  1. Blood Marie Černá

  2. Blood The blood consists of a suspension of special cells - formed elements in a liquid called plasma In an adult man: the blood is about1/12th of the body weight and this corresponds to5-6 liters

  3. Hematocrit – relation (volume %) of erythrocytes (45 %)to full blood

  4. Blood functions • maintenance of homeostasis osmotic pressure stability (0.15 mM NaCl) pH = 7.4 (buffer system - HCO3-) • carries respiratory gases: oxygen O2 to tissues (by the hemoglobin in red cell) carbon dioxide CO2 from tissues (by the plasma in the form of soluble carbonates HCO3-) • conveys nutrients (amino acids, sugars, fatty acids) • gathers waste products of metabolism which will be excreted through the renal filter • carries hormones, enzymes, vitamins, mineral salts • performs the defense of the organism • performs thermoregulation of the organism

  5. Plasma is a slightly alkaline fluid, with a typical yellowish color can be obtained by centrifugation cells free serum - clotted plasma - unclotted due to adding anticoagulants It consists of 90 % water and 10% dry matter: 9/10 is made up by organic substances 1/10 is made up by minerals These organic substances are composed of glucides (glucose) lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, lecithin, fats) proteins (globulins, albumins, fibrinogen) glycoproteins, amino acids hormones, vitamins, minerals The mineral substances are dissolved in ionic form that is dissociated into positive and negative ions

  6. Plasma / Serum

  7. Hematic cells Special cells • erythrocytes • leukocytes • thrombocytes are not considered real cells

  8. Erythrocytes (red cells)providing oxygen in hemoglobin to tissues 4.5 .106 / mm3 = 4.5 .1012 / l in female 5 . 106 / mm3 = 5 .1012 / l in male 7 . 106 / mm3 = 7 .1012 / l in newborn 8 . 106 / mm3 = 8 .1012 / l in sportsmen size 7,2 µm in diameter In man and in all mammals: they are devoid of a nucleus In the other vertebrates: they have a nucleus the lack of nucleus allows more room for hemoglobin => the shape of a biconcave lens raises the surface and cytoplasm volume ratio. => more efficient the diffusion of oxygen The mean life is about 120 days

  9. Leucocytes (white cells)the defense of the organism 4-10 .103 / mm3 = 4-10 .109 / l size ≥10 µm in diameter granulocytes (presence of granules in the cytoplasm)70% granules have a different affinity towards neutral, acid or basic stains and give the cytoplasm different colors. neutrophils eosinophils (or acidophils) basophils agranulocytes(lymphoid cells) 30% lymphocytes (upper slide) monocytes (lower slide)

  10. Thrombocytes (platelets) 150-300 .103 / mm3 = 150-300 .109 / l size 3µm in diameter They gemmate from big leukocytes called megakaryocytes. main function: hematostasis to stop the loss of blood from wounds=> they aggregate and release factors which promote the blood coagulation: serotonin - vasoconstriction fibrin - traps cells + forms clotting

  11. Hematopoiesis regulationin red bone marrowribs, vertebrae, breastbone, pelvis

  12. Erythropoietin is converted from a plasma protein in the kidney a negative-feedback mechanism - is sensitive to the amont of O2 in the blood: ↓ O2=> ↑ erythropoietin ↑ O2 => ↓ erythropoietin Erythropoietin stimulates production of erythrocytes in the bone marrow

  13. Blood clotting 1) Platelet adhesion 2) Platelet plug 3) Fibrin clot with trapped cells

  14. Blood clotting

  15. Blood clotting Hemophilia X-linked disease missing - coagulation factor VIII symptoms: • spontaneous bleeding • bleeding into organs (join, brain)
