Characteristics of Blood
What is the normal range for blood pH?
7.35 to 7.45
Characteristics of Blood
If pH<7.35
acidosis
Characteristics of blood

alkalosis
Characteristics of Blood
How many ml of oxygen is carried per gram of hemoglobin?
1.34ml
pertains to general blood production
hematopoiesis
refers to RBC production
erythropoiesis
the production of WBC
leukopoiesis
Platelet production is called?
megakaryopoiesis
Enumerate the three periods of hematopoiesis
- Mesoblastic
- Hepatic
- Myeloid
what does the mesoblastic period produce?
primitive / embryonic RBC
When does the mesoblastic period begin?
19th-20th day of gestation
when does the mesoblastic period end?
before 3rd month of gestation
What is the source of blood during the mesoblastic period?
yolk sac
What is the type of Hgb during the mesoblastic period
Gower 1 and 2
Portland
What are produced during the hepatic period?
RBC, WBC, and platelets
When does the hepatic period start?
5th to 6th week of gestation
When does the hepatic period end?
1st to 2nd week after delivery
what is the source of blood during the hepatic period?
liver, spleen, lymphnodes, thymus
what is the type of Hgb during the hepatic period?
Hgb F (fetal hemoglobin)
when does the myeloid period start?
4th to 5th month of gestation
when does the myeloid period end?
it doesn’t end until death
what is the source of blood during the myeloid period?
Red bone marrow
What’s the type of Hgb during the myeloid period?
Hgb A1 and A2
T or F
There no overlaps between the periods of hematopoiesis to ensure that they do not interfere with each others’ functions
F (there are overlaps to ensure that hematopoiesis does not stop

(please read the transes na lang, Sir Adarve gave many examples for Beta thalassemia)
What are the three hematopoietic stem cells theory?
- Monophyletic
- Dualistic
- Polyphyletic
HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL THEORY
if cells come from only one mother stem-cell only
Monophyletic Theory
