Granulocytes
Neutrophils
Multilobed nucleus with fine granules Act as phagocytes at active sites of infection

Lymphocytes
Nucleus fills most of the cell Play an important role in the immune response
Monocytes
Largest of the white blood cells Function as macrophages Important in fighting chronic infection

Slide 10.12
Platelets
Derived from ruptured multinucleate cells (megakaryocytes) Needed for the clotting process Normal platelet count = 300,000/mm3
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.13
Hematopoiesis
Blood cell formation Occurs in red bone marrow All blood cells are derived from a common stem cell (hemocytoblast) Hemocytoblast differentiation
Lymphoid stem cell produces lymphocytes Myeloid stem cell produces other formed elements
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.14
Fate of Erythrocytes
Unable to divide, grow, or synthesize proteins Wear out in 100 to 120 days When worn out, are eliminated by phagocytes in the spleen or liver Lost cells are replaced by division of hemocytoblasts

Slide 10.15
Slide 10.16
Hemostasis
Stoppage of blood flow Result of a break in a blood vessel Hemostasis involves three phases
Platelet plug formation Vascular spasms Coagulation
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.18
Slide 10.19
Vascular Spasms
Anchored platelets release serotonin Serotonin causes blood vessel muscles to spasm Spasms narrow the blood vessel, decreasing blood loss
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.20
Coagulation
Injured tissues release thromboplastin PF3 (a phospholipid) interacts with thromboplastin, blood protein clotting factors, and calcium ions to trigger a clotting cascade Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin (an enzyme)
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.21a
Coagulation
Thrombin joins fibrinogen proteins into hair-like fibrin Fibrin forms a meshwork (the basis for a clot)
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.21b
Blood Clotting
Blood usually clots within 3 to 6 minutes The clot remains as endothelium regenerates The clot is broken down after tissue repair
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.22
Undesirable Clotting
Thrombus
A clot in an unbroken blood vessel Can be deadly in areas like the heart
Embolus
A thrombus that breaks away and floats freely in the bloodstream Can later clog vessels in critical areas such as the brain
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.23
Bleeding Disorders
Thrombocytopenia
Platelet deficiency Even normal movements can cause bleeding from small blood vessels that require platelets for clotting
Hemophilia
Hereditary bleeding disorder Normal clotting factors are missing
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.24
Transfusions are the only way to replace blood quickly Transfused blood must be of the same blood group
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.25
Slide 10.26a
There are over 30 common red blood cell antigens The most vigorous transfusion reactions are caused by ABO and Rh blood group antigens
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.26b
Slide 10.27a
The presence of both A and B is called type AB The presence of either A or B is called types A and B, respectively
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.27b
Rh Blood Groups
Named because of the presence or absence of one of eight Rh antigens (agglutinogen D) Most Americans are Rh+ Problems can occur in mixing Rh+ blood into a body with Rh blood
Copyright2003PearsonEducation,Inc.publishingasBenjaminCummings
Slide 10.28
Danger is only when the mother is Rh and the father is Rh+, and the child inherits the Rh+ factor

Slide 10.29a
Slide 10.29b
Blood Typing
Blood samples are mixed with anti-A and anti-B serum Coagulation or no coagulation leads to determining blood type Typing for ABO and Rh factors is done in the same manner Cross matching testing for agglutination of donor RBCs by the recipients serum, and vice versa

granulation- stippling in
Abnormalities in cell shape - ovalocytosis - nucleated RBC - sickling - Howell-Jolly bodies - Burr cells - spherocytes Hereditary disorders Sickle cell anemia Thalassemia - hereditary elliptocytosis - G6PD deficiency
Methemoglobin - increased ferrous iron is oxidized to ferric state ( resulting in deranged oxygen transport) - inborn errors of metabolism
Osmotic Fragility Test- hemolysis Reticulocyte Count Erythrocyte Sedimentation (ESR) Rate: M>F - increased in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions (PTB, ARF, RA) Blood Typing-ABO Rhesus factor: Rh+ (majority) = Rh(minority)
COAGULATION DISORDERS
Hemophilia
A - absence of Factor VIII Hemophilia B absence of Factor IX Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) Glanzmanns disease (thrombasthenia) = normal platelet count but impaired function Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)- imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis (trauma, shock, pregnancy, parturition)
PLATELET DIAGNOSTICS
BLEEDING TIME prolonged in deficiencies or abnormalities of platelets CLOTTING TIME from a WHOLE blood specimen PLATELET COUNT increased in collagen diseases; decreased in toxic or diseased states PROTHROMBIN TIME time required to form a clot. >1 (INR) means it is prolonged and may mean a deficiency of prothrombin, vitamin K, anticoagulants PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME clotting factor deficiency (N: 22 to 37 secs) CLOT RETRACTION function of platelet
