  1. Haematology and The Lymphatic System

  2. Functions of Blood • Transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones and enzymes to body cells • Carry waste away from body cells • Protect body against fluid loss through clotting mechanism • Protect against infection

  3. What is blood made up of? 1.Plasma • Is a straw coloured liquid • Consists of water, proteins, and the following types of blood cells

  4. Types of blood cells • Erythrocytes • Are Red Blood Cells (RBC) • Contain hemoglobin – pigment that contains iron and carries oxygen • Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide i

  5. Types of blood cells cont’d • Leucocytes • Are white blood cells (WBC) • Fight against infection and inflammation • Neutrophils, Eosiniphils, Basophils lymphocytes, Monocytes are types of leucocytes • Neutrophils swallow and destroy bacteria This is known as phagocytosis

  6. Types of blood cells cont’d • Thrombocytes • Are also called platelets • Are responsible for blood clotting

  7. Blood clotting • Process of blood thickening and forming a gel • Is called coagulation • Gel is called a clot • Clotting prevents blood loss when a blood vessel is ruptured

  8. Haemrrohage • Occurs when blood doesn’t clot quickly enough • Some drugs are used to prevent and treat clotting or thrombosis by blocking the clotting mechanism • These drugs are called antocoagulants e.g. Heparin

  9. Thrombosis • Is a clot in an unbroken blood vessel • Is due to blood clotting too easily

  10. Haemopoiesis –(poiesis means formation) Process by which blood cells are formed & occurs in • Bone marrow (myeloid tissue) –Erythrocytes (RBC), some leucocytes (WBC), & platelets • Lymphoid tissue – produces some leucocytes • Production occurs in spleen, tonsils, &lymph nodes

  11. Word Components

  12. Blood grouping • Erythrocytes contain special proteins (agglutinations) that determines our blood group • ABO group • Rh group

  13. ABO grouping • Type A = 41% of population • Type B = 10% of population • Type AB = 4% of population • Type O = 45% of population

  14. Rh grouping • Rh + • Rh – • In blood transfusions both recipient &donor must match in ABO grouping • And also Rh grouping

  24. Lymphatic System Consists of • Capillaries • Vessels • Ducts • Nodes • Responsible for Transporting lymph that is formed from tissue fluid

  25. Functions of Lymphatic System • Protection from infection - nodes filter microorganisms (bacteria) in the lymph fluid • Transportation of lymphocytes which help body fight infection support immune response • Transportation of lipids • Transportation of excess tissue fluid back into the bloodstream Act 1

  26. Lymphatic Organs • Spleen – destroys old RBC, stores blood, filters blood, plays a part in immune response • Adenoids & tonsils – thought to play part in formation of lymphocytes & antibodies • Thymus – controls development of immune system

  27. Lymph nodes, Lymphocytes and macrophages • Lymph nodes contain lymphocytes and macrophages • These cells destroy bacteria by ingesting (swallowing) it • During infection lymphocytes& macrophages multiply rapidly causing lymph nodes to swell & be painful

  28. Word parts

  29. Immunity – Disease protection • Antigen – foreign body substance that causes formation of an antibody to fight against it • Antibody - substance that can destroy antigens that have entered the body

  30. Word parts

  31. Pus • Liquid made up of proteins, tissue fluids containing bacteria, & leucocytes • Formed in response to infection

  32. Immune response • Identification & destruction of anything that is foreign i.e antigens • Includes transplanted organs or body cells that have changed their form e.g. malignant cells

  33. Immune response to infection • Lymph gland swell • FBC (Full Blood Count) will show increase in WBC ( white blood cells) • Lymph glands and FBC returns to normal when bacteria or microorganisms are destroyed

  34. Immune response to infection • Lymphocytes become memory cells and respond rapidly if exposed to the same organism again This is the basis of immunity
