    Study Notes

    • Erythropoiesis, the process of erythrocyte (red blood cell) development from stem cells, takes approximately 7 days.

    • Immature cells are released into the bloodstream as reticulocytes and mature into erythrocytes, losing their nucleus in the process.

    • Haemoglobin in blood binds reversibly with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin, and blood's colour changes based on oxygen levels.

    • Low pH, oxygen levels (hypoxia), and temperature can cause oxyhaemoglobin to release oxygen for tissue use.

    • Erythropoiesis is regulated by erythropoietin, primarily produced by the kidney in response to hypoxia.

    • Erythrocytes have a lifespan of about 120 days and are destroyed by macrophages in the spleen, bone marrow, and liver.

    • Iron from haemolysis is returned to the bone marrow to form new haemoglobin, and biliverdin is converted to bilirubin and excreted in bile.

    • Leukocytes, or white blood cells, account for about 1% of blood volume and have nuclei with various granules.

    • Neutrophils are fast, active scavengers that protect against bacterial invasion and remove debris, with complex lobed nuclei and short lifespan.

    • Eosinophils eliminate parasites through toxic chemicals and have a lesser role in phagocytosis, with a longer lifespan than neutrophils.

    • Eosinophils accumulate in allergic inflammation sites, such as asthmatic airways and skin allergies.

    • Basophils, which are closely related to allergic reactions, contain cytoplasmic granules with heparin, histamine, and other inflammatory agents.

    • Basophils degranulate in response to allergens, leading to rapid onset of allergic symptoms.

    • Mast cells are similar to basophils but are fixed in tissues and degranulate faster than basophils.

    • Neutrophils, part of the agranulocytes, are the most abundant type of white blood cells and are involved in phagocytosis.

    • Monocytes and lymphocytes make up 25-50% of leukocytes; they have large nuclei and no cytoplasmic granules.

    • Monocytes are the largest type of white blood cells and can be found in the blood and tissues, producing interleukin-1 and stimulating the production of activated T-lymphocytes.

    • Mononuclear phagocyte system consists of monocytes and macrophages, providing effective defense in key body locations.

    • Macrophages are more powerful and long-lived than neutrophils, synthesizing and releasing cytokines, and are actively phagocytic.

    • Lymphocytes are smaller than monocytes and originate from pluripotent stem cells, developing into T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes.

    • Platelets are small, disc-shaped cell fragments with no nucleus, budded off from megakaryocytes in red bone marrow.

    • Platelets play a vital role in haemostasis, releasing chemicals for blood clotting and vessel contraction, and forming a temporary seal at the site of vascular damage.

    • The lifespan of platelets is between 8 and 11 days, and platelet production is regulated by thrombopoietin.

    • Haemostasis is a series of processes for stopping bleeding, including vasoconstriction, platelet plug formation, and coagulation (blood clotting).

    • Platelets play a vital role in haemostasis by releasing chemicals for blood clotting and vessel contraction.

    • Coagulation is a complex process involving the activation of clotting factors, eventually leading to the formation of prothrombin activator and the conversion of inactive fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin threads.

    • Haemostasis can be initiated by the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, leading to the activation of clotting factors and the formation of a blood clot.

    • Eosinophils accumulate in allergic inflammation sites, such as asthmatic airways and skin allergies.

    • Basophils, which are closely related to allergic reactions, contain cytoplasmic granules with heparin, histamine, and other inflammatory agents.

    • Basophils degranulate in response to allergens, leading to rapid onset of allergic symptoms.

    • Mast cells are similar to basophils but are fixed in tissues and degranulate faster than basophils.
