Blood Flashcards
Supportive CT
cartilage, bone
Connective tissue classification
Dense, loose, adipose, reticular, elastic, mucous
Fluid CT
Blood
Lymph
Blood volume and % of body weight
Female 4/5 L
Male 5/6 L
7-8% of total body weight
Blood ph? Too high/low results in?
Ph 7.4
Too high - alkaline tetanus
Too low - acidic coma
Blood transport functions (5)
O2 co2 Catabolites Hormones Immune response Nutrients
Blood other functions (5)
Reg body temp Migration of leukocytes Acid base reg Haemostasis - coagulation Oncotic pressure - form tissue fluid
Hematocrit =
And mormal range in men/woman
Leukocytes, erythrocytes, platelets
Male 42-52
Female 37-47
Increase in heamtocrit?
Increase in blood viscosity,
Eg athletes - hematopoietin - increase hematocrit - increase blood viscosity
How to study blood?
Withdraw blood
Centrifuge for 10min
Components of blood seperates : buffy coat 1%, erthrocytes 44%, plasma 55%
Indication of hyperlipidemia
Blood centrifuge. White lipid serum when centrifuge.
3 types of deformities in rbc
Howell jolly body - remnant of nucleus
Cabot ring - mt remnant of mitotic spindle
Heinze body - denatured hemoglobin
Which stain for hemoglobinpathy ?
Crystal violet
Eg pink with Heinz body
Blood centrifuge importance of anticoagulant and 2 of these?
Heparin, sodium citrate.
Prevent blood clot from forming - fibronogen -> fibrin network
Buffycoat contains?
Leukocytes and platelets
Blood composition : plasma?
Water 92
Plasma 6-8
Others 1
Plasma proteins
Where synthesised?
Albumin - oncotic protein
Globin a and b - transport protein
Globin y - antibodies
Fibrinogen and coagulation proteins - injured bv - blood clot - prevent blood exit
All in liver apart form globin y - plasma cells
What are formed elements?
Not cells.
Rbc and platelets.
Contain no nucleus therefore not cells
Formed elements are fixed by which method?
Romanowski method
Mix of acid, basic and neutral stainin
Size of rbc?
8um
Used at microscopic ruler. All similar size.
Rbc (6)
5million/mm^2 male & 4.5million female No nucleus, organelles - cont Hemoglobin Flexible, resilient ABO blood group (carbs surface) Biconcave shape - increase sa 20-30% Function : o2/c02 transport
Renewal of erthrocytes?
Life span?
Removed by?
RBC differentiate - mito, ribosomes, golgi, nucleus, RER lost.
Therefore no protein synthesis organelles - rapid age
120 days
Destroyed by phagocytosis
Reticulocytes (2)
When are they present?
Larger than mature rbc
Present - blood produced quickly - pathologies
Abnormal rbc (2)
Poikilocytosis - abnormal shape
Anisocytosis - abnormal volume
Examples of poikilocytosis (3)
Tearget cells (codocytes) Schistocytosis Sickle cells (drepanocytes)
Hemolytic disease of newborn
Fetus rh + Mother rh - Placenta - rbc leak Mother produce anti rh antibodies Attack fetus rbc in child
Aging rbc
Decrease in sialic acid - phagocytosed by resident macrophages in spleen
What does sialic acid do? Provide -ve chain, prevent adhesion to other rbc and bv.
What are glycophorins?
TMP
Long chain of glycoproteins.
Prevent adhesion to other cells and bv walls
Structure of rbc membrane?
Exmaple of a dimer membrane protein
Extracellular carbs form abo blood group system
50 proteins
40 lipids
10 carbs
Spectrin - a and b dimer
4 rbc blood groups, antibodies and antigens present.
Which uni donor and acceptor?
A ANTI B A ANTIGEN B ANTI A B ANTIGEN AB NONE A AND B ANTIGEN O ANTI A B NONE Uni acceptor - AB Uni donor - O
Failures of rbc membrane?
Mod of PM protein - band 3 protein
Mod of cyto protein - ankryin, spectrin, protein 4.1, 4.2
Leas to spherocytosis, elipsocytosis, ovalcytosis
Spherocytosis (non inherited)?
Rbc no protein synthesis - lose function and flexibility - lose shape - spheroid shape.
Unable to pass thru spleen.
Hemocatalysis - macrophages - phagocytosis
