BLOOD The Red Sea

Functions of Blood Blood performs a number of functions dealing with: Substance distribution Regulation of blood levels of particular substances Body protection Functions of Blood

Blood Functions: Distribution Blood transports: Oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from the digestive tract Metabolic wastes from cells to the lungs and kidneys for elimination Hormones from endocrine glands to target organs Blood Functions: Distribution

Blood Functions: Regulation Blood maintains: Appropriate body temperature by absorbing and distributing heat to other parts of the body Normal pH in body tissues using buffer systems Adequate fluid volume in the circulatory system Blood Functions: Regulation

Blood Functions: Protection Blood prevents blood loss by: Activating plasma proteins and platelets Initiating clot formation when a vessel is broken Blood prevents infection by: Synthesizing and utilizing antibodies Activating complement proteins Activating WBCs to defend the body against foreign invaders Blood Functions: Protection

Physical Characteristics of Blood Average volume of blood: 5–6 L for males; 4–5 L for females (Normovolemia) Hypovolemia - low blood volume Hypervolemia - high blood volume Viscosity (thickness) - 4 - 5 (where water = 1) The pH of blood is 7.35–7.45; x = 7.4 Temperature is 38C, slightly higher than “normal” body temperature Blood accounts for approximately 8% of body weight

Blood is the body’s only fluid tissue (a connective tissue) 2 major components Liquid = plasma (55%) Formed elements (45%) Erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs) Leukocytes, or white blood cells (WBCs) Platelets - fragments of megakaryocytes in marrow Composition of Blood

Components of Whole Blood Plasma (55% of whole blood) Buffy coat: leukocyctes and platelets (<1% of whole blood) Centrifuge Erythrocytes (45% of whole blood) Withdraw blood and place in tube Components of Whole Blood Formed elements 1 2 Plasma- 55% Platelets- 0.17% Red- 45%

Blood Plasma Blood plasma components: Water = 90-92% Proteins = 6-8% Albumins; maintain osmotic pressure of the blood Globulins Alpha and beta globulins are used for transport purposes Gamma globulins are the immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, etc) Fibrinogen; a clotting protein Organic nutrients – glucose, carbohydrates, amino acids Electrolytes – sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate Nonprotein nitrogenous substances – lactic acid, urea, creatinine Respiratory gases – oxygen and carbon dioxide

Formed Elements Formed elements comprise 45% of blood Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets make up the formed elements Only WBCs are complete cells RBCs have no nuclei or organelles, and platelets are just cell fragments Most formed elements survive in the bloodstream for only a few days Most blood cells do not divide but are renewed by cells in bone marrow

Erythrocytes (RBCs) Biconcave disc Folding increases surface area (30% more surface area) Anucleate, no centrioles, no organelles End result - no cell division No mitochondria means they generate ATP anaerobically Prevents consumption of O2 being transported Filled with hemoglobin (Hb) - 97% of cell contents Hb functions in gas transport Hb + O2 HbO2 (oxyhemoglobin)

Erythrocytes (RBCs) Figure 17.3

Erythrocyte Function Erythrocytes are dedicated to respiratory gas transport Hemoglobin reversibly binds with oxygen and most oxygen in the blood is bound to hemoglobin Composition of hemoglobin A protein called globin A heme molecule Each heme group bears an atom of iron, which can bind to one oxygen molecule Each hemoglobin molecule thus can transport four molecules of oxygen

Structure of Hemoglobin Figure 17.4

Fate and Destruction of Erythrocytes The life span of an erythrocyte is 100–120 days Travels about 750 miles in that time (LA to Albuquerque) Old erythrocytes become rigid and fragile, and their hemoglobin begins to degenerate Dying erythrocytes are engulfed by macrophages Heme and globin are separated Iron is removed from the heme and salvaged for reuse Fate and Destruction of Erythrocytes

Stages of Differentiation of Blood Cells Figure 17.9

Production of Erythrocytes Hematopoiesis – blood cell formation Occurs in the red bone marrow (myeloid tissue) Axial skeleton and girdles Epiphyses of the humerus and femur Marrow contains immature erythrocytes Composed of reticular connective tissue Hemocytoblasts give rise to ALL formed elements Production of Erythrocytes

