Monocytes
Monocytes
Phagocytosis; antigen processing and presenting
Formed from Megakaryocytes, form platelet plug in hemostasis
Platelets
Are the most abundant cells of the blood (4.2-6.2 x 106/μL)
____in men; ____in women
• Are responsible for tissue oxygenation.
RBCs; 48; 42
RBCs have _______And ________
Have biconcavity and reversible deformity.
In RBCs, what is the purpose of biconcavity
provides a high surface to volume ratio for optimal gas diffusion.
Reversible deformity:
Enables the erythrocyte to assume a more compact torpedo-like shape,squeeze through the microcirculation, and return to normal.
Life cycle of RBCs
120-day life cycle.
No nucleus or mitochondria; cannot divide; constantly replenished erythropoiesis
RBCs
Blood Type determined by
surface glycoproteins.
oxygen-carrying protein
(
~300 million hemoglobin molecules/RBC)
Lymphoid hemopoiesis
Differential of proliferation of WBCs
Erythropoietin (EPO) – produced by______ – stim.s______________
kidneys; marrow to produce erythrocytes
• Thrombopoietin – produced byr – stim.s____________
live; marrow to produce platelets

differentiation & proliferation of leukocytes
neutrophils, T lymphocytes, Monocytes/Macrophages marrow & lymphoid tissue (production,
Reticulocyte count:
Index of erythropoietic activity
• Indicates whether new RBCs are being produced
• Normal range < 1.5%

2.5 million RBC every
second
Iron reused in the
Synthesis of new hemoglobin
Iron plus
