includes erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and plasma
Whole blood
small white layer of cells lying between the packed cell volume and plasma (leukocytes and platelets)
Buffy coat
liquid portion of unclotted blood (hazy or pale yellow)
• Anticoagulant used
• Pale yellow due to fibrin
Plasma
fluid that remains after coagulation (Clear and straw colored)
Serum
Anucleate, biconcave, discoid cells filled with a reddish protein (hemoglobin)
measure 6-8 um in diameter with a zone of pallor that occupies one third of their center
Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, and RBC Indices
RBC
Insufficient number of healthy red blood cells
• May be due to production in bone marrow up to movement of RBCs to peripheral (e.g.: blood
destruction)
Anemia
Too many red blood cells
• Starting from the bone marrow or circulatory will cause the thickness of blood (viscous)
Polycythemia Vera
Skin: First line of defense
WBCs: Second line of defense
: 3rd line of defense
Plasma cells, NK, Macrophage, cytokines
Low WBC count prone to infection
Leukopenia
Increased WBC count
Leukocytosis
Cancer of the blood
leukemia
Platelets
Maintain blood vessel integrity by initiating vessel wall repairs
● Hemostasis and thrombosis —>
● Adhesion, Secretion, Aggregation →
MI/Stroke
white thrombus

Capillary blood contains more____ than venous blood (up to 1000/uL)
leukocytes
Capillary blood has lower __ count and ____ value than venous blood (5%)
rbc and hemoglobin
Capillary blood has a___ platelet count
• RBC in capillary blood are more__ than those of venous rbc
lower
fragile
Hematopoiesis
continuous regulated process of blood production – _____ of RBC, WBC, and Platelets RPDM
• the formation and development of blood cells
renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and maturation
