9. 9 Red Blood Cell Counts RBC counts is the number of RBCs in a cubic millimeter or microliter of blood It may vary depending on age and health Typical ranges include: 4,600,000 – 6,200,000 in males (Why so high?) 4,200,000 – 5,400,000 in adult females (Why so low?) 4,500,000 – 5,100,000 in children (Why more than women?) RBC counts reflect blood’s oxygen carrying capacity

10. 10 Red Blood Cell Production and Its Control Low blood oxygen causes the kidneys and the liver to release erythropoietin (EPO) which stimulates RBC production This is a negative feedback mechanism (What does this mean?) Within a few days many new blood cells appear in the circulating blood Low blood oxygen LiverKidney Erythropoietin Red bone marrow + – Bloodstream Stimulation Inhibition Release into bloodstream Increased oxygen- carrying capacity Increased number of red blood cells Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

15. 15 Types of White Blood Cells White blood cells: Are leukocytes Protect against disease WBC hormones are interleukins and colony-stimulating factors which stimulate development There are five types of WBCs in two categories: Granulocytes Neutrophils Eosinophils Basophils Agranulocytes Lymphocytes Monocytes

16. 16 Neutrophils Light purple granules in acid-base (neutral) stain Lobed nucleus Other names Segs Polymorphonuclear leukocyte Bands (young neutrophils) First to arrive at infections Phagocytic (What is this?) 54% - 62% of leukocytes Elevated in bacterial infections (Why?) © Ed Reschke Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

17. 17 Eosinophils Deep red granules in acid stain Bi-lobed nucleus Moderate allergic reactions Defend against parasitic worm infestations 1% - 3% of leukocytes Elevated in parasitic worm infections and allergic reactions © Ed Reschke Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

23. 23 White Blood Cell Counts A procedure used to count number of WBCs per cubic millimeter of blood Typically 5,000 – 10,000 per cubic millimeter of blood Leukopenia: Low WBC count (below 5,000) Typhoid fever, flu, measles, mumps, chicken pox, AIDS (Why?) Leukocytosis: High WBC count (above 10,000) Acute infections, vigorous exercise, great loss of body fluids (Why?) Differential WBC count Lists percentages of types of leukocytes May change in particular diseases

24. 24

25. 25 Blood Platelets Platelets are also known as thrombocytes They are cell fragments of megakaryocytes They lack a nucleus and are roughly half the size of a RBC There are approximately 130,000 – 360,000 per cubic millimeter of blood They help repair damaged blood vessels by sticking to broken surfaces

26. 26

27. 27 14.3: Blood Plasma Blood plasma is: Straw colored The liquid portion of blood 55% of blood volume 92% water Function includes transporting nutrients, gases, and vitamins Helps regulate fluid and electrolyte balance and maintain pH (How?)

28. 28 Plasma Proteins These are the most abundant dissolved substances (solutes) in plasma

29. 29 Gases and Nutrients The most important blood gases: Oxygen Carbon dioxide Plasma nutrients include: Amino acids Simple sugars Nucleotides Lipids Fats (triglycerides) Phospholipids Cholesterol

30. 30 Nonprotein Nitrogenous Substances These are molecules containing nitrogen but are not proteins In plasma they include: Urea – product of protein catabolism; about 50% of nonprotein nitrogenous substances (What’s catabolism?) Uric acid – product of nucleic acid catabolism (When would this happen?) Amino acids – product of protein catabolism Creatine – stores phosphates (For what purposes?) Creatinine – product of creatine metabolism BUN – blood urea nitrogen; indicates health of kidney (Why is this an indicator of kidney health?)

31. 31 Plasma Electrolytes Plasma contains a variety of these ions called electrolytes They are absorbed from the intestine or released as by- products of cellular metabolism (What are they used for?) They include: Sodium (most abundant with chloride) Potassium Calcium Magnesium Chloride (most abundant with sodium) Bicarbonate Phosphate Sulfate

32. 32 14.4: Hemostasis Hemostasis refers to the stoppage of bleeding Actions that limit or prevent blood loss include: Blood vessel spasm Platelet plug formation Blood coagulation

33. 33 Blood Vessel Spasm Blood vessel spasm Triggered by pain receptors, platelet release, or serotonin Smooth muscle in blood vessel contracts (What does this do?)

34. 34 Platelet Plug Formation Platelet plug formation Triggered by exposure of platelets to collagen Platelets adhere to rough surface to form a plug Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Endothelial liningCollagen fiber PlateletRed blood cell 1 2 3 4 Break in vessel wall Blood escaping through break Platelet plug helps control blood loss Platelets adhere to each othe, to end of broken vessel, and to exposed collagen

35. 35 Blood Coagulation Blood coagulation Triggered by cellular damage and blood contact with foreign surfaces A blood clot forms This is a: Hemostatic mechanism Causes the formation of a blood clot via a series of reactions which activates the next in a cascade Occurs extrinsically or intrinsically

36. 36

37. 37 Extrinsic Clotting Mechanism Extrinsic clotting mechanism Chemical outside of blood vessel triggers blood coagulation Triggered by tissue thromboplastin (factor III) (not found in blood) A number of events occur that includes factor VII, factor X, factor V, factor IV, and factor II (prothrombin) Triggered when blood contacts damaged blood vessel walls or tissues This is an example of a positive feedback mechanism (Why? How does this differ from a negative feedback mechanism?)

42. 42 Fate of Blood Clots After a blood clot forms it retracts and pulls the edges of a broken blood vessel together while squeezing the fluid serum from the clot Platelet-derived growth factor stimulates smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts to repair damaged blood vessel walls Plasmin digests the blood clots A thrombus is an abnormal blood clot An embolus is a blood clot moving through the blood vessels

43. 43 Prevention of Coagulation The smooth lining of blood vessels discourages the accumulation of platelets and clotting factors As a clot forms fibrin absorbs thrombin and prevents the clotting reaction from spreading Anti-thrombin inactivates additional thrombin by binding to it and blocking its action on fibrinogen Some cells such as basophils and mast cells secrete heparin (an anticoagulant)

46. 46 14.5: Blood Groups and Transfusions In 1910, identification of the ABO blood antigen gene explained the observed blood type incompatibilities Today there are 31 different genes known to contribute to the surface features of RBCs determining compatibility between blood types

47. 47 Antigens and Antibodies Terms to become familiar with: Agglutination – clumping of red blood cells in response to a reaction between an antibody and an antigen Antigens – a chemical that stimulates cells to produce antibodies Antibodies – a protein that reacts against a specific antigen

48. 48 ABO Blood Group Based on the presence or absence of two major antigens on red blood cell membranes Antigen A Antigen B
