disease characterized by abnormal sickle shape of erythrocytes and by hemolysis

Thalassemia (anemia)

Inherited defect in the ability to produce hemoglabin

Hemochromatosis

Excess iron deposits throughout the body

Polycythemia

General increase in red blood cell


**stretches vessels - clots - blow heart out

Hemophilia

Rare inherited disorder in which blood does not clot due to deficiency of blood clotting factors (excessive bleeding)
(abnormal condition, attracted to blood)

Purpura

Multiple pinpoint hemorrhages and accumulation of blood under the skin

Granulocytosis

Abnormal increase in granulocytes in the blood (increase of neutrophils)

Leukemia (4 types)

Increase in cancerous WBCs


1. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)


2. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)


3. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)


4. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

Mononucleosis

Infected disease marked by increased numbers of leukocytes and enlarged cervical lymph nodes (cause by the Epstein-Barr Virus EBV)
