Topicsa. blood constituentsb. transport of gasesc. heart functiond. blood pressuree. blood volume and lymphatic system
Additional components of the circulatory system:Medulla vasomotor centerSNS, PNSAnd, blood...
Components of Blood:Cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and plateletsPlasma: water proteins a. Albumin b. globulins (,,) c. Fibrinogen ions glucose, amino acids wastes (creatinine, urea, ammonia)
Transport of Oxygen3% transported dissolved in plasma97% transported in red blood cell in association with hemoglobin
Red blood cellsMen: 5 million/ml bloodWomen: 4.5 million/ml blood25-30 trillion rbc’s in total blood volume120 day life spanno nucleus, mitochondria nor ribosomes4 heme groups (Fe plus pyrroles) + 4 globin molecules
Hemoglobin bindingon heme groups1. O2 2. CO on globin chains3. CO24. H+5. Nitric oxide (NO)6. 2,3 biphosphoglycerate
Regulation of red blood cell production RBCs (O2 delivery) ---> Kidney (both sensor and integrator)---> secretion of erythropoietin --> stimulation of bone marrow to produce RBCs --> RBCs (O2 delivery) RBCs (O2 delivery) ---> Kidney (both sensor and integrator)---> secretion of erythropoietin --> stimulation of bone marrow to produce RBCs --> RBCs (O2 delivery)
Pathological variation in RBCsAnemias (30% and below)1. Iron deficiency2. Lack of folic acid in diet3. Pernicious4. Hemorrhagic5. Aplastic6. Hemolytic7. Renal
