Just The Facts About Whole Blood• Slightly _________ (pH = 7.34 – 7.45)

• Temperature (______ degrees F)

• Makes up __% of total body weight

• Average amount in body (males _____L, females _____L)

• Functions include O2 to _____, transporting metabolic ______ out of cells, transporting ________, maintaining body ________, maintaining normal ___, adequate fluid _______, body defense, clotting for injuries

Major Components of Whole Blood

• _______ (___%) – liquid portion of the blood, mostly water, dissolved solutes (plasma proteins such as the buffer albumin, nutrients, gases, hormones, wastes, etc.)

• _________ or white blood cells, and _________ (<1%)

• ________ or red blood cells (45%)

DISCUSSION

Is blood blue when it is in your veins? And red only when it is exposed to air?

DISCUSSION continued

• What do you already know about red blood cells (RBC’s)?

Erythrocytes (RBC’s)

Shape - small, __________ flattened discs with depressed centers

Have a plasma membrane but no _______ in mature cells. Essentially, no ________ either.

97% ____________ (protein that functions in gas transport).

FACT: A single RBC contains 250 million hemoglobin molecules so each can scoop up about 1 billion molecules of O2

Where are RBC’s Made?• Red bone marrow of the ______ skeleton

and _____, _____ bones (____ and femur)

• Blood cell formation called hematopoiesis; RBC formation is called erythropoiesis

• __ oz new blood made every day

Know Your Erythrocyte Disorders

Instructions: With a partner, quickly reference pgs 576 – 577. Describe what characterizes each disorder: (Estimated Time = 5-6 minutes)

1. anemias (describe the three caused by

insufficient number of red blood cells, and the

two caused by low hemoglobin content)

2. abnormal hemoglobin (thalassemias and

sickle-cell disease)

3. polycythemia

*NOTE: Learn these for your first test

Leukocytes (WBC’s)

• Have _____ and _______

• Formation called leukopoiesis

• Crucial to our defense against ________

Granulocytes• Neutrophils – ____ ________ of the

WBC’s; twice as large as RBC’s; phagocytize ________

• Basophils – _____ of the WBC’s; release histamines; contain heparin (an anticoagulant)

• Eosinophils – bi-lobed; kill parasitic _____

Do you know what phagocytize means? If not, look it up! Be curious & proactive in your study habits.

Agranulocytes (lack visible cytoplasmic granules)

• Lymphocytes – ______ ______ numerous WBC; not many in the blood – contained in the lymph. T-lymphocytes (fight tumors and viruses)

• Monocytes – the _______ WBC; circulate in the blood and can leave the bloodstream to enter tissues; fight ______, _______, and ______ infections such as TB

Learning More About Leukocyte Disorders

Instructions: Individually, review the 2 disorders (leukemia and infectious mononucleosis), pgs 581 – 582

Describe the disorders and what has gone wrong in your notes.

Platelets, page 583

• Very small fragments of larger cells called megakaryocytes

• Essential for ______ (coagulation). Stick to a damaged site & form a plug that seals the vascular break

• Platelet formation called _____________. Regulated by a hormone called thrombopoietin.

3 Steps Occur When Cut1.

Platelet Disorders Instructions: Individually review “Bleeding Disorders”,

page 589. Briefly describe the following disorders in your notes: (Estimated Time: 4-5 minutes)

1. thrombocytopenia 2. impaired liver function 3. hemophilia A

DISCUSSION

• Do you know your blood type? Why is it important?

Blood Groups There are several types of blood grouping

systems. ABO and Rh are the most well-known.

In the ABO system, there are 4 blood types: 1.

2.3.4.

And, a person is either Rh – or Rh +

Blood Groups continued

• The differences in human blood are due to the presence or absence of certain protein molecules called _______ (located on the surface of RBC’s) and ________ (proteins in the blood plasma).

• Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or _________, which is dangerous for individuals.

Type A

If you belong to the blood group A, you have A ________ on the surface of your red blood cells and B _______ in your blood plasma.

Type B

If you belong to the blood group B, you have B _________ on the surface of your red blood cells and A _______ in your blood plasma.

Type AB

If you belong to the blood group AB, you have _____ A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and __ A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma.

Type O

If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have ______ A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have ____ A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.

Rh Factors• Many people also have a ‘so called’ Rh

factor on the red blood cell's surface. This is also an antigen and those who have it are called ____.

• Those who haven't are called Rh-. A person with Rh- blood does ___ have Rh antibodies naturally in the blood plasma.
