blood makes up what percentage of human body weight?
5-7%
plasma is made up of:
H2O,
PROTEINS (carrier proteins, immunoproteins, coagulation proteins)
ELECTROLYTES
MINERALS
etc..
Blood Cells include:
RBCs (mature RBCs, reticulocytes, nucleated RBCs, erythroblasts)

MONOCYTES

PLATELETS (megakaryocytes, megakaryoblasts)
main site of hematopoises in first few weeks of gestation
YOLK SAC
main sites of hematopoiesis from 6 weeks until 6-7 months of fetal life
LIVER and SPLEEN

continue to be sites of hematopoiesis until about 2 weeks after birth
most important site of hematopoiesis from 6-7 months of fetal life and only source of new cells shortly after birth?
BONE MARROW
where are developing cells produced my bone marrow located?
developing cells are situated outside the bone marrow sinuses and mature cells are released into the sinus spaces
into what structures are mature blood cells produced my bone marrow released?
mature cells are released into:

-the sinus spaces
-the marrow microcirculation
-the general circulation
in infancy all the bone marrow is what?
HEMATOPOIETIC
during childhood bone marrow is progressively replaced by what in long bones?
marrow is progressively replaced by FAT
in adults, hematopoeietic marrow is confined to:
the axial skeleton

and proximal ends of the femurs and humeri

(even in hematopoeietic areas, the marrow consists of 50% fat)
sites that may produce hematopoetic cells in adults in TIMES OF NEED
marrow in sites replaced by fat

also in the liver and spleen (EXTRAMEDULLARY HEMATOPOIESIS)
sites of EXTRAMEDULLARY HEMATOPOIESIS
liver and spleen may become sites in times of need
all hematopoietic cells come from
a PLURIPOTENTIAL SELF-REPLICATING STEM CELL
what are cfu's?
colony forming units

stem cell precursors of hematopoeitic cells, that form "colonies on agar plates"
what are bfu's?
"burst forming units"

cfu's that grow looking like subursts (stem cell precursors of hematopoeitic cells, that form "colonies on agar plates")
most common way to id stem cells in the marrow
ANTIGENIC MARKERS

most common is CD34 expression
where to transfused stem cells home?
transfused stem cells home to and replicate in the BONE MARROW STROMA (the appropriate microenvironment for hematopoeitic cell dvpt)
growth factors responsible for hematopoietic dvpt
GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES
where do the GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES responsible for hematopoietic dvpt come from?
may be produced by local cells in the marrow (t-cells, MOs, endothelial cells and fibroblasts)

or

come through the circulation from distant sites (eg erythropoietin from the kdiney)
biological effects of GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES, the GROWTH FACTORS responsible for hematopoietic dvpt are MEDIATED BY:
specific cell surface receptors, which send signals to the nucleus to respond in certain ways
how many miles does our blood travel per day?
12,000
how many liters of blood are in our bodies?
5-6 liters
marrow of a normal adult contains > # hematopoietic cells?
1,000,000,000,000

(1x10^12)
typical hematopoietic production might average:
x RBCs/second
x WBCs/second
x platelets/second
3 million RBCs/second
27,000 WBCs/second
2-4 million platelets/ second
how much can hematopoietic production increase on demand?
by 5-10 fold
PLASMA makes up what percent of total blood volume?
it makes 55% of total blood volume
components of plasma
91% WATER
7% BLOOD PROTEINS(fibrinogen, albumin, globulin)
2% NUTRIENTS (amino acids, sugars, lipids)HORMONES (erythropoietin, insulin, etc) and ELECTROLYTES (na+, k+ and ca++, etc.)
Cellular Components make up what % of total blood volume
they make up 45% of total blood volume
CELLULAR COMPONENTS of blood can be centrifuged into:
BUFFY COAT:
-WBCs(7000-9000/mm^3 blood)
-platelets(250,000/mm^3 blood)

and

RBC component of TOTAL BLOOD VOLUME

typically ~45%
water makes up what percentage of blood volume?
~50%
Plasma makes up a little more than half of blood volume (55%)

Plasma is almost all water (91%)
What is the BUFFY COAT?

what is it used for?
white blood cells and platelets

used to look for infection, abnormal white cells
When is epsilon hgb made?
beginning of fetal life (really primitive) mostly between 1-3 months gestation
When is gamma hemoglobin made?
throughout fetal period and a few months post-natally
