    Study Notes

    Components of Blood

    • Blood consists of a liquid fraction and three types of blood cells: erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes.
    • The liquid fraction can be referred to as either plasma or serum.

    Plasma and Serum

    • Serum is the straw-coloured liquid that remains after the blood has clotted.
    • Serum consists of mostly water, cells, proteins, glucose, clotting factors (proteins), electrolytes, hormones, and CO2.
    • Plasma is the straw-coloured liquid that remains when clotting is prevented.
    • Plasma is composed of serum, platelets, and clotting factors.

    Functions of Blood

    • Transportation: O2 and nutrients to cells, waste products and CO2 away from cells, and takes hormones to their target cells.
    • Regulation: helps to maintain a normal body temperature (thermoregulation) and maintains fluid and electrolyte balance.
    • Protection: clotting, preventing infection (immune function).

    Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells)

    • Also known as RBCs.
    • Carry oxygen in the blood.
    • Derived from the Greek words "erythro" meaning red and "cyte" meaning cell.

    Leukocytes (White Blood Cells)

    • Also known as WBCs.
    • Have immune function and fight infection and wound healing.
    • Derived from the Greek words "leuko" meaning white and "cyte" meaning cell.

    Thrombocytes (Platelets)

    • Responsible for clotting (thrombosis).
    • Derived from the Greek words "thrombosis" meaning clotting.