Production of Erythrocytes: Erythropoiesis

Regulation and Requirements for Erythropoiesis Circulating erythrocytes – the number remains constant and reflects a balance between RBC production and destruction Too few red blood cells leads to tissue hypoxia Too many red blood cells causes undesirable blood viscosity Erythropoiesis is hormonally controlled and depends on adequate supplies of iron, amino acids, and B vitamins

Erythropoietin Mechanism Imbalance Start Normal blood oxygen levels Stimulus: Hypoxia due to decreased RBC count, decreased availability of O2 to blood, or increased tissue demands for O2 Imbalance Increases O2-carrying ability of blood Reduces O2 levels in blood Erythropoietin stimulates red bone marrow Kidney (and liver to a smaller extent) releases erythropoietin Enhanced erythropoiesis increases RBC count Figure 17.6

Dietary Requirements of Erythropoiesis Erythropoiesis requires: Proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates Iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid The body stores iron in Hb (65%), the liver, spleen, and bone marrow Intracellular iron is stored in protein-iron complexes such as ferritin and hemosiderin Circulating iron is loosely bound to the transport protein transferrin

Erythrocyte Disorders Polycythemia Abnormal excess of erythrocytes Increases viscosity, decreases flow rate of blood Anemia – blood has abnormally low oxygen-carrying capacity It is a symptom rather than a disease itself Blood oxygen levels cannot support normal metabolism Signs/symptoms include fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath, and chills

Anemia: Decreased Hemoglobin Content Iron-deficiency anemia results from: A secondary result of hemorrhagic anemia Inadequate intake of iron-containing foods Impaired iron absorption Pernicious anemia results from: Deficiency of vitamin B12 Lack of intrinsic factor needed for absorption of B12 Treatment is intramuscular injection of B12

Anemia: Abnormal Hemoglobin Thalassemias – absent or faulty globin chain in hemoglobin Erythrocytes are thin, delicate, and deficient in hemoglobin Sickle-cell anemia – results from a defective gene Codes for an abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S (HbS) This defect causes RBCs to become sickle-shaped in low oxygen situations

Leukocytes (WBCs) Leukocytes, the only blood components that are complete cells: 4,800 - 10,000/cubic millimeter Protect the body from infectious microorganisms Move through tissue spaces (amoeboid motion) Many are phagocytic (possess numerous lysosomes) Two major types of leukocytes Granulocytes: Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils Agranulocytes: Monocytes, Lymphyocytes Leukocytosis – WBC count over 11,000/mm3 Normal response to bacterial or viral invasion Leukopenia - a decrease in WBC count below 4,800/mm3 Leukemia - a cancer of WBC

Leukocytes Disorders: Leukemias Leukemia refers to cancerous conditions involving white blood cells Leukemias are named according to the abnormal white blood cells involved Myelocytic leukemia – involves myeloblasts Lymphocytic leukemia – involves lymphocytes Acute leukemia involves blast-type cells and primarily affects children Chronic leukemia is more prevalent in older people Leukocytes Disorders: Leukemias

Leukemia Immature white blood cells are found in the bloodstream in all leukemias Bone marrow becomes totally occupied with cancerous leukocytes Severe anemia ensues due to excess production of WBC’s The white blood cells produced, though numerous, are not functional Death is caused by internal hemorrhage and overwhelming infections Treatments include irradiation, antileukemic drugs, and bone marrow transplants

Platelets Platelets are fragments of megakaryocytes Their granules contain serotonin, Ca2+, enzymes, ADP, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) Platelets function in the clotting mechanism by forming a temporary plug that helps seal breaks in blood vessels Platelets not involved in clotting are kept inactive by Nitric Oxide (NO) and prostaglandins

Human Blood Groups RBC membranes have glycoprotein antigens on their external surfaces These antigens are: Unique to the individual Recognized as foreign if transfused into another individual Presence or absence of these antigens is used to classify blood groups

Humans have 30 varieties of naturally occurring RBC antigens The antigens of the ABO and Rh blood groups cause vigorous transfusion reactions when they are improperly transfused Other blood groups (M, N, Dufy, Kell, and Lewis) are mainly used for legalities Blood Groups

ABO Blood Groups The ABO blood groups consists of: Two antigens (A and B) on the surface of the RBCs Two antibodies in the plasma (anti-A and anti-B) An individual with ABO blood may have various types of antigens and spontaneously preformed antibodies Agglutinogens and their corresponding antibodies cannot be mixed without serious hemolytic reactions ABO Blood Groups
