12 RBC’s Functions Functions Transport carbon dioxide Transport carbon dioxide Transport oxygen from lungs to other body cells Transport oxygen from lungs to other body cells

13 RBC Terms Anemia: a number of different disease conditions caused by an inability of the blood to carry sufficient oxygen to the body cells. Anemia: a number of different disease conditions caused by an inability of the blood to carry sufficient oxygen to the body cells. Hemoglobin: red pigment of RBC’s Hemoglobin: red pigment of RBC’s Oxyhemoglobin: hemoglobin binds with oxygen Oxyhemoglobin: hemoglobin binds with oxygen

14 RBC Terms hemoglobin carries a small proportion of the carbon dioxide carried by the blood. Carbaminohemoglobin: hemoglobin carries a small proportion of the carbon dioxide carried by the blood. Polycythemia: bone marrow produces an excess of RBC’s. Polycythemia: bone marrow produces an excess of RBC’s. Iron deficiency anemia: a result of the body’s inability to manufacture enough hemoglobin due to an inadequate supply of iron in the diet. Iron deficiency anemia: a result of the body’s inability to manufacture enough hemoglobin due to an inadequate supply of iron in the diet.

15 Anemia Hemorrhagic anemia: decrease in RBC’s due to hemorrhage Hemorrhagic anemia: decrease in RBC’s due to hemorrhage Aplastic anemia: decrease in RBC’s due to destruction of blood-forming elements in the marrow. Sometimes caused by radiation, chemotherapy, high-dose x-rays Aplastic anemia: decrease in RBC’s due to destruction of blood-forming elements in the marrow. Sometimes caused by radiation, chemotherapy, high-dose x-rays Pernicious anemia: decrease in RBC’s because the stomach doesn’t produce enough “intrinsic factor” that allows the absorption of vit B 12 Pernicious anemia: decrease in RBC’s because the stomach doesn’t produce enough “intrinsic factor” that allows the absorption of vit B 12

16 Sickle Cell Anemia Severe and sometimes fatal hereditary disease Severe and sometimes fatal hereditary disease If a person inherits only one defective gene from a parent, they are considered to carry the sickle cell trait. A small amt of RBC’s are damaged. If a person inherits only one defective gene from a parent, they are considered to carry the sickle cell trait. A small amt of RBC’s are damaged. If two defective genes are inherited, the person will have a more severe form of sickle cell anemia because more of the RBC’s are damaged If two defective genes are inherited, the person will have a more severe form of sickle cell anemia because more of the RBC’s are damaged

17 Hematocrit The measure of the total blood volume made up by RBC’s The measure of the total blood volume made up by RBC’s When spun down, the formed elements settle at the bottom When spun down, the formed elements settle at the bottom The buffy coat is the layer seen between the RBC’s and the plasma above The buffy coat is the layer seen between the RBC’s and the plasma above

28 Objectives Explain clotting Explain clotting Describe blood types Describe blood types Describe Rh systems Describe Rh systems Medical Terminology Medical Terminology

29 Platelets and Clotting Clots plug torn or cut vessels to stop bleeding Clots plug torn or cut vessels to stop bleeding Rapid-fire reactions Rapid-fire reactions

30 Clotting Steps First, an injury to a blood vessels makes a rough spot in its lining. First, an injury to a blood vessels makes a rough spot in its lining. Almost immediately, damaged tissue cells in the injured vessel wall release certain clotting factors into plasma. Almost immediately, damaged tissue cells in the injured vessel wall release certain clotting factors into plasma. These factors react with other factors in the plasma to form prothrombin activator. These factors react with other factors in the plasma to form prothrombin activator.

31 Clotting, cont’d At the same time, platelets become sticky at the point of injury and begin to accumulate forming a platelet plug. At the same time, platelets become sticky at the point of injury and begin to accumulate forming a platelet plug. As they accumulate, they release even more clotting factors forming even more prothrombin activator. As they accumulate, they release even more clotting factors forming even more prothrombin activator. Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin. Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin.

32 Clotting, cont’d Thrombin reacts with fibrinogen to change it to a fibrous gel called fibrin. Thrombin reacts with fibrinogen to change it to a fibrous gel called fibrin. Fibrin looks like a tangle of fine threads with RBC’s caught in the tangle. Fibrin looks like a tangle of fine threads with RBC’s caught in the tangle. This mesh forms a more long-term seal. This mesh forms a more long-term seal.

34 Clotting Terms Thrombus: a clot stays in the place where it was formed. Thrombus: a clot stays in the place where it was formed. Embolus: occurs when part of the clot dislodges and circulates through the bloodstream. Embolus: occurs when part of the clot dislodges and circulates through the bloodstream. The clot is an embolus. The condition is known as an embolism. The clot is an embolus. The condition is known as an embolism.

35 Blood Types ABO system ABO system Antigen: a substance that can activate the immune system to make certain responses. Antigen: a substance that can activate the immune system to make certain responses. Antibody: a substance made by the body in response to stimulation by an antigen. Antibody: a substance made by the body in response to stimulation by an antigen. Agglutinate: clump Agglutinate: clump

36 Blood Types Type A Type A Type B Type B Type AB Type AB “universal recipient” “universal recipient” Type O Type O “universal donor” “universal donor”

37 Rh System Rh-positive Rh-positive RBC’s contain an antigen called the Rh factor RBC’s contain an antigen called the Rh factor Includes most Americans Includes most Americans Rh-negative Rh-negative RBC’s do not contain the Rh factor RBC’s do not contain the Rh factor

38 Erythroblastosis fetalis Rh-negative mothers carries a baby with Rh- positive blood. Rh-negative mothers carries a baby with Rh- positive blood. She will produce anti-Rh antibodies and later if she carries another Rh-positive fetus, the baby may develop erythroblastosis fetalis. She will produce anti-Rh antibodies and later if she carries another Rh-positive fetus, the baby may develop erythroblastosis fetalis. ALL Rh-negative mothers who carry Rh-positive babies should be treated with RhoGAM to prevent harm to the next child. ALL Rh-negative mothers who carry Rh-positive babies should be treated with RhoGAM to prevent harm to the next child.

39 Questions What formed element is essential for clotting? What formed element is essential for clotting? Describe the steps of clotting. Describe the steps of clotting. What are the four blood types? What are the four blood types?
