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 |

|
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 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)

|
|
What are the 4 critical components of coagulation?
|
