    Study Notes

    – Blood is composed of 45% Blood Blood Cells (4 types: RBCs, WBCs, Platelets, and Plasma) and 55% Plasma. – Hematocrit measures the packed volume of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in a blood sample. – Anticoagulants prevent clotting, Plasma is called serum when clotting components are removed. – RBCs, erythrocytes, are anucleate and biconcave with a size of 7.8 μm. They function only within the bloodstream, have a lifespan of 120 days, and are replaced by reticulocytes. – Platelets, derived from megakaryocytes, are involved in coagulation, forming an initial plug and a firm thrombus for haemostasis. – Leukocytes, white blood cells, are sub-classified into Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) and Agranulocytes (lymphocytes and monocytes). – Neutrophils are multilobed, motile cells that patrol for microbial infections and kill invading pathogens using phagocytosis, degranulation, and NETs. – Eosinophils and Basophils are the least numerous WBCs, and they contain bright orange and basophilic granules, respectively. They are associated with allergic reactions, parasitic infections, and chronic inflammation. – Lymphocytes and Monocytes are similar in size to RBCs. Lymphocytes function in adaptive immunity, and Monocytes are the precursors of tissue-specific phagocytes. – The immune system cells, such as Lymphocytes, circulate in the blood until they reach secondary lymphoid organs like Lymph nodes. – Lymph nodes maintain and differentiate B cells, and they house T cells. They detect and react to lymph-borne antigens, and they are concentrated in specific regions such as axillae, groins, and mesenteries. – The Lymph node architecture includes a cortex, a medulla, and a capsule, with various reticular and immune cells present. – The Thymus is a bilobed organ responsible for T-cell differentiation, and it contains thymocytes. The thymic cortex is composed of epithelioreticular cells, and Hassal’s corpuscles are located in the medulla.
