Q

definition of HEMATOPOIESIS

A
  • origination of blood cells comes from the BONE MARROW—the formation of blood cell components

PATHWAY:
- yolk sac (embryo) —> liver/spleen/thymus (child) —> axial skeleton (adult)

  • NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SYSTEMS regulate RBC and PLATELET PRODUCTION
  • all begins from the PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL
    • personally differentiates itself into any blood cell—creating either the MYELOID & LYMPHOID STEM CELL
    • develop into then PROGENERATOR CELLS then into PRECURSOR CELLS

Q

what are some HORMONE/GROWTH FACTORS?

A
  • ERYTHROPOTEITIN (EPO) = increases the # of RBC precursors
    • synthesized within the KIDNEY
  • THROMBOPOIETIN (TPO) = stimulates formation of platelets
    • synthesized within the LIVER
  • COLONY STIMULATING FACTORS (CSF) = regulation of WBC production
17
Q

function of RED BLOOD CELLS and function of HEMOGLOBIN?

A
  • FUNCTION:
    • dedicated to RESPIRATORY GAS TRANSPORT
  • HEMOGLOBIN:
    • binds reversibly with OXYGEN
    • no nucleus or organelles—completely primary function is to CARRY OXYGEN without using it
    • NORMAL VALUES:
      • 12-18 g/100 mL
    • each hemoglobin molecule contains an IRON ION—**this allows for each molecule to bind to FOUR OXYGEN MOLECULES
18
Q

describe RBC PLASMA MEMBRANE

A
  • PLASMA MEMBRANE:
    • contains plasma membrane SPECTRIN
      • provides FLEXIBILITY to MODIFY ITS SHAPE—while it passes through capillaries
      • important in terms of the viscosity of blood
19
Q

what is the STRUCTURE of HEMOGLOBIN?

A
  • HEME PIGMENT:
    • bonded to each globin chain
    • gives blood the RED COLOR
  • GLOBIN CHAIN:
    • composed of 4 polypeptide chains
      • two ALPHA and two BETA chains
  • METALLOPROTEIN
    • iron-containing oxygen transport within RBCs
    • can carry over 300 million oxygen molecules
20
Q

what are the ERYTHROPOIESIS STAGES?

A

ERYTHROPOIESIS:
- red blood cell production

  • ERYTHROPOIESIS STAGES:
    1. MYELOID STEM CELL first transforms into PROERYTHROBLAST
    2. (15 days) PROERYTHROBLASTS develop into (1) BASOPHIIC (2) POLYCHROMATIC (3) ORTHOCHROMATIC ERYTHROBLASTS (4) RETICULOCYTES
    3. RETICULOCYTES will then enter the bloodstream, (2 days) will turn into MATURE RBC
  • to create a MATURED RBC:
    • reticulocyte RIBOSOMES degraded—becomes MATURE ERYTHROCYTES
21
Q

what is the HORMONAL CONTROL of ERYTHROPOIESIS?

A
  • HORMONE ERYTHROPOIETIN (EPO):
    • direct STIMULUS for ERYTHROPOIESIS
  • if we have HIGH RBC or OXYGEN levels, this DEPRESSES PRODUCTION of EPO
  • released by the KIDNEYS (also liver) responding to HYPOXIA
22
Q

what causes HYPOXIA?

A
  • decrease of RBC due to HEMORRHAGE or INCREASED DESTRUCTION
  • INSUFFICIENT HEMOGLOBIN per RBC (iron deficiency)
  • reduced AVAILABILITY OF OXYGEN (high altitudes)
23
Q

what are the EFFECTS of EPO?

A
  • he rapid MATURATION of COMMITTED MARROW CELLS
  • INCREASED circulating RETICULOCYTE COUNT (1-2 days)

can have dangerous methods of EPO–such as ARTIFICIAL EPO or TESTOSTERONE

NATURAL BLOOD DOPING
- altitude doping
- excercise masks

24
Q

what are some DIETARY REQUIREMENTS for ERYTHROPOIESIS?

A
  • IRON
    (stored in FERRITIN and HEMOSIDERIN–transported in protein TRANSFERRIN)
  • VITAMIN b12 and FOLIC ACID
    (need for DNA synthesis–the development of RBCs)
25
Q

describe the RBC cycle

A
  • RBC CYCLE:
    • RBCs live for only about 120 DAYS
  • DEAD CELLS:
    • removed from the circulation by SPLEEN and LIVER
      • through MACROPHAGES
    • breakdown products from cells are RECYCLED and REUSED
26
Q

describe and define the types of ANEMIA

A

ANEMIA:
blood has abnormally LOW OXYGEN-CARRYING CAPACITY
- cannot support NORMAL METABOLISM
- see symptoms of FATIGUE, PALLOR, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, and CHILLS

- BLOOD LOSS (1)
- LOW RBC PRODUCTION (2)
- HIGH RBC DESTRUCTION (3)

27
Q

describe types of BLOOD LOSS ANEMIAS

A

HEMORRHAGIC ANEMIA:
- BLOOD LOSS RAPID (ex. stab wounds)
- if the loss reaches 1,000 ml or more; can see SERIOUS ACUTE CONSEQUENCES
- treated by BLOOD REPLACEMENT

  • CHRONIC HEMORRHAGIC ANEMIA:
    • SLIGHT but PERSISTENT BLOOD LOSS
      • seen in HEMORRHOIDS or BLEEDING ULCER
    • primary problem treated
28
Q

describe IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA (LOW RBC)

A
  • IRON-DEFICIENCY ANEMIA:
    • can be caused by HEMORRHAGIC ANEMIA, LOW IRON INTAKE, or IMPAIRED ABSORPTION
    • IRON:
      • important for the production of HEMOGLOBIN
    • results in MICROCYTIC, HYPOCHROMIC RBCs
    • often is seen in females at reproductive age + adolescent age
  • TREATMENT:
    • iron supplements
29
Q

describe PERNICIOUS ANEMIA (LOW RBC)

A
  • PERNICIOUS ANEMIA:
    • specific AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE:
      • destroys the STOMACH MUCOSA
        • due to lack of INTRINSIC FACTOR—needed to absorb B12
        • deficiency of vitamin B12
      • RBCS cannot DIVIDE to MACROCYTES (macrocytic)
  • TREATMENT:
    • B12 injections or nasal gel
    • cannot take B12 supplements ORALLY—due to LACK OF INTRINSIC FACTOR
30
Q

describe RENAL ANEMIA (LOW RBC)

A
  • RENAL ANEMIA:
