Human Blood Smear 40X objective (400X) Leukocyte Erythrocyte Platelet
• Least dense component Formed elements Plasma • 55% of whole blood • Least dense component Buffy coat • Leukocytes and platelets • <1% of whole blood Erythrocytes Withdraw blood and place in tube. 1 Centrifuge the blood sample. 2 • 45% of whole blood (hematocrit) • Most dense component © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
X 100 Hematocrit = % blood occupied by cells Height of cells in mm Plasma Buffy Coat (WBCs + Platelets) Erythrocytes Air Clay Height of cells in mm Height of total in mm X 100 Expressed as % Typical = 45% Total Cells
Antigens present on Erythrocytes: Purified antibodies used to detect antigens: Antibody + Antigen = agglutination reaction (clumping)
