BLOOD
8% of total body weight

Plasma is 55% of Blood

Keystone of the body's heat system regulator

Blood is main transportation fluid
Blood Volume
Male=5-6 liters
Female=4-5 liters

Body fat is main variable influencing blood volume.

1 unit of blood is 10% of total volume
What are the 2 methods of measurement for Blood Volume?
Direct-removal of all blood(only in corpses)

Inderect-Tag RBC or Plasma w/ radioisotopes
Formed Elements
used to designate the various kinds of blood cells that are normally present in blood (RBC,WHITE BLOOD CELLS,PLATELETS)
What is the average Hematacrit or Packed Cell Volume for average Male and Female?
Male=40%-54%-average 45%

Female=38%-47% average 42%
Erythrocytes(RBC)
Most numerous at 4.2-5.8 million per cubic mm

7.5 um in diameter

DO NOT CONTAIN NUCLEUS
What is the function of a RBC
Transportation of Respiratory gases(carbonic anhydrase,carbonic acid)

HEMOGLOBIN- gives the RBC its red pigment and is primary component of every RBC
Hemoglobin
Composed of 4 protein chains Globin bound to red pigment (heme) molecule

Makes up 95% of Cell

Hemoglobin has 4 iron atoms bind w/ oxygen.
Anemia
Hemoglobin of less than 10/g100ml of blood
Erythropoises
Entire process of RBC formation begins in RED bone marrow

every day moer than 200 million are formed.
RBC Destruction
105-120 days Macrophage cells ingest and destroy cells through Phagocytosis.

RBC'S destroyed at a rate of 100 million per minute.
Granulocytes
WBC'S containing large granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils
*Granulocyte

Cellular defense(phagocytosis of small pathogenic
microorganisms)

approx 65% of WBC
Eosinophils
GRANULOCYTE

Cellular defense(phagocytosis of large pathogenic microorganisms,releases anti-inflammatory substances in allergic reaction)

2%of WBC"S
BASOPHILS
GRANULOCYTE

Secrets HEPARIN (anticoagulant) and HISTAMINE (inflammatory response) 0.5%-1.0% of WBC'S
AGRANULOCYTES
WBC's NOT containing Large granules in their CYTOPLASM
LYMPHOCYTES
AGRANULOCYTE

Humoral DEFENSE (secrets antibodies)
MONOCYTE
AGRANULOCYTE

enters tissue space as a macrophage (phagoctotic cell capable of ingesting bacteria,cellular debris,and cancerous cells)
Diiferential WBC count
Procedure in which the different types of LEUKOCYTES are counted and their percentage of total WBC is computed
PLATELETS(THROMBOCYTES)
Important role in HEMOSTASIS stoppage of blood flow
releases clot-activating substance

helps form blood clot by formation of platelet plugs
THROMBOPOIESIS
Formation of Platelets
BLOOD TYPES
4 GROUPS
Antigen
Antigen-usually a protein fragment that causes an immune response

*Present on the surface of a RBC
ANTIBODY
Destroys or inactivates a specific substance (Antigen) that entered the body
ABO SYSTEM
Type A-Antigen A on RBC'S
ABO SYSTEM
TYPE A-Antigen A on RBC'S

Type B-Antigen B on RBC'S

Type AB-both antigen A and antigen B (universal recepient)

Type O-neither antigen A or B on RBC'S (universal Donor)
RH System
RH Positive-Means the RH antigen is present on it's RBC'S

RH NEG-blood whose Red Cells have no RH antigen present on them.
ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS
Mom -
Father+
Baby +
Blood Plasma
Plasma is the liquid portion of blood (whole blood minus formed elements)
*
90% water,10%solutes(ALBUMINS,GLOBULINS,CLOTTING PROTEINS) 6%-8% OF PLASMA
Albumins
aids in the regulation of Osmotic concentration of blood(PROTEIN)
GLOBULINS
Function as essential components of the immunity mechanism
Clotting Proteins
Play key roles in blood clotting mechanism(FIBROGEN)
BLOOD CLOTTING(COAGULATION)
13 CLOTTING FACTORS
What are the 4 critical components of coagulation?
Prothrombin
Thrombin
Fibrinogen
Fibrin
Stages of Clotting
extrinsic-caused by external damage

intrinsic-internal damage to the capillary wall
Blood serum
pale yellowish liquid left after clot is formed
Antithrombin
they oppose thrombin,which is used during clotting
Heparin
acts as a antithrombin,is naturally in the blood
conditions that speed clotting
A rough spot in the endothelium(blood vessel linning)and abnormally slow blood flow.
Fibrinolysis
Physiological mechanism that dissolves clots
Buffy coat
layer of Luekocytes and platelets between RBC'S and plasma in tube after it is spun down.
Formation of RBC
1. HEMOCYTOBLAST

2. PROERYTHROBLAST

3. -BASOPHILIC ERYTHROBLAST

4.POLYCHROMATIC ERYTHROBLAST

5.RETICULOCYTE(found in blood)

6.Mature Erythrocyte
Macrophage
through Phagocytosis breaks down RBC into IRON,Bilirubin,and Amino Acids
What is a glycoprotein secreted by the Liver and Kidneys to signal production of RBC'S
Erthropeotinigen
Platelets
in circulating blood appear as small pale bodies shaped like (irregular spindles or oval disks)
