  1. 11.2 Blood: A Fluid Tissue Pages 482-486

  2. Function of Blood • Delivers oxygen to cells, picks up carbon dioxide • Delivers nutrients to cells and collects wastes • Temperature regulation • Circulation of hormones

  3. Components • Red blood cells • White blood cells • Platelets • Plasma

  4. Plasma • 90% water • Dissolved O2, CO2, glucose, vitamins and minerals, wastes • Proteins:for clotting, immunity and water balance • Dissolve ions Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-, and HCO3-

  5. Albumins • Control water levels in the blood

  6. Globulins • Transport lipids, cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E and K), some minerals • Immunoglobulins (antibodies)

  7. Fibrinogen • Role in blood clotting

  8. Serum • Plasma with fibrinogen and clotting factors removed.

  9. Erythrocytes • Red blood cells • Biconcave disks • 135 RBC’s per mm • Formed from stem cells in bone marrow • No nucleus in mature cells • Lifespan 120 days • Liver and spleen break RBC’s down

  10. Leukocytes • White blood cells • nucleus • Granular leukocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils) kill bacteria • Agranular leukocytes (lymphocytes, monocytes) engulf bacteria • Pus

  11. Granules

  12. Platelets • Protection • Produced in the bone marrow • Blood clotting • Platelets and fibrinogen form clot

  13. Blood Count • Hemocytometer • Anemia (low RBC coun t)

  14. Plasma Plasma 55-58% • Water 91-92% • Plasma proteins 7-8% • Dissolved things 1-2%

  15. Cells • Platelets 250000-300000 per microlitre Leukocytes • Neutrophils 3000-6750 • Lymphocytes 1000-2700 • Monocytes/macrophages 150-720 • Eosinophils 100-360 • Basophils 25-90 • Erythrocytes 4 800 000-5 400 000

  16. Blood Types • Markers A and B • Type A…marker A • Type B…marker B • Type AB…marker A & B • Type O…no marker

  17. Immune response • Transfusions of blood with a different marker causes an immune response

  18. Rhesus Factor • 85% are Rh-positive

  19. Artificial Blood • HBOC hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers • PFCE perfluorocarbon emulsions
