Study Notes
Blood Groups and Transfusion Reactions
- Blood groups beyond ABO and Rh typically do not cause transfusion reactions.
- Over 100 known blood groups exist, but transfusion reactions are rare.
Leukocytes and Immune Response
- Leukocytes spend limited time in bloodstream; quickly migrate through capillary walls.
- Neutrophils increase in response to bacterial infections.
- Monocytes differentiate into large phagocytic cells for immune defense.
Platelets and Hemostasis
- Platelets do not adhere to healthy blood vessels due to a smooth endothelium coated with prostacyclin.
- Functions of platelets include secreting procoagulants to promote blood clotting.
- Cessation of bleeding is termed hemostasis.
Clotting Mechanisms
- Factor XII leads to the formation of kallikrein, converting plasminogen to plasmin, which breaks down clots.
- Fibrin polymer forms the structural framework of a blood clot.
- Thromboplastin initiates the extrinsic pathway of coagulation.
Components and Functions of Blood
- Components include heart, blood vessels, and blood.
- Blood transports oxygen bound to heme groups in hemoglobin and some carbon dioxide.
- Serum is plasma without fibrinogen.
Erythrocyte Characteristics
- Hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit are not interchangeable; hematocrit refers specifically to RBC percentage.
- RBCs primarily die in the spleen and liver.
- A normal hematocrit ranges from 37% to 52%.
Hematopoiesis and Blood Formation
- Blood formation in bone marrow and lymphatic organs is termed hemopoiesis.
- Hemopoietic stem cells reside in red bone marrow.
- Blood viscosity is mainly attributed to erythrocyte presence.
Blood Disorders and Conditions
- Sickle-cell disease is incorrectly identified as a malaria cause; it is a genetic condition affecting hemoglobin.
- Anemia can arise from various causes, including renal disease and vitamin B12 deficiency.
- Patients with anemia often experience decreased blood viscosity.
Pregnancy and Blood Compatibility
- Rh incompatibility between sensitized Rh+ mothers and Rh- fetuses can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn.
- Pregnant Rh- women receive Rh immune globulin to prevent anti-D antibody production.
Other Blood Elements
- Basophils secrete histamine and heparin, aiding defense processes.
- Lymphocytes play roles in antibody secretion and immune memory.
Blood Composition and Health Regulation
- Erythrocytes and plasma protein levels affect blood viscosity and osmolarity.
- Correction of hypoxemia is maintained through a negative feedback loop.
- Most clotting factors are synthesized in the liver.
General Blood Facts
- Lymphocytes are the most abundant agranulocytes.
- Basophils are the least abundant formed elements.
- Blood does not produce plasma hormones; that function is not attributed to blood.
