    Study Notes

    Plasma Components

    • Albumin: Maintains osmotic pressure in blood plasma.
    • Alpha and Beta Globulin: Transport lipids throughout the body.
    • Gamma Globulin: Functions as a type of antibody, providing defense against infections.
    • Fibrinogen: Essential for blood clotting; converts to fibrin during the clotting process.
    • Plasma Gases: Involved in cellular respiration; include oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others.
    • Plasma Nutrients: Include vitamins, lipids, sugars, and amino acids, essential for cellular metabolism.
    • Nonprotein Nitrogenous Substances: Waste products from metabolism including amino acids.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) Values

    • Red Blood Count (RBC): Approximately 5 million cells per microliter (μL) of blood.
    • Hemoglobin: About 16 grams (g) per 100 mL of blood, crucial for oxygen transport.
    • Hematocrit: Roughly 46% of total blood volume, indicating the proportion of blood made up of red blood cells.
    • White Blood Count (WBC): Approximately 7000 cells per microliter of blood, essential for immune response.
    • Platelet Count: Ranges from 250,000 to 400,000 per microliter of blood; vital for clotting.

    Blood Clotting Pathway

    • Starts with Factor X and involves Factor II, V, Ca²⁺, and PF₃.
    • Prothrombin is activated to form thrombin.
    • Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin; this process is crucial for clot formation.

    Hemostatic Mechanisms

    • Three Mechanisms: Vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and coagulation.
    • Vascular Spasm: Constriction of a broken blood vessel to reduce bleeding.
    • Platelet Aggregation: Platelets form a large mass and undergo degranulation.
    • Coagulation: Finalizes the clotting process, preventing excessive blood loss.

    Blood Functions

    • Transportation: Carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste products (e.g., urea) throughout the body.
    • Protection: Formed elements destroy pathogens; globulins play a role in immune defense.
    • Regulation: Bicarbonate buffers acids and bases in the bloodstream.

    Blood Cell Classification

    • Myeloid Cell Line: Includes myeloblasts, monoblasts, proerythroblasts, neutrophils, and platelets.
    • Lymphoid Cell Line: Comprises B lymphocytes and natural killer cells.
    • Agranulocytes: Monocytes, T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells.
    • Granulocytes: Neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils.

    Clotting Factors and Anticoagulants

    • Anticoagulants: Prevent clot formation (e.g., antithrombin, heparin).
    • Essential for Clot Formation: Fibrinogen and thrombin.
    • Clot Breakdown: Involves plasmin, plasminogen, and streptokinase.

    Hemostasis Stages

    • Vascular Spasm: Initial reaction to vessel injury; immediate constriction reduces blood loss.
    • Platelet Plug Formation: Begins with disruption of prostacyclin and exposure of endothelial collagen.
    • Coagulation: Includes intrinsic and extrinsic pathways leading to clot formation.

    Plasma Composition

    • Composed of about 92% water, essential for solvent properties and transportation.

    Blood Volume and Pressure Relationships

    • Decreased Volume: As blood volume decreases, blood pressure also decreases.
    • Loss of greater than 10% blood volume triggers sympathetic activation, increasing heart rate and constricting blood vessels to maintain pressure.
    • Blood loss above 40% leads to severe pressure drops, risking life.

    Reticulocyte Characteristics

    • Development: Synthesizes hemoglobin and originates from normoblasts; circulates in blood.
