1. Cells = formed elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes) 2. Plasma: (water, protein, sugar, salts, hormones, vitamins, and wastes) |
|

Stages in blood development |
|

|
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 |

|
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 |
