1-hematology Flashcards
what system is blood part of?
cardiovascular system (heart + blood vessels + blood)
is blood a connective tissue?
YES
3 functions of blood?
- trans
- regulation
- protection
components of blood?
fluid and cellular elements:
plasma, buffy coat, red blood cells (platelets, leukocytes, and erythrocytes)
Buffy Coat components?
white blood cells and platelets 1%
Hematocrit (PVC)
% of total blood vol red blood cells 40%
Plasma
proteins (7g/dl) (albumins 50%, globulins 45%, fibrogen 4%, and others 1%), water 91.5%, other solutes (electrolytes, nutrients, gases, regulators, vitamins, waste prod)
Plasma proteins do what?
maintain plasma oncotic pressure (water balance b/w intra and extracellular fluid compartments)
where are plasma proteins derived?
liver
what are plasma proteins involved in?
trans, defense, and blood pressure
plasma protein can increase inflammations called? haemo-concentrations?
acute phase proteins (greater in lg animals) ABSOLUTE increase or increase haemo-concentration/dehydration RELATIVE increase
what do plasma proteins do in end stage liver disease?
can decrease (lack of production)
where do all formed blood elements originate from?
the same pluri-potent stem cell pool
pluri-potent differentiates into?
myeloid and lymphoid
myeloid stem cells create?
rbc, platelets, monocytes, and granulocytes
lymphoid stem cells create?
B and T lymphocytes
Hemopoiesis occurs?
in the rd bone marrow and lymphoid tissues (before birth in the spleen, liver thymus, yolk sac, and lymph nodes)
major site for erythropoiseis in adults?
flat bones-sternum, ribs, pelvis (liver and spleen contribute when challenged)
what conrols hemopoiesis?
colony stimulating factors (interlukins, cytokines, thrombopoietin, and erythropoietin)
total blood vol in adults?
6-8% of body weight or 60-80 ml/Kg BW (cats are lower than dogs adn warm blooded horses and birds are higher)
how much blood can be safely withdrawn from a patient?
1% of BW or 10 ml/Kg, MAX 2% or 20ml?kg in a healthy donor animal
fluid into a severely dehydrated patient?
can give up tot he equivalent of their total blood vol within 1hr using crystalloids. 7% of BW after and 1h 75% of the fluid will have moved to tissues rehydrating ECF and ICF.
mx fluids?
same vol over 24 hrs
RBC/Erythrocytes
contain ox carrying hemoglobin, main function is the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and regulate pH
erythroid
precursors and RBCs
RBC shape
biconcave round or oval (camelids) discs-lg surface area for gas exchange
RBC size
7um in man 4-8um in animals
RBC concentration
5 million/ul in man 5-10 million in animals
RBC content
33% hemoglobin NO mitochondria, NO golgi, NO ER
RBC metabolism
energy depends on anaerobic glycolysis (no mitochondria no krebs no beta oxidation no ETC) glucose dependent
RBCs in Reptiles/Amphibians/Birds
nucleated (non functional), larger, oval, almond shape
Largest known RBC
salamander 3-x65um
RBCs in Fish
nucleated, produced in spleen and liver (bony fish), within circulation in cartilaginous fish (shark)
RBC functions
- oxygen transport (influences by temp, pH, metabolism, and carbonmonoxide)
- carbon dioxide trans (23% of total CO2 binds to flobulin portions)
- Carbon dioxide trans as bicarbonate to buffer (tissues-co2 into RBC HCO3 back into plasma and H to globin, Lung-HCO3 back into RC H binds and CO2 expired)
RBC travel and life span?
2.5km or 1.5 mi, 4-5 month life (cat and pig are 2 months and 5 weeks in birds)…..1% die everyday RBC production = RBC death/removal
removal of aged RBCs?
- rupture during spleen passage and absorbed by macrophages
2. selectively removed by phagocytic system, spleen, liver, and bone marrow
globulin recycled?
reused for protein synth
protoporphyrin recycled?
hem after Fe removal–> bilirubin —> liver bile
Fe recycle?
binds to plasma –> Transferin released when needed .. when fll Fe stores in liver, pancreas, and heart, can leade to toxic cell damage.
tissue oxygenation controls?
erythropoiesis-hypoxia–>renal (90-95%) Liver (5-10%)–>EPO—>bone marrow–>stimulation–> new RBCs
extrusion of nucleus
reticulocyte
stem cell to reticulocyte?
4-5 days
reticulocytes
immature RBC, marrow into circulation and mature in 1-2 days, 1-2% in normal blood (horses and ruminants no reticulocytes)
peak RBC production after challenge? replacement?
7 days, 14 days
