[2] Lecture 14-blood And Hemostasis Flashcards
Blood is ___ % of the body’s weight
8
Ph range of blood
7.35-7.45
Blood - formed elements [calls/PLTs] =
Plasma
Plasma w/o blood-clotting proteins:
Serum
3 layers in heparinized and centrifuges blood:
Supernatant
Buffy coat
Precipitate
Supernatant
Plasma
Buffy coat
Leukocytes
Precipitate
Sedimented red blood cells
Average male blood stats
5-6 L
44-54% formed elements
47% hematocrit
Average Female blood stats
4-5 L
38-48% formed elements
42% hematocrit
3 types of blood proteins:
Fibrinogens
albumins
Globulins
Made in liver
Function in blood clotting
Target for thrombin
Fibrinogen
Made in liver
Exert major osmotic pressure on blood vessel walls
Albumin
Immunoglobulins
Globulins
Hormone that increases # of RBC-erythrocytes
Erythropoietin
4-5 x10^3/µL in males
3.5-5x10^3/µL in females
Norm RBC count
What organ produces erythropoietin?
Kidney
RBC are devoid of:
Granules and organelles
Major contents of RBCs:
Lipids, ATP, Carbonic anhydrase, hemoglobin
Proteins in RBCs:
50% are integral membrane proteins
Spectrin and actin are peripheral proteins
RBC have been useful for studying what?
Cortical cytoskeleton
Why’re RBC membranes and proteins easily isolated?
No nucleus or organelles
Principal determinant of cell shape in RBC?
Cortical cytoskeleton
No cytoskeletal components
Major structural protein in RBCs and is a member of the calponin family of actin-binding proteins.
Spectrin
This is a tetramer of 2 polypeptide chains, alpha and beta.
Ends of the tetramers asso. W/ short actin filaments
Spectrin
The asso. Results in spectrin-actin network.
Links the spectrin-actin network and the plasma membrane by binding to spectrin and a transmembrane protein [band 3]
ankyrin
Another link that binds spectrin-actin junctions and the transmembrane protein glycophorin
Protein 4.1
Difference btw ankyrin and protein 4.1:
Protein 4.1 links glycophorin
Ankyrin links to band 3 [anion transport channel w/ HCO3-
Protein 4.1 can also be called:
Beta sheet domain
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs)
Neutrophils
7-9µm 3-5 nuclear lobes Active amoeboid phagocytes Granulocyte containing lysozyme and other proteases and elastase and myeloperoxidases
Neutrophils
How long do neutrophils stay in circulation? After circulation?
10-12 hours in circulation
1-2 days out of circulation in tissue [out circulation]
How is neutrophil capable of destroying bacteria?
Secretion of enzymes by forming free radicals [superoxides] and release of lysozyme and lactoferrin [which destroy bacterial walls
What is the point of the nucleus of the neutrophil?
Barb= tells that it is female neutrophil. It shows inactive X chromosome.
Named after patient “barb” it was first noticed.
7-9 µm Bilobed Large, membrane-bound granules Contains: serotonin, heparin, kallikrein Can produce leukotrienes
Basophils
Heparin
Anticoagulant
Kallikrein
Attracts eosinophils
What do leukotrienes do?
Increases vascular permeability
Slow contraction of smooth muscles
9-10µm Bilobed nucleus Respond to allergic rxn and parasites Phagocytize antibody-antigen complexes and parasites 3 specific granules:
Eosinophil
3 specific granules for eosinophils:
Major basic protein (MBP)-parasite disruption
Peroxidase
Cationic protein: neutralizes heparin and anti-parasitic effect
Eosinophil is stained: color?
W/ eosin- stained
Pink.
Lighter than basophils
Large round sometimes slightly indented nucleus, fills most of cell
Variation in size from 6-18µm-small, medium, large
B and T
Lymphocytes
Precursor of plasma cell
B lymphocyte
Precursor of T lymphocyte.
T lymphocyte
How do T and B lymphocyte differ on microscope slide?
Cant distinguish difference
Largest leukocyte 9-12µM Eccentrically located: one side of the cell Kidney shaped nucleus Granular cytoplasm d.t small lysosomes Precursor of macrophages and osteoclasts
Monocytes
2µM
200,000-400,000 /mL of blood
Enhance aggregation by release of factors, and they promote clot formation, retraction,and dissolution
Platelets
