Hematology
Average adult
has 8-10 pints
of blood in
their body.
Functions
 Transports nutrients,
oxygen, cellular waste
products, and
hormones.
 Aids in distribution of
heat.
 Regulates acid-base
balance.
 Helps protect against
infection.
Composition
 Plasma – liquid
portion of blood
without cellular
components.
Serum
Plasma after a
blood clot is
formed.
Composition
 Cellular elements
are red cells,
white cells and
platelets
Plasma
 Straw colored and
contains
 Water
 Blood proteins
 Nutrients
 Electrolytes
 Hormones, vitamins,
enzymes
 Metabolic waste
products
Plasma
Fibrinogen
Albumin
Prothrombin
Necessary for blood
clotting, synthesized in
the liver.
From the liver, helps
maintain blood’s
osmotic pressure and
volume.
A globulin which helps
blood coagulate.
Vitamin K necessary
for prothrombin
synthesis
Erythrocytes
 Shape = biconcave discs
 Hemoglobin- gives red
color, heme is iron and
globin is protein,
 Function – transports
oxygen to tissues and
carbon dioxide away from
cells
 Normal – men 14-18 gm
 Women – 12-16 gm
Function of hemoglobin
 Red cells travel
through the lungs
where O2+hemoglobin
oxyhemoglobin O2 is
carried to tissues and
released CO2 picked up
and carried back to the
lungs for exchange.
 Arterial blood – lots of
oxyhemoglobin =
bright red
 Venous blood – lots of
CO2 = dark crimson.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
 CO is a colorless odorless
tasteless gas that is
commonly produced by
fire, automobiles exhaust,
and space heaters.
 CO interferes with the
delivery of O2 in the blood.
 O2 is crowded out of the
hemoglobin, eventually
depriving cells of their
oxygen supply and can be
fatal.
Erythrocytes
Erythropoiesis
Manufacture of red blood
cells.
Occurs in bone marrow.
Red cells live 120 days.
Old cells broken down by
the spleen and liver.
Hemolysis
Rupture or bursting of
erythrocyte, can be
from a blood
transfusion or disease.
Erythropoiesis
Hemolysis
White Blood Cells Leukocytes





Larger than erythrocytes
Granular or agranular
5 types
Normal leukocyte count = 3,200 – 9,800
Diapedesis- when WBC have the ability to squeeze
through the intercellular spaces of capillary walls to
fight infection in neighboring tissues.
Types of White Cells…
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Lymphocytes
Granuloccyte
formed in the
bone marrow
Phagocytize
bacteria
Granulocyte
Formed in the
bone marrow
Increase in
numbers in
allergic
conditions,
malaria and in
worm
infestation.
Produce heparin
an anitcoagulant
Granulocyte
Count increases
during chronic
inflammation
and during
healing from
infection.
Agranulocyte
absence of
cytoplasmic
granules formed
in lymph glands,
nodes and bone
marrow. Blymphocytes and
T-lymphocyte
Protect against
cancer cells.
White Blood Cells cont.
Lymphocytes Monocytes
Agranulocyte absence
of cytoplasmic
granules formed in
lymph glands, nodes
and bone marrow. Blymphocytes and Tlymphocyte Protect
against cancer cells.
Assist in phagocytosis
leave blood vessels and
attach themselves to
tissues, during
infection they help to
wall off and isolate the
infected area
Agranulocyte
Leukocytes
Phagocytosis –
process when white
cells surround
engulf, and digest
harmful bacteria.
Inflammation
Start 
Body’s
reaction to
chemical or
physical
trauma.
Pus produced a combination of
dead tissue, dead and living
bacteria, dead leukocytes and
plasma

Histamine
increases the
blood flow to
the injured area.

Symptoms –

redness, local heat,

Why? Bacterial

Inflammation
Inflammation Cont.
Abscess
Pus-filled cavity
below the
epidermis.
Pyrexia
Increase in body
temperature by the
hypothalamus in
response to
pathogenic
invasion
Leukocytosis
Increase in the
number of white
cells in response to
infection
Leukopenia
Decrease in
number of white
cells due to
chemotherapy or
radiation
Thrombocytes
 Smallest of solid components of blood
 Synthesized in red marrow
 Not cells fragments of megakaryocytes
 Necessary for the initiation of the blood
clotting process
Thrombocytes
Coagulation
Cut or injuryplatelets and injured tissue
release Thromboplastinact on
Prothrombin in plasma+ Calcium ions
converts to Thrombinthe thrombin acts as
an enzyme and changes FibrinogenFibrin
creating a mesh that traps red blood cells,
platelets and plasma creating a blood clot.
Coagulation Cont.
 Anticoagulants prevent blood clotting
 Heparin is a antiprothrombin
 Prothrombin dependent on Vitamin K
Test your gray matter…
Leukocytes have the ability to
squeeze through the intercellular
spaces of capillary walls to fight
infection in neighboring tissues.
This process is called?
Diapedesis
What condition exists when
O2 is crowded out of the
hemoglobin ,eventually
depriving cells of their O2
supply, that is sometimes
fatal?
Carbon Monoxide
poisoning
When there is
inflammation in the body,
chemical substances travel
to the hypothalamus,
causing the body
temperature to increase.
What is the medical term
