Blood A. Functions of blood • Blood carries oxygen from your lungs to your body cells, and carbon dioxide from your cells to your lungs to be exhaled. • Blood carries waste products from cells to your kidneys to be removed. • Blood transports nutrientsto your body’s cells. • Cells and molecules in blood fight infections and heal wounds.
Blood B. Parts of blood Parts of Blood • Plasma – liquid part of blood • Made mostly ofwater. • Nutrients, minerals, and oxygen are dissolved in plasma. • Carries wastes from cells
Parts of Blood Red Blood Cells 2. Red blood cells supply your body with oxygen. • Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which is a chemical that can carry oxygen and carbon dioxide. • The life span of a red blood cell is 120 days , and they are rapidly replaced.
Parts of Blood Continues the parts of blood White Blood Cells 3. White blood cells fight bacteria and viruses. • Your body reacts to invaders byincreasingthe number of white blood cells. • White blood cells enter infected tissues, destroy bacteria and viruses, and adsorb dead cells. • The life span of a white blood cell is a few days to many months.
Parts of Blood 4.Plateletsare irregularly shaped cell fragments that help clot blood. • Release chemicals that help form filaments of fibrin • Life span of five to nine days Platelets
Making a scab C. Blood Clotting –platelets and clotting factors plug up a wound Blood Clotting 1. Plateletsstick to a wound and release chemicals. 2. Clotting factors carry out chemical reactions. 3. Threadlike fibers, called fibrin, form a sticky net. 4. The net traps blood cells and plasma and forms a clot. 5. Skin cells then begin the repair process.
Blood Types D. Blood types- A,B, AB, O Blood Types • Based partly on antigens • Chemical identification tabs in the blood • Type O has no antigens, and can donate blood to any type . • Nickname for type O is an universal donor.
Blood Types 2. Also based on antibodies • Proteins that identify substance that do not belong in the body, such as other blood types, and destroy them • Types AB has no antibodies, so it can receive blood from any type. • Nickname for type AB is an universal receiver.
Blood Types 3. Rh factor is another chemical identification tag in blood. • If people who lack the Rh factor (Rh-) receive Rh+ blood, they will produce antibodies against the blood. • Antibodies cause clots to form in the blood vessels.
