Front Back
specialized cells cannot
move from their own waste, protect itself, seek food
internal environment is made up of
extracellularfluids (interstitial fluid, plasma, lymph) & intracellular fluids
hematocrit
formed elements of the blood (45%)
plasma
55% of total blood volume. 92% water. 7% plasma proteins. 1% other solutes
plama proteins
Albumins (too large to leave by diffusion) (so watermoves in via osmosis) Globulins (hormones and antibodies) Fibrinogen (blood clotting, inactive)
formed elements composed of
erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes
erythrocytes
red blood cells. 45-52% in men. 37-48% in females
who has higher erythrocyte count and why
higherwith exercise and elevation malehave higher metabolic rate than women, so need more oxygen, more RBC
leukocytes
WBC - granulocytes and agranulocytes
granulocytes
neutrophils - 60-70% eosinophins - 2-4% basophils - .5-1%
agranulocytes
lymphocytes- 25-33% monocytes - 3-8%
thrombocytes
platelets. clotting. come from megakarocytes.
STAGESOF BLOOD CELL FORMATION
yolk, hepatic, myeloid
yolk sac
Mammalskept yolk sac bc this is how we can get blood cellswhile we can’t make them ourselves yet. Yolk sac also deals with sperm and egg -3rd week to end 2nd month
hepatic
Hepaticstage: liver makes RBC, then spleen makes RBC, 2nd month - little after birth
hepatic
redbone marrow makes RBC. In the beginning,Bone marrow from all bones can make blood cells. By 20 yrs old, only a few can: ribs,sternum, hips, end of long bones.
Myeloid stage
redbone marrow makes RBC. In the beginning,Bone marrow from all bones can make blood cells. By 20 yrs old, only a few can: ribs,sternum, hips, end of long bones.
HEMATOPOIESIS
making of RBC
Hemocytoblast
Astem cell capable of developing into any type of blood cell. That depends onthe growth factor present. Can become any formed element
2 paths of hemocytoblast
myeloid stem cell, lymphoid stem cell
growth factors in hematopoiesis
- erythropoietingoes to myeloid to make erythrocytes - thrombopoietin goes to myeloid to makemegakaryocytic - leukopoientins can go to myeloid to makeneutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes (nonspecific immunity) - leukopoitentins can go to lymphoid to makelymphocytes …
Chemotherapy & RBC
-kills rapidly dividing cells, so also kill dividing cells that will becomeerythrocytes (so patients under treatment get tired). reduced
ERYTHROCYTES shape & function
biconcave disk, flexible, not true cell, filled with hemoglobin. No nucleus, no organelle, flexible membrane
HEMOGLOBIN
4 proteins (globins) with 4 iron heme groups. can carry 4 o2 or 4 co2
ERYTHROCYTELIFESPAN
120 days
decrease blood 02 chain reaction
decrease blood co2, kidneys release erythropoietin, stimulating myeloid stem cells to produce RBC, new RBC in blood increase blood 02, shut off. (neg feedback)
erythrocytes need these to synthesize
iron, globulin, b12, erythropoietin
RBC destroyed by
liver and spleen (2m per sec)
cycle of recycling hemoglobin
see card
neutrophils job
get bacteria, 1st line of defense
eosinophils job
antihistomines, allergens;anti-parasitic
basophils job
secretehistamine (swell) and heparin (no blood clots)
lymphocytes job
specific immunity
monocytes
becomemacrophages, cronic infections, wound sites
containment of pathogens
WBChave receptors for chemotactic factors, which are released by hurt cells. Thesefactors hit the wall of vessels, and bind to WBC. Margination: pull off to the side of vesseland away from circulation Pavementing: so many are attracted that theybecome ‘paved’ Diapedesis: wiggl…
HEMOSTASIS
control of bleeding
mechanisms after injury
vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, coagulation
parts of platelet plug
adhesion - Collagen fibers attract platelets release reaction - Platelets that are stuck break open andrelease clotting factors aggregation - which attracts more platelets to clingand break, so on (positive feedback)
how does it know to coagulate
extrinsic - damaged pathways release factor 3, factor 7, to factor x intrinsic - platelets release 12, 11, 9, 8
coagulation
factor 10 activates prothrombinase, converting prothrombin to throbin. that converts frbrinogen to fibrin. the fibrin polymer and platelet plug make the clot
FIBRINOLYSIS
CLOTDISSOLUTION
process of FIBRINOLYSIS
prekallikrein activates 7. activates kallikrein converts plasminogen to plasmin which makes fibrin polymer break down fibin
