EXAM 3 ANATOMY LECTURE 32: BLOOD
EXAM 3 ANATOMY LECTURE 32: BLOOD
Blood vol for male and female:
Male: 5-6L
Female: 4-5L
Components of blood
1. Plasma 55%
2. buffy coat (composed of leukocytes and platelets)
3. RBCs (45%)--> hct
Formed elements of blood
Erythrocytes: rbc's

Leukocytes
1. neutrophil
2. lymphocyte
3. monocyte
4. basophil
Mneumonics for Least-->Most numberous leukocytes:
Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas.

L: lymphocytes
M: monocytes
Leukocytes
Antigen presence--> cytokines released--> attract circulating leukocytes--> leave capillaries via diapedesis.
Platelets
250-400K
Lifespan: 5-9 dys
No nucleus
Many granules
How are platelets removed?
By macrophages in spleen and liver.
What is a megakaryocyte:
Platelet precursor
1. large
2. in red bone marrow
3. multilobulated nucleus
How does platelet participate in blood clotting?
It releases thromboplastin--> fibrinogen to fibrin--> polymerizes into fibers that form a clot.
Nitric Oxide (NO)
1. Vasodilator
2. Respiratory by-product
3. Short life span
RBC
1. 99% of blood cells
2. biconcave shape
3. Anuclear
4. no organelles (nucleus, mito, ER, golgi)
5. cannot divide
6. 100-120 dys
7. constantly regenerating in bone marrow.
Granular leukocytes
1. single multilobed nucleus
2. prominent granules
Agranular leukocytes
1. NON-lobulated nucleus
2. no granules
Neutrophil
1. 60-70% of wbc
2. lobulated nucleus
3. very mobile
4. phagocytosis
Barr bodies
Can be seen on nucleus of neutrophils.
Eosinophil
1. Decrease allergic rxn (degrade histamine, and phagocytosis)
2. antiparasitic
3. diurnal (most numerous in morning, and least at night)
Basophil
1. lobulated and irregular nucleus.
2. RELEASE granules to increase granulation
a. immune response
b. bee sting
c. allergic asthma
3. granules contain histamine
4. weakly phagocytic
Lymphocytes
Most important cells of the immune system.

B lymphoctyes mature in bone marrow. B cells make antibodies.

T lymphocytes mature in thymus. T cells attack and kill.

Increase with viral infections.
What is the birth place of T and B lymphocytes?
In bone marrow.

NOTE:
T cells mature in thymus
B cells mature in red bone marrow

After maturation, they are situated in the lymph nodes, spleen, and other lymphoid tissues.
What are some examples of tissue specific phagocytic cells of monocyte lineage?
1. kupffer cells for liver
2. microglia for CNS
3. langerhans for skin
4. osteoclasts for bone marrow
What germ layer is hemopoiesis derived from?
Mesoderm
The mesoderm eventually differentiate to what type of stem cell?
Hemopoietic (pluripotent) stem cell
What are the 2 types of multipotential stem cells?
1. myeloid stem cells (in red bone marrow)
2. lymphoid stem cells (in red bone marrow and finish development in other lymphoid tissue)
What cells does myeloid stem cells include?
1. rbc
2. platelets
3. granular leukocytes
4. monocytes
What cells are of lymphoid stem cell origin?
1. B lymphocyte
2. T lymphocyte
What are the regulatory factors of hemopoiesis?
1. hormones
a. erythropoietin: rbc's
b. thrombopoietin: platelets
2. cytokines: i.e. interleukin
