1. Blood… The River of Life
A delivery system of 6 quarts of liquid fun!!!

2. I. Functions of Blood Transports Oxygen to body cells
Transports Carbon Dioxide and Waste from the body cells
Transports food to body cells
Contains disease fighters
Regulates body temperature
Transports hormones

3. II. Anatomy of Blood Plasma Liquid Part of Blood (92% Water)
Contains salts, proteins, nutrients, waste, hormones, sugar, enzymes
Non living

4. II. Anatomy of Blood B. Red Blood Cells Live 100-120 days No nucleus
Contain Hemoglobin which carries oxygen
Flattened Discs
Made in bone marow

5. II. Anatomy of Blood White Blood Cells 1. Less than 1% of Blood
2. Complete cells (contain nucleus and organelles)
3. Protective army of cells used in Defense against foreign invaders
4. Can leave the circulatory system and go to damaged tissues

6. Anatomy of Blood The Five Types of White Blood Cells
a. Neutrophils – Fight acute infection
b. Eosinophils – Allergies and Parasites

7. (Cont) c. Basophils – Seen in inflammation
d. Lymphocytes – Immune Response – make antibodies, fights tumors
e. Monocytes – Fight chronic infections like TB

8. II. Anatomy of Blood Platelets 1. Fragments of Cells
2. Aid in Blood Clotting
3. Form a temporary plug to seal break in skin

9. Blood Types Inherited from parents
Caused by carbohydrate markers on Red Blood Cells called Antigens
Each blood type has a different Antigen

10. Blood Types Type A = A antigens Type B = B antigens
Type AB = A and B antigens
Type O = no antigens
Rh + = + antigens
Rh - = no antigens

11. If a cell doesn’t recognize the marker, it will produce proteins called antibodies that fight against it

12. Type A = makes anti-B antibodies
Type B = makes anti- A antibodies
Type AB = makes no antibodies
Type O = makes Anti A and Anti B antibodies
Rh + = no antibodies
Rh - = anti RH+ antibodies

13. The Scoop on Blood Types Antigens
ABO Rh
A – A antigens
B- B antigens
AB – A & B

O – no antigens
Rh+= antigen

16. Inheritance of Blood Types
Type A = IAIA or IAi
Type B = IBIB or Ibi
Type AB = IAIB
Type O = ii
