|
** RBC, erythrocytes (4 facts) |
-biconcave disc, -large surface: gas exchange, stackable, flexible -no nucleus (anucleated), lack of organelles -typically degenerate in 120 days |
|
** hematocrit |
volume of packed RBCs |
|
** molecules of hemoglobin account for _____% of the proteins in RBCs |
95% |
|
** how many heme molecules in a hemoglobin protein? |
4 one in each of 4 subunits |
|
** The heme molecule allows the hemoglobin to do what? |
reversibly bind O2 |
|
** when RBCs are recycled what is the heme converted to? |
bilirubin (the Fe is recycled to the bone marrow) |
|
what is sickle cell |
disease where RBCs form into sickled RBCs cannot stack to move thru the capillaries cannot carry as much O2
|
|
** Where are damaged or dead RBCs recycled |
by phagocytes in the -spleen -liver -bone marrow Heme is stripped of Fe --> bilirubin - bile - stool Fe back to bone marrow |
|
* erythropoeisis -where -stimulated by (hormone) -when is nucleus ejected |
formation of new RBCs -red bone marrow -erythropoietin Hn of kidneys -> RBC prdctn -after day 4, transition from normoblast to reticulocyte |
|
** antibodies in blood type with A-antigens |
anti-B antibodies |
|
** antibodies in blood type with B-antigens |
anti-A antibodies |
|
** antibodies in blood type with both AB-antigens |
neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies |
|
** antibodies in blood type O (neither A or B-antigens) |
both anti-A and anti-B antibodies |
|
** When is blood type called "positive" |
when D-antigen is present (Rh factor) |
|
hemolosys |
destruction of blood by antibodies |
|
** WBC - leukocytes |
-have nuclei + other organelles -defend against pathogens -remove toxins + waste -capable of amoeboid movement -some do phagocytosis |
|
** leukocytes |
Granular Neutrophils - 50-70% Eosinophils - 4% Basophils - 1% Agranular Lymphocytes - 20-30% Monocytes - 2-8% |
|
MEN |
The phagocytic WBCs: Monocytes Eosinophils Neutrophils |
|
neutrophils (3) |
- 50-70% - string bead nucleus - phagocytic cells |
|
Eosinophils (5) |
- 4% - bilobed nucleus - stained red granules - phagocytic cells - allergies + parasitic infections (spiderman) |
|
Basophils (5) |
- 1% - initiate inflammatory response - can't see nucleus - stained/dense cytoplasm - size of 2 RBCs (Habib) - releases: histamine - vasodilator heparin - anticoagulant |
|
upon inflammation, Basophils, do what? (3) |
- migrate to inflammed tissue - histamine - vasodilator - heparin - anticoagulant |
|
Monocytes (4) |
- 2-8% - phagocytic cells - kidney bean shaped nucleus - large - macrophages in the tissue |
|
Lymphocytes (4) |
-20-30% -small cells - large nucleus -halo of cytoplasm -immunity: T-cells + B-cells (made in b.m.) |
|
T-cells (3) |
-produced in bone marrow -released as immature cells -sent to Thymus to mature |
|
B-cells (3) |
-produced in bone marrow -released as mature cells -B lymphocyte cells produce antibodies |
|
leucopoiesis |
production of WBCs -produced and mature in bone marrow *except lymphocytes - they mature in the lymphatic system |
|
platelets (3) |
-flattened discs - small fragments -circulate 9-12 - removed by phagocytosis -count is 150,000- 400,000 /uL |
|
platelet functions (3) |
-transport chemicals for clotting -temporary patch in damaged blood vessels -contract when clot has formed |
|
megakaryocytes (3) |
- very large, - the start of platelets - 1/3 stored in spleen |
|
thrombocytopoiesis |
platelet production |
|
hemostasis |
prevent blood loss through vessel walls |
|
3 phases of hemostasis |
vascular phase platelet phase coagulation phase |
|
hemostasis: vascular phase |
local vascular spasm - reduce blood loss (vessel constriction) |
|
hemostasis: platelet phase |
activate platelets aggregate at the site, adhere to damaged surfaces |
|
hemostasis coagulation phase |
factors released by platelets + endothelial cells interact with clotting factors to form a clot -extrinsic pathway -intrinsic pathway -common pathway suspended fibrinogen is converted to large insoluble fibrin fibers |
|
clot retraction |
-final phase of healing -platelets contract and pull the edges of the vessel together |
|
fibrinolysis |
clot dissolves (clotting can be prevented with drugs that depress the clotting response or dissolve existing clots: heparin, coumadin, aspirin) |
|
if albumin is low then.. |
water goes into interstitial fluid - edema |
|
immunoglobulins |
antibodies |
|
anemia |
decrease in O2 carrying capacity of the blood -sickle cell -iron deficiency -low B12 -low folic acid |
|
polycythemia |
elevated RBC count (high hemacrit value) -tumor in B.M -increase in EPO Hn in kidney -living at high altitude |
|
leukopenia |
low WBC -side effect of antibiotics |
|
leukocytosis |
high WBC -acute infection or inflammation |
|
leukemia |
very high (millions) WBC -tumor in B.M. |
|
Hematopoiesis |
Development of ALL cells in the blood (including RBC, and all WBC) |
|
** Functions of blood |
-dissolved gases, nutrients, Hs, metabolic wst -pH and ion levels of interstitial fluids -fluid loss at injury -toxins and pathogens |
|

5x more than water |
|
** Temperature of blood |
38C or 100.4 F |
|
