    Study Notes

    Blood Biochemistry: An Overview

    • Blood is a connective tissue comprising of cells and extracellular matrix.
    • Blood cells include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
    • Extracellular matrix is blood plasma.
    • Blood is essential for protection, transportation, and regulation.

    Blood Functions

    • Protection:
      • Hemostasis (preventing blood loss).
      • Immune defense (mediated by white blood cells).
    • Transportation:
      • Oxygen, hormones, nutrients.
    • Regulation:
      • Maintaining acid-base balance (pH).
      • Electrolyte balance.
      • Body temperature.

    Blood Characteristics

    • Human body contains 4-6 liters of blood depending on weight and age.
    • Venous blood is darker than arterial blood.
    • Blood pH remains constant between 7.35 and 7.45.
    • Blood viscosity is 3-5 times greater than water.

    Blood Components

    • Plasma:
      • Makes up 50-60% of blood volume.
      • Primarily composed of water (95%).
      • Contains proteins, nutrients, electrolytes, waste products, and hormones.
    • Cellular Components:
      • Makes up the remaining 40-50% of blood volume.
      • Includes red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

    Plasma Components in Detail

    • Proteins:
      • Carrier proteins: Transport fatty acids, cholesterol, bilirubin, copper, hormones etc.
      • Blood clotting proteins: Contribute to hemostasis.
      • Globulins: Participate in the immune system.
    • Nutrients:
      • Amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids from diet - essential for metabolism.
    • Electrolytes:
      • Maintain pH and osmotic pressure.
    • Waste products:
      • Urea, creatinine, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide.
    • Hormones:
      • Regulate cellular and organ functions.

    Cellular Components in Detail

    • Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells):
      • Most abundant blood cell type.
      • Responsible for oxygen transport and carbon dioxide removal.
      • Contain hemoglobin, a protein with iron-containing heme groups that bind oxygen.
      • Biconcave shape increases surface area for gas exchange and allows passage through small capillaries.
      • Lack organelles, maximizing space for hemoglobin and eliminating energy expenditure on cellular processes.
      • Production regulated by erythropoietin.
      • Lifespan: 120 days.
    • Leukocytes (White Blood Cells):
      • Constitute approximately 1% of blood cells.
      • Percentage increases during infection.
      • Function as immune cells, defending against pathogens.
    • Platelets (Thrombocytes):
      • Acellular fragments derived from bone marrow megakaryocytes.
      • Circular, anuclear, and small (2-3 microns in diameter).
      • Capable of changing shape, becoming spidery when activated.
      • Lifespan: 10 days.
      • Primary function is hemostasis (stopping bleeding).

    Hematopoiesis

    • Process of blood cell production.
    • Originates from hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow.
    • Regulated by various factors.

    Blood Transportation

    • Protein Carriers:
      • Transport various substances including minerals, hormones, fatty acids, and certain proteins.
      • Albumin is a key protein carrier for many molecules.
    • Oxygen Transport:
      • Performed by erythrocytes through hemoglobin.
      • Each erythrocyte contains approximately 250 million hemoglobin molecules.
      • One hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules.
      • Hemoglobin structure includes a heme group, a metalloporphyrin containing an iron atom essential for oxygen binding

    Heme Formation and Degradation

    • Heme Formation:
      • A four-step process:
        1. Formation of α-amino-levulinate (ALA) from succinyl CoA and glycine.
        2. Formation of porphobilinogen from two ALA molecules.
        3. Formation of protoporphyrin from four porphobilinogen molecules.
        4. Chelation of iron to protoporphyrin to form heme.
    • Heme Degradation:
      • Red blood cells are phagocytized by phagocytes in the reticuloendothelial system (RES) (spleen, liver, and bone marrow).
      • Heme is broken down into bilirubin, which is transported to the liver by albumin.
      • Bilirubin is converted into bilirubin glucuronide and excreted into bile, eventually becoming stercobilin in feces (giving feces its color).
      • Bilirubin can also be excreted as urobilin in urine (contributing to its yellowish color).
    • Porphyria:
      • A group of disorders characterized by porphyrin buildup due to defects in heme synthesis enzymes.

    Hemostasis (Stopping Bleeding)

    • Primary Hemostasis:
      • An initial, emergency response to bleeding.
      • Not permanent or stable.
      • Involves two steps:
        1. Vasoconstriction: Blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow to the injured area upon injury.
        2. Platelet Plug Formation: Activated platelets adhere to the injured area, forming a provisional plug.
    • Secondary Hemostasis:
      • Reinforces the platelet plug, creating a permanent seal.
      • Blood Coagulation (Clotting): A cascade of enzymatic reactions triggered by tissue factors.
      • Leads to the formation of fibrin, which creates a mesh over the platelet plug.
    • Coagulation Cascade:
      • A series of enzymatic reactions involving clotting factors (expressed as numbers).
      • Results in the activation of thrombin, which converts fibrinogen into fibrin.

    The Coagulation Cascade

    • The coagulation cascade is a complex process that leads to the formation of a blood clot.
    • It is divided into two main pathways: the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.
    • Intrinsic Pathway
      • Triggered by contact with a foreign surface.
      • First factor activated is factor XII.
      • Involves factors XII, XI, IX, and X.
    • Extrinsic Pathway
      • Triggered by contact with damaged tissue.
      • First factor activated is factor VII.
      • Involves factor VII and X.
    • Common Pathway
      • Both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways converge into the common pathway.
      • Factor X is activated into factor Xa.
      • Factor Xa activates prothrombin into thrombin.
      • Thrombin activates fibrinogen into fibrin.

    Hemostasis

    • Primary Hemostatic Plug
      • Platelets adhere to the site of injury, releasing factors that activate the coagulation cascade.
      • This creates a temporary plug.
    • Secondary Hemostatic Plug
      • Fibrin mesh forms around the platelet plug, strengthening it.
    • Fibrin
      • Formed from fibrinogen by thrombin.
      • Forms a mesh that traps platelets and blood cells, creating a stable clot.

    Blood Typing

    • The ABO system classifies blood types based on antigens present on red blood cells.
    • Antigens
      • Proteins that can trigger an immune response.
      • Type A: Expresses A antigens.
      • Type B: Expresses B antigens.
      • Type O: Expresses neither A nor B antigens.
      • Type AB: Expresses both A and B antigens.
    • Antibodies
      • Proteins that bind to antigens, triggering immune responses.
      • Individuals naturally form antibodies against antigens they lack (for example, a person with type A blood has B antibodies).
    • Transfusion
      • Donor blood must have compatible antigens with recipient blood to avoid immune rejection.
      • Type O individuals can donate to any blood type (universal donors).
      • Type AB individuals can receive blood from any blood type (universal recipients).
