The Red Blood Cell
Importance in Structure
Biconcave disks- Malleability is imperative!
A-nucleate
Cytoplasmic Enzymes:
* Metabolize Glucose
* Form small amts of ATP
* Pliability of Cell Membrane
* Transportation of ions
* Ferrous Form of Fe
* Prevents oxidation of proteins
Contains Hemoglobin Molecules
* Hemoglobin must remain in RBC to function properly
* Ability to concentrate 34gram of Hgb per 100mL of cell fluid
* Metabolic limit of the cell
* Size of the cell
Red Blood Cell Size
Biconcave Disk
Width: 7.2-8.4um
Height (inner): 0.45-1.16um
Height (outer): 2.31-2.85um
RBC Production
During Gestation: Yoke Sac -> Liver -> Spleen/Lymph -> Bone Marrow
Up until 5 years: Bone Marrow of ALL bones
Slowing become fatty and leave the Tibia & Femur to do the work
After 20 years: Membranous Bones ( Vertebra, Sternum, Ribs, Ilia)
Genesis of Blood Cells
Erythropoietin = differentiator
* PHSC –> PHSC
* PHSC –> LSC –> Lymphocyte (B or T)
* PHSC –> CFU-S –> CFU-GM –> Granulocytes (Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils) or Monocytes –> Macrocytes
* PHSC –> CFU-S –> CFU-M –> Megakaryocytes –> Platelets
* PHSC –> CFU-S –> CFU-B –> CFU-E –> Erythrocytes
PHSC = Pluripotent Hematopoietic Stem Cell
LSC = Lymphoid Stem Cell
CFU = Colony Forming Unit
CFU-S = CFU Spleen
CFU-GM = CFU Granulocutes, monocytes
CFU-M = CFU Megakaryocytes
CFU-B = CFU Blast
CFU-E= CFU Erythrocytes
Stages of RBC Differentiation
ALL
1st generation (Basophilic)
- Little Hgb
2nd/3rd generation (Polychromatophil/Orthochromatic)
- Hbg fill cell (34%)
- Nucleus condenses and is absorbed/extruded
- ER is reabsorbed
4th generation (Reticulocyte)
- Basophilic material, GA, Mitochondria
- Diapedesis into blood capillaries from bone marrow
- If there are large numbers, there is a problem - RBC not maturing enough to carry on RBC function

Role of Erythropoietin
Tissue oxygenation is the most esential regulator of RBC production!
Anything to decrease oxygenation will stimulate erythropoietin for RBC production b/c we need more oxygenation.
* Low blood volume, anemia, low hemoglobin, poor blood flow, pulmonary disease
Kidneys and liver release erythropoietin
Hypoxia= inducible factor-I
Non-renal sensors can stimulate hormone release not just renal tissue hypoxia
Dec. tissue oxygenation –> erythropoietin —> hematopoietic stem cells –> proerythroblasts –> RBCs –> tissue oxygenation
Hematinics
Vitamins
B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Folate
Ascorbic acid (Vit. C)
Vitamin E
B6 (pyridoxine)
Thiamine
Riboflavin
B5 (pantothenic acid)
Metals
Iron
Manganese
Cobalt
Essential Amino Acids
Formation of hemoglobin
I. 2 succinyl-CoA + 2 glycine –> pyrrole
II. 4 pyrrole –> protoporphyrin IX
III. protoporphyrin IX + Fe++ –> heme
IV. heme + polypeptide –> hemoglobin chain (alpha or beta)
V. 2 alpha chains + 2 beta chains –> hemoglobin A
Hemoglobin Structure
Heme (mitochondria) molecules combine with Globin (ribosomes)
Tetramer!
Hgb A – most common- 2 alpha; 2 beta chains
4 iron molecules/Hgb
4 oxygen molecules (O2)/Hgb
250 million Hgb molecules/Erythrocyte!!!
When it’s not a tetramer…
It’s a dimer (only 2 chains in hemoglobin – different shape!)
Result of Hemolysis
Filtered by the kidneys – not good!
Stroma can clog the glomerulus –not good!
Stroma can clog small capillary beds – lungs, heart, brain- not good!
Reduced Hgb time in Circulation – not good!
Shifts OxyHgb Curve to the Left- not good!
Decreased O2 binding – not good!
“Free” Hgb scavenges NO = Vasoconstriction – not good!
Stroma = dimers
Tetramere = 4 globulin chains
