•What is the liquid part of the blood called?
3
Blood•What is the primary function of the blood?
▫Transportation Nutrients and oxygen carried to all body cells Eliminates carbon dioxide and other waste
products•What is the liquid part of the blood
called?▫Plasma: consists of salts, small amounts of
O2, waste products, hormones, plasma proteins and antibodies
4
Blood
•What are the formed elements of the blood?
5
Blood•What are the formed elements of the
blood?▫RBC: erythrocytes, transport O2 to cells and
CO2 away, special shape to increase surface area
▫WBC: leukocytes, defend body from microorganisms, 5 types Lymphocytes Monocytes Basophils Neutrophils Eosinophils
▫Platelets: thrombocytes, initiate blood clots
6
•Neutrophils : (granular)▫Most numerous▫Protect the body from invading micro-organisms
by engulfing them in phagocytosis•Monocytes: (nongranular)
▫The largest leukocytes▫Can engulf larger bacterial organisms and
cancerous cells in phagocytosis
7
WBC (Leukocytes)
•Lymphocytes (nongranular)▫Help protect us against infections using immune
mechanism▫B lymphocytes secrete antibodies that destroy
particular bacteria, viruses, or chemical toxins▫T lymphocytes protect directly by attacking bacteria
or cancerous cells•Eosinophils: (granular)
▫Protection against infections caused by certain parasites
▫Also involved in allergic reactions
8
WBC (Leukocytes)
•Basophils: (granular)▫Produce heparin▫Secrete histamine in peripheral blood, released
during inflammatory reactions
9
WBC (Leukocytes)
Questions?
10
What is the difference between serum and plasma?
11
What is the difference between serum and plasma?•Serum is the blood plasma minus its
clotting factors. It still contains antibodies
•Plasma is the liquid part of blood. It contains digested food, metabolic waste products and proteins.
12
Anemia
•What is anemia?
13
Anemia
•What is anemia?▫Number of different disease conditions
caused by an inability of the blood to carry sufficient oxygen to the body cells
▫Anemia can be caused by a deficiency of red blood cells (erythrocytes)
▫Deficiency of hemoglobin
14
Blood Type•A
▫A antigen in cell membrane▫Anti-B antibodies in plasma
•B▫B antigen in cell membrane▫Anti-A antibodies in plasma
•AB▫A & B antigens in cell membrane▫No antibodies in plasma
•O▫Neither A nor B antigens▫Anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma
15
Blood Type - Let’s Practice
•I have anti-B antibodies in my plasma. What blood type am I?
•I have no antibodies in my plasma. What blood type am I?
• I have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in my plasma. What blood type am I?
16
17
Circulation
•What are the blood vessels called that carry blood toward the heart?
•What are the blood vessels called that carry blood away from the heart?
•What are the small blood vessels called that carry blood from the arterioles to the venules?
18
Circulation
•What are the blood vessels called that carry blood toward the heart?▫veins
•What are the blood vessels called that carry blood away from the heart?▫Arteries
•What are the small blood vessels called that carry blood from the arterioles to the venules? ▫capillaries
19
From lungs (O2 rich) – pulmonary veins – L atrium – L ventricle – aorta – body
From body (O2 poor) – vena cava – R atrium – R ventricle – pulmonary artery - lungs
22
Questions?
23
Lymphatic System• Lymph—fluid in the tissue spaces that carries protein
molecules and other substances back to the blood• Lymphatic vessels—permit only one-way movement of
lymph▫ Lymphatic capillaries—tiny blind-ended tubes distributed in
tissue spaces Microscopic in size Sheets consisting of one cell layer of simple squamous
epithelium Poor “fit” between adjacent cells results in porous walls Called lacteals in the intestinal wall (fat transportation from
food to bloodstream)▫ Right lymphatic duct
Drains lymph from the right upper extremity and right side of head, neck, and upper torso
▫ Thoracic duct Largest lymphatic vessel Drains lymph from about three-fourths of the body
24
Thymus
▫Lymphoid tissue organ located in mediastinum
▫Total weight of 35 to 40 g—a little more than an ounce
▫Plays a vital and central role in immunity▫Produces T-lymphocytes, or T cells▫Secretes hormones called thymosins
25
Tonsils
▫Composed of three masses of lymphoid tissue around the openings of the mouth and throat Palatine tonsils (“the tonsils”) Pharyngeal tonsils (also known as adenoids) Lingual tonsils
▫Subject to chronic infection▫Enlargement of pharyngeal tonsils may
impair breathing
26
Spleen
▫Largest lymphoid organ in body▫Located in upper left quadrant of abdomen▫Often injured by trauma to abdomen▫Surgical removal called splenectomy▫Functions include phagocytosis of bacteria
and old RBCs; acts as a blood reservoir
27
Lymph nodes
▫Filter lymph▫Located in clusters along the pathway of
lymphatic vessels▫Functions include defense and WBC
formation Filter bacteria from lymph
28
What is the largest lymph vessel in the body?
What does the thymus do?
What do lymph nodes do?
What does the spleen do?
Review
What is the largest lymph vessel in the body?
Thoracic ductWhat does the thymus do?
helps T lymphocytes mature
What do lymph nodes do?Filter bacteriaMay spread cancer or
bacteria to other nodesWhat does the spleen do?
Salvages iron from hemoglobin, destroys old RBCs, filter bacteria, reservoir for blood
Review
Antigens and Antibodies•Antigens:
▫Can be a toxin or a protein in the surface membrane of invading or diseased cells
▫cause the formation of antibodies ▫cause immature B cells to become activated B cells
•Antibodies: ▫Protein compounds normally present in the body▫Combines with an antigen to change the invading
cell into something that cannot harm the body▫produced by B lymphocytes (a type of WBC)
31
Complement•A group of protein enzymes•Activated by antibodies•“Drill” doughnut-shaped complexes in the plasma membrane of a bacterium•These holes allow sodium and then water to diffuse into the bacterium•When enough water enters, the swollen bacterium bursts
