Blood White blood cells Platelets Red blood cells Artery
2
Function of Blood: Deliver O2 Remove metabolic wastes Maintain temperature, pH, and fluid volume Protection from blood loss- platelets Prevent infection- antibodies and WBC Transport hormones
3
plasma formed elements The Blood 55% 45%
4
Blood Plasma Components- 55% 90% Water 8% Solutes: b b Proteins Albumin (60 %) Alpha and Beta Globulins Gamma Globulins fibrinogens b b Gas b b Electrolytes
5
Blood Plasma Components b b Organic Nutrients Carbohydrates Amino Acids Lipids Vitamins b b Hormones b b Metabolic waste CO2 Urea
6
Formed Elements of the Blood- 45% b b Erythrocytes (red blood cells) b b Leukocytes (white blood cells) b b Platelets
7
Erythrocytes
8
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- quaternary structure, 2 chains and 2 chains Lack mitochondria. Why? 1 RBC contains 250 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)
9
Hemoglobin Portion of hemoglobin molecule
10
Anemia- when blood has low O2 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; 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
11
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 O 2 content of blood is low, causing RBCs to become sickle-shaped. Homozygous for sickle-cell is deadly, but in malaria infested countries, the heterozygous condition is beneficial. RBC Diseases
12
Genetics of Sickle Cell Anemia
13
Types of Leukocytes Granulocytes Neutrophils- 40-70% Eosinophils- 1-4% Basophils- <1% Agranulocytes Monocytes- 4-8% Lymphocytes- 20-45% Lymphocytes- 20-45% Never let monkeys eat bananas 4,000-11,000 cells/mm 3
14
Basophil Eosinophil Neutrophil Lymphocyte Monocyte platelet
15
ID WBC’s
16
Blood Cell Production
17
Leukocyte Squeezing Through Capillary Wall
18
Lukemia- too high WBC Leukocytosis- suppresses normal bone marrow function; abnormally high WBC Leukopenia- too few WBC; commonly induced by drugs, and anticancer agents Mononucleosis- highly contagious viral disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus; excessive # of agranulocytes; fatigue, sore throat, recover in a few weeks WBC Diseases
19
Hemostasis- stoppage of bleeding Tissue Damage Platelet Plug Clotting Factors Platelets: 250,000-500,000 cells/mm 3
20
Hemostasis: 4. Coagulation 1.Vessel injury 2. Vascular spasm 3. Platelet plug formation
21
Hemostasis (+ feedback) ProthrombinThrombin FibrinogenFibrin Clotting Factors thromboplastin Traps RBC & platelets Platelets release thromboplastin
22
Blood Clot Fibrin thread Platelet RBC
23
Type A Type B Type AB Type O
24
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) Blood Typing

Rh Factor and Pregnancy RH- indicates no protein RH+ indicates protein
30
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
31
Blood Type & RhHow Many Have ItFrequency ORh Positive1 person in 337.4% ORh Negative1 person in 156.6% ARh Positive1 person in 335.7% ARh Negative1 person in 166.3% BRh Positive1 person in 128.5% BRh Negative1 person in 671.5% ABRh Positive1 person in 293.4% ABRh Negative1 person in 167.6%

INQUIRY 1.What is an erythrocyte, leukocyte, and thrombocyte? 2.What 2 things do red cells lack compared to white cells? 3.What dietary component is needed for the production of red blood cells? 4.The largest cells in the blood that leave the bloodstream to become macrophages are ____. 5.In an acute infection, the white cell count would show as ______. 6.Erythroblastosis fetalis, also known as hemolytic newborn disease, occurs in ____ mothers carrying ____ fetuses. 7.What antigens and antibodies found on AB red cells? 8.In a transfusion, what type blood can you give a type O person?
