Chapter 14Blood • Functions • transports vital substances • maintains stability of interstitial fluid • distributes heat • Blood Cells • form mostly in red bone marrow • red blood cells • white blood cells • platelets (cell fragments) 14-2
Blood Volume • varies with • body size • changes in fluid concentration • changes in electrolyte concentration • amount of adipose tissue • about 8% of body weight • about 5 liters 14-3
Blood Composition 14-4
Red Blood Cells • erythrocytes • biconcave • one-third hemoglobin • oxyhemoglobin • deoxyhemoglobin • can readily squeeze through capillaries • lack nuclei and mitochondria 14-6
Red Blood Cell Count • number of RBCs in a cubic millimeter of blood • 4,600,000 – 6,200,000 in males • 4,200,000 – 5,400,000 in adult females • 4,500,000 – 5,100,000 in children • reflects blood’s oxygen carrying capacity 14-7
Red Blood Cell Production • low blood oxygen causes kidneys and liver to release erythropoietin which stimulates RBC production • vitamin B12, folic acid and iron necessary 14-8
Life Cycle of Red Blood Cell • circulate for about 120 days • macrophages in spleen and liver destroy worn out RBCs • hemoglobin is broken down into heme and globin • iron return to red bone marrow • bilirubin and biliverdin excreted in bile 14-9
White Blood Cells • leukocytes • protect against disease • interleukins and colony-stimulating factors stimulate development • granulocytes • neutrophils • eosinophils • basophils • agranulocytes • lymphocytes • monocytes 14-12
Neutrophils • light blue granules in acid-base stain • lobed nucleus • other names • segs • polymorphonuclear leukocyte • bands (young neutrophils) • first to arrive at infections • phagocytic • 54% - 62% of leukocyte • elevated in bacterial infections 14-13
Basophils • deep blue granules is basic stain • release histamine • release heparin • less than 1% of leukocytes 14-14
Eosinophils • deep red granules in acid stain • bilobed nucleus • moderate allergic reactions • defend against parasitic worm infestations • 1% - 3% of leukocytes • elevated in worm infestations and allergic reactions 14-15
Monocytes • largest blood cell • kidney-shaped or oval nuclei • leave bloodstream to become macrophages • 3% - 9% of leukocytes • elevated in typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis 14-16
Lymphocytes • about the size of RBC • large spherical nuclei • thin rims of cytoplasm • T cells • B cells • important in immunity • produce antibodies • 25% - 33% of leukocytes • decreased T Cells in AIDS 14-17
Diapadesis • leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls to enter tissue space outside the blood vessel 14-18
White Blood Cell Counts • number of WBCs per cubic millimeter of blood • 5,000 – 10,000 per cubic millimeter of blood • leukopenia • low WBC count • typhoid fever, flu, measles, mumps, chicken pox, AIDS • leukocytosis • high WBC count • acute infections, vigorous exercise, great loss of body fluids • differential WBC count • lists percentages of types of leukocytes • may change in particular diseases 14-19
Blood Platelets • thrombocytes • cell fragments of megakaryocytes • 130,000 – 360,000 per cubic millimeter of blood • helps control blood loss from broken vessels 14-20
Blood Clots • After forming, blood clot retracts and pulls the edges of a broken vessel together • Platelet-derived growth factor stimulates smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts to repair damaged blood vessels • Plasmin digests blood clots • thrombus – abnormal blood clot • embolus – blood clot moving through blood 14-31
Blood Plasma • straw colored • liquid portion of blood • 55% of blood 14-21
Plasma Proteins • Albumins • most numerous plasma proteins • originate in liver • help maintain osmotic pressure of blood • Alpha and Beta Globulins • originate in liver • transport lipids and fat-soluble vitamins • Gamma Globulins • originate in lymphatic tissues • constitute the antibodies of immunity • Fibrinogen • originate in liver • plays key role in blood coagulation 14-22
Gases and Nutrients • Nutrients • amino acids • simple sugars • nucleotides • lipids • lipoproteins • Gases • oxygen • carbon dioxide • nitrogen 14-23
ABO Blood Group 14-33
Agglutination 14-34
