7. Leukocytes Platelets

8. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) Leukocytes (white blood cells) Platelets (thrombocytes)

9. Erythrocytes

10. Erythrocyte  7.5  m in dia  Anucleate- so can't reproduce; however, repro in red bone marrow  Hematopoiesis- production of RBC  Function- transport respiratory gases  Hemoglobin  Lack mitochondria. Why?  1 RBC contains 280 million hemoglobin molecules  Men- 4.3 to 5.9 million cells/mm 3  Women- 3.5 to 5 million cells/mm 3  Life span 100-120 days and then destroyed in spleen (RBC graveyard) (reticuloendothelial system)

12. Hematopoiesis Hematopoiesis (hemopoiesis): blood cell formation –Occurs in red bone marrow of axial skeleton, girdles and proximal epiphyses of humerus and femur

13. Hematopoiesis Hemocytoblasts (hematopoietic stem cells) –Give rise to all formed elements –Hormones and growth factors push the cell toward a specific pathway of blood cell development New blood cells enter blood sinusoids

14. Erythropoiesis Erythropoiesis: red blood cell production –A hemocytoblast is transformed into a proerythroblast –Proerythroblasts develop into early erythroblasts

15. Erythropoiesis –Phases in development 1.Ribosome synthesis 2.Hemoglobin accumulation 3.Ejection of the nucleus and formation of reticulocytes –Reticulocytes then become mature erythrocytes

17. Regulation of Erythropoiesis Too few RBCs leads to tissue hypoxia Too many RBCs increases blood viscosity Balance between RBC production and destruction depends on –Hormonal controls –Adequate supplies of iron, amino acids, and B vitamins

18. Hormonal Control of Erythropoiesis Erythropoietin (EPO) –Direct stimulus for erythropoiesis –Released by the kidneys in response to hypoxia

19. Hormonal Control of Erythropoiesis Causes of hypoxia – Hemorrhage or increased RBC destruction reduces RBC numbers –Insufficient hemoglobin (e.g., iron deficiency) –Reduced availability of O 2 (e.g., high altitudes)

20. Hormonal Control of Erythropoiesis Effects of EPO –More rapid maturation of committed bone marrow cells –Increased circulating reticulocyte count in 1–2 days Testosterone also enhances EPO production, resulting in higher RBC counts in males

21. Formation & Destruction of RBCs

23. Anemia- when blood has low O 2 carrying capacity; insufficient RBC or iron deficiency. Factors that can cause anemia- exercise, B12 deficiency Polycythemia- excess of erythrocytes,  viscosity of blood; 8-11 million cells/mm 3 Usually caused by cancer, tissue hypoxia, dehydration; however, naturally occurs at high elevations

24. 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. Abnormal hemoglobin crystalizes when O2 content of blood is low, causing RBCs to become sickle-shaped.

25. Granulocytes Neutrophils- 50-70% Eosinophils- 1-3% Basophils- 0.25-0.5% Agranulocytes Monocytes- 2-6% Lymphocytes- 25-40% Never let monkeys eat bananas 5,000-10,000 cells/mm 3

29. Leukopenia Abnormally low WBC count—drug induced Leukemias Cancerous conditions involving WBCs Mononucleosis highly contagious viral disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus; excessive # of agranulocytes; fatigue, sore throat, recover in a few weeks

30. Platelets Small fragments of megakaryocytes Formation is regulated by thrombopoietin

32. Hemostasis- stoppage of bleeding Tissue Damage Platelet Plug Clotting Factors Platelets: 250,000-450,000 cells/mm 3

36. Disorders of Hemostasis Thromboembolytic disorders: undesirable clot formation Bleeding disorders: abnormalities that prevent normal clot formation

37. 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

38. Thromboembolytic Conditions Prevented by –Aspirin inhibits thromboxane A2 –Heparin Anticoagulant used clinically for pre- and postoperative cardiac care –Warfarin Used for those prone to atrial fibrillation

39. Thrombocytosis- too many platelets due to inflammation, infection, or cancer Thrombocytopenia- too few platelets causes spontaneous bleeding due to suppression or destruction of bone marrow (e.g., malignancy, radiation) –Platelet count <50,000/mm 3 is diagnostic –Treated with transfusion of concentrated platelets

40. Impaired liver function –Inability to synthesize procoagulants –Causes include vitamin K deficiency, hepatitis, and cirrhosis –Liver disease can also prevent the liver from producing bile, impairing fat and vitamin K absorption

41. Bleeding Disorders Hemophilias include several similar hereditary bleeding disorders Symptoms include prolonged bleeding, especially into joint cavities Treated with plasma transfusions and injection of missing factors

42. Hemophiliac- a sex-linked recessive trait, primarily carried by males (x chromosome)

43. Type A Type B Type AB Type O

44. 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)

45. Type A ABO Blood Types Produces anti-B antibodies b b b b b b b b
