RBCs rupture when they die– Pieces are removed by macrophages in
the liver and spleen
26
RBC particles are called
“ghosts” or “cellstroma”
27
RBC quantity
4-6 Million RBC / μL
28
Pathologic states effecting RBC #
– Erythrocytosis– Anemia
29
Erythrocytosis AKA
Polycythemia (Too many RBC)
30
Polycythemia Vera (PV) AKA:
erythema Hgb > 18g/dL RBC > 6.2X10^12/L Hct > 55%
31
Myeloproliferative disease
– Hct > 55%- This stem cell disorder, can lead to sludging in peripheral circulation leading to block in the microvasculature of the lungs and kidneys. - Treatment = therapeutic donations
32
Anemia
Hct < 39 MHct < 33 Fnot a blood disease but anindication of a disease process.
33
4 Causes of Anemia ?
- iron deficiency- vitamin deficiancy- hemolysis- autoimmune disease

How many molecules of Hgb are in each RBC?
300 MIllion
35
What is the only true cellular component of blood?Why ?
- WBC- they contain a nucleus
36
Hematopoiesis definition ?
production of mature blood cells from primitive cells in the bone marrow called Stem Cells.
37
The development of blood cells is under control of protein hormones called what ?
Hematopoietic growth factors
38
The development of stem cells in hematopoietic bone marrow is called what?
Intramedullary hematopoiesis
39
Through a process known a differentiation, stem cells develop into what?
Mature blood cells
40
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have two functions, what are they ?
1. ) Produce more stems cells | 2. ) Generate mature blood cells
41
Name the precursor to all blood cells?
Pluripotential Stem Cell
42
Pluripotential Stem Cells give rise to what two lines of cells?

49
Interlukins (ILs) function ?
Affect and enhance the functions of mature blood cells.
50
Interferons (INFs) function ?
Essential in the immune response to viral antigens and also for white cell function.
