Functions




Transports nutrients, oxygen, cellular waste
products, and hormones.
Aids in distribution of heat.
Regulates acid-base balance.
Helps protect against infection.
Blood
One drop of blood contains:



5 million RBCs
250,000-500,000 platelets
7,500 WBCs
Red blood cells live 120 days.
Make new blood cells 2 million per second!

Plasma Proteins
Fibrinogen
Albumin
Necessary for blood
From the liver, helps
clotting, synthesized in maintain blood’s
the liver.
osmotic pressure and
volume.
Prothrombin
A globulin which helps
blood coagulate.
Vitamin K necessary
for prothrombin
synthesis
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:antiprothrombin
Prothrombin is dependent on Vitamin K
Erythrocytes



Biconcave disk
Hemoglobin- gives red color,
heme is iron and globin is
protein,
Transportation


Oxygen to tissues
Carbon dioxide away from cells
Normal – men 14-18 gm
Women – 12-16 gm

Erythrocytes
Erythropoiesis
Manufacture of RBCs
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.
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.
Leukocytes


Larger than
erythrocytes
Five types
Leuk/o/cytes –
white cells
2.01 Remember the structures of the

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.

Thrombocytes




Smallest of solid
components of blood
Synthesized in red
marrow
Not cells, composed of
fragments of
megakaryocytes
Necessary for the
initiation of the blood
clotting process

of the circulatory system
19
Types of White Cells…
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
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.
B-lymphocytes
and T-lymphocyte
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
Life Span of Blood cells

Phagocytosis – process when white cells surround engulf, and
digest harmful bacteria.
Inflammation
Start 
Body’s reaction to
chemical or
physical trauma.

Pathogenic disease
producing
microorganisms can
cause inflammation.
Pus produced a combination of
dead tissue, dead and living
bacteria, dead leukocytes and
plasma

Symptoms –
redness, local heat,
swelling and pain
 Histamine
increases the
blood flow to
the injured
area.

 Why? Bacterial
toxins, increase
blood flow,
collection of
plasma in tissues
– edema.
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
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?
When there is

hypothalamus, causing
the body temperature to
increase. What is the
medical term for this
condition?
