25
Platelet
- cell fragment | - forms platelet plugs
26
Hematopoiesis
-start with stem cells (hemocytoblast) that is in marrow
27
HTP- proerythoblast
-where red blood cells develop
28
HTP-myeloblasts
-where basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils develop
29
HTP-lymphoblast
-where lymphocytes develop
30
HTP-monoblast
-where momcytes develop
31
HTP-megakaryoblast
-where platelets develop
32
Red blood cells
- lose nuclei and nearly all cellular organelles during maturation - main component is hemoglobin (accounts for red color)
33
Primary function of RBC
- transport oxygen from lungs to the various body tissues - transport CO2 from tissues to the lungs - 98.5% of oxygen in blood is transported with hemoglobin
34
Primary function of RBC 2
-CO2 is transported in 3 ways: 7% is dissolved in plasma, 23% is combined with hemoglobin, 70% is in the form of bicarbonate ions
35
Hemoglobin
-consists of 4 polypeptide chains and 4 heme groups (contains one iron atom)
36
Forms of hemoglobin
- embryonic:produced during development - fetal: in place by third month of development - adult: 60-90% is in place at birth
37
Difference in hemoglobin
- different affinities for oxygen | - embryonic and fetal have higher affinity because of the switching of the globin groups
38
Oxyhemoglobin
- oxygenated form of hemoglobin | - bright red
39
Deoxyhemoglobin
- hemoglobin containing no oxygen | - dark red
40
Carbaminohemoglobin
-hemoglobin that carries CO2
41
Erythropoiesis
- the proces by which new red blood cells are produced | - takes about 4 days
42
EPO (erythropoietin)
- hormone produces mostly by the kidneys | - stimulates red bone marrow to produce more red blood cells
43
Hemostasis
-the stoppage of bleeding
44
Vascular spasm
-immediate but temporary constriction of a blood vessel (capillary)
45
Platelet plug
-an accumulation of platelets that can seal small breaks in blood vessels
46
Platelet plug formation
-platelet adhesion, release and activation, and aggregation
47
Platelet adhesion
- when platelets binds to collagen - mediated through von Willebrand factor - activates platelets
48
Platelet release reaction
- ADP, thromboxanes, and other chemicals are extruded from the platelets by exocytosis - ADP and thromboxane bind to their receptors and activate them - activated platelets release more chemicals, producing a cascade of chemical release
49
Platelet aggregation
-fibrinogen forms a bridge between fibrinogen receptors of different platelets, resulting in a platelet plug
50
Coagulation
-blood clotting formation for a blood vessel that is severely damaged
51
Clotting factors
- found within plasma | - normally inactive until needed
52
Extrinsic Pathway
- starts in the tissues outside of the blood | - ultimately activate factor X
53
Intrinsic Pathway
- starts within the blood | - ultimately activate factor X
54
Anticoagulants
-prevents unwanted clotting by inhibiting one of the factors
55
Clot retraction
- after formation of clot, it begins to condense into a denser, compact structure - platelets contain actin and myosin that contract the extensions of platelets
56
Clot dissolution
-after vessel is repaired by fibroblasts, the clot dissolves within a few days by the activity of plasmin
57
Blood counts | RBC
-number of red blood cells per microliter of blood
58
Blood counts | Hemoglobin
-the amount of hemoglobin in a given volume of blood
59
Blood counts | Hematocrit
-the percentage of the total blood volume that is composed of red blood cells
60
Blood counts | WBC
-measures the total number of white blood cells in the blood
61
Blood counts | differential WBC
-determines the percentage of each of the five kinds of white blood cells
