- Composition of blood
a/ What is the general composition of the blood plasma?
90% water
8% plasma proteins
2% other organic compounds
- Composition of blood
c/ What is the formula and normal value of hematocrit?
Hematocrit = Height of RBCs/ Total height
Normal value: 0.42 – 0.46
- Composition of blood
d1/ Describe the permeability of capillaries to proteins? What can you conclude about the role of of proteins in blood?
Capillaries have low permeability to proteins
=> Proteins are responsible for the osmotic pressure gradient between intravascular and interstitial compartments
- Composition of blood
d2/ What are the principal plasma proteins? What are their percentages?
Albumin: app. 80% - A major contributor to the colloid pressure
Globulins: app. 20%
Fibrinogen: app 0%
- Composition of blood
d3/ What is the role of principal plasma proteins?
distribution of the total colloid osmotic pressure
- Composition of blood
d3/ Where are principal plasma proteins produced?
Produced by liver (majority) and B-lymphocytes (immunoglobulins
- Composition of blood
e1/ What is the normal value and life span of RBCs?
NV: 4.5 – 5 million/ µl
LS: 120 days

e2/ What is the normal value and life span of Platelets?
NV: 300 000/ µl
LS: 7 – 10 days
- Composition of blood
e3/ What is the normal value and life span of WBCs?
NV: 7000/ µl
LS: From 8 hours to years
- Composition of blood
e4/ What are the 5 types of WBCs?
1/ Neutrophil granulocyte
2/ Lymphocyte
3/ Monocyte
4/ Eosinophil

- Composition of blood
e7/ What is the normal value of Eosinophil?
200/ µl
- Composition of blood
e8/ What is the normal value of Basophil?
50/ µl
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
a/ Definition of hematopoiesis
the production of all the cellular components of the blood and blood plasma
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
b/ What are the 2 types of hematopoiesis
1/ Constitutive (steady-state)
2/ Stress-induced
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
c/ Location of hematopoiesis
Hematopoiesis takes place at different locations in a fetus and an adult
1/ Intrauterine (within uterus)
- Yolk sac -> Liver, spleen -> Bone marrow
2/ Extrauterine (forming outside the uterus; adult)
- Exclusively in red bone marrow within axial skeleton (pelvis, sternum, vertebrae) and long bones
- Lymphocytes in spleen and lymph nodes
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
d/ Definition and role of Constitutive hematopoiesis
- Definition: Continuous replenishment of blood cells throughout lifetime
- Role: Maintain the balance (used up + produce new ones)
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
e/ Definition of Stress-induced hematopoiesis
Increased output of certain blood cells induced by a stress signal
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
f/ 2 examples of Stress-induced hematopoiesis
1/ Hypoxia will lead to increased production of RBCs
2/ Infection will lead to increased production of granulocytes (WBC)
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
g1/ Structure of bone marrow
The bone marrow contains yellow and red bone marrow
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
g2/ Characteristics of Yellow bone marrow
Yellow bone marrow contain inactive, mainly fat cells
- HEMATOPOIESIS A
g3/ Characteristics of Red bone marrow
Red bone marrow contains actively producing RBCs
- Also contains hematopoietic cells, stromal cells and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC)
- Stromal cells serve as structural support, signaling and control of hematopoietic cell maturation
- HEMATOPOIESIS B
h/ What is definition of Hematopoietic stem cells?
HSCs cells are cells in which all the cells of the circulating blood are derived from
- HEMATOPOIESIS B
i/ What are the characteristics of Hematopoietic stem cells?
1/ Uncommitted
2/ Asymmetric division
3/ Self-renewal capacity
4/ Pluri/multipotency (able to differentiate other cells)
5/ Don’t have specific morphology (cell surface markers)
- HEMATOPOIESIS B
j/ Role of surface markers
the determination of mature cells or stem cells which can be used to measure or count different types of cells
- HEMATOPOIESIS B
k/ What are the 2 examples of surfaces markers
1/ CD34+ = (CD = cluster of differentiation)
- A cell migration/adhesion regulator that may help stem cells bind to marrow matrix
2/ C-kit is a receptor tyrosine kinase which binds “stem cell factor”
- HEMATOPOIESIS B
L/ How can you find evidence for the presence of Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)?
You can find evidence of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow
- HEMATOPOIESIS B
m/ What are the 3 types of Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)?
1/ LT – HSC (long term)
- Pluripotent
2/ ST – HSC (short term)
- Multipotent
3/ MPP (Multipotent progenitor)
