White blood cells Platelets Red blood cells Artery
3
Deliver O2 Remove metabolic wastes Maintain temperature, pH, and fluid volume Protection from blood loss- platelets Prevent infection- antibodies and WBC Transport hormones
4
Plasma- 55% Formed elements- 45% Buffy coat- <1%
5
90% Water 8% Solutes: –Proteins –Gas –Electrolytes
6
Organic Nutrients Carbohydrates Amino Acids Lipids Vitamins Hormones Metabolic waste CO 2 Urea
7
Leukocytes Platelets
8
Types of Blood Cells Erythrocytes (red blood cells) Leukocytes (white blood cells) Platelets (thrombocytes)
9
Erythrocytes
10
Erythrocyte 7.5 m in dia Anucleate (no nucleus)- so can't reproduce; however, reproduced in red bone marrow Hematopoiesis- production of RBC Function- transport respiratory gases Hemoglobin- quaternary structure, 2 chains and 2 chains Lack mitochondria. Why? 1 RBC contains 280 million hemoglobin molecules Men- 5 million cells/mm 3 Women- 4.5 million cells/mm 3 Life span 100-120 days and then destroyed in spleen (RBC graveyard)
11
Hemoglobin
12
Hematopoiesis Hematopoiesis (hemopoiesis): blood cell formation –Occurs in red bone marrow of axial skeleton, girdles and proximal epiphyses of humerus and femur
13
Blood Cell Production
14
Anemia- when blood has low O 2 carrying capacity; insufficient RBC or iron deficiency. Factors that can cause anemia- exercise, B12 deficiency RBC Diseases
15
Sickle-cell anemia- HbS results from a change in just one of the 287 amino acids in the chain in the globin molecule. Found in 1 out of 400 African Americans. Homozygous for sickle-cell is deadly, but in malaria infested countries, the heterozygous condition is beneficial. RBC Diseases
16
Genetics of Sickle Cell Anemia
17
Polycythemia- excess of erythrocytes, viscosity of blood; 8-11 million cells/mm 3 Usually caused by cancer; however, naturally occurs at high elevations Blood doping- in athletes remove blood 2 days before event and then replace it- banned by Olympics. RBC Diseases
18
Granulocytes Neutrophils- 40-70% Eosinophils- 1-4% Basophils- <1% Agranulocytes Monocytes- 4-8% Lymphocytes- 20-45% 4,000-11,000 cells/mm 3
19
Basophil Eosinophil Neutrophil Lymphocyte Monocyte platelet
20
ID WBC’s
21
Leukopenia Abnormally low WBC count—drug induced Leukemias Cancerous conditions involving WBCs Named according to the abnormal WBC clone involved Mononucleosis highly contagious viral disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus; excessive # of agranulocytes; fatigue, sore throat, recover in a few weeks
22
Platelets Small fragments of megakaryocytes Formation is regulated by thrombopoietin Blue-staining outer region, purple granules Granules contain serotonin, Ca 2+, enzymes, ADP, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
23
Hemostasis- stoppage of bleeding Tissue Damage Platelet Plug Clotting Factors Platelets: 250,000-500,000 cells/mm 3
24
Hemostasis: 4. Coagulation 1.Vessel injury 2. Vascular spasm 3. Platelet plug formation
25
Hemostasis (+ feedback) ProthrombinThrombin FibrinogenFibrin Clotting Factors thromboplastin Traps RBC & platelets Platelets release thromboplastin
26
Blood Clot Fibrin thread Platelet RBC
27
Thromboembolytic Conditions Thrombus: clot that develops and persists in an unbroken blood vessel –May block circulation, leading to tissue death Embolus: a thrombus freely floating in the blood stream –Pulmonary emboli impair the ability of the body to obtain oxygen –Cerebral emboli can cause strokes
28
Thromboembolytic Conditions Prevented by –Aspirin Antiprostaglandin that inhibits thromboxane A2 –Heparin Anticoagulant used clinically for pre- and postoperative cardiac care –Warfarin Used for those prone to atrial fibrillation
29
Hemophilias include several similar hereditary bleeding disorders Symptoms include prolonged bleeding, especially into joint cavities Treated with plasma transfusions and injection of missing factors
30
Hemophiliac- a sex-linked recessive trait, primarily carried by males (x chromosome)
31
Type A Type B Type AB Type O
32
Blood type is based on the presence of 2 major antigens in RBC membranes-- A and B Blood typeAntigenAntibody A A anti-B B B anti-A A & B AB no anti body Neither A or B Oanti-A and anti-B Antigen- protein on the surface of a RBC membrane Antibody- proteins made by lymphocytes in plasma which are made in response to the presence of antigens. They attack foreign antigens, which result in clumping (agglutination)
33
Type A bbbbbbb

Type B aaaaaaa
35
Type O aaabaaabbb
36
Type AB
37
Rh Factor and Pregnancy RH- indicates no protein RH+ indicates protein
38
Rh Factor and Pregnancy Rh + mother w/Rh - baby– no problem Rh - mother w/Rh + baby– problem Rh - mother w/Rh - father– no problem Rh - mother w/Rh - baby-- no problem RhoGAM used @ 28 weeks
39
Type AB- universal recipients Type O- universal donor Rh factor: Rh+ 85% dominant in pop Rh- 15% recessive Blood TypeClumpingAntibody Aantigen Aanti-A serumantibody anti-b Bantigen Banti-B serumantibody anti-a ABantigen A & Banti A & B serum - Oneither A or Bno clumping w/ either anti A or B anti-a, anti-b
