Study Notes
Blood Types and Compatibility
- Blood type A has A antigens on red blood cells (RBCs) and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. Compatible recipients are A and AB.
- Blood type AB has both A and B antigens on RBCs and no antibodies in the plasma. It's a universal plasma donor. Compatible donors are A, B, AB, and O.
- Blood type B has B antigens on RBCs and anti-A antibodies in the plasma. Compatible recipients are B and AB.
- Blood type O has neither A nor B antigens on RBCs and both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. It's a universal RBC donor. Compatible recipients are O and AB.
White Blood Cell (WBC) Types and Ranking
- WBCs are classified as granulocytes (Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils) or agranulocytes (Lymphocytes, Monocytes).
- Ranking WBCs from least to most numerous: Basophils < Eosinophils < Monocytes < Lymphocytes < Neutrophils.
Formed Elements of Blood
- Formed elements are erythrocytes (RBCs), leukocytes (WBCs), and thrombocytes (platelets).
Blood Component Ranking After Centrifugation
- After centrifugation, blood components separate according to density.
- Plasma is at the top.
- Buffy coat (WBCs and platelets) is in the middle.
- Erythrocytes are at the bottom.
Blood Circulation and Heart
- Pulmonary circuit: The circuit from the right ventricle to the lungs.
- Pericardium: The double-walled sac surrounding the heart.
- Blood transfusion compatibility depends on blood type and antibodies present.
- WBCs primarily reside in lymphoid organs (e.g., spleen, lymph nodes).
- Hemostasis is the process of stopping bleeding involving vasoconstriction, platelet plug formation, and coagulation.
- Blood functions include oxygen and nutrient transport, waste removal, immune defense, temperature regulation, and pH homeostasis.
Blood Components and Functions
- Buffy coat: Contains white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets.
- Most abundant plasma protein: Albumin.
- Gases transported by RBCs: Oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- O2 binds to iron, CO2 binds to the globin portion in hemoglobin.
- Excess iron storage: Ferritin (in the liver).
- Cells monocytes differentiate into: Macrophages.
- Substance that differentiates serum from plasma: Fibrinogen (present in plasma, absent in serum).
- Hemoglobin is the molecule in RBCs that binds oxygen.
Additional Blood Information
- Agglutination: Occurs when mixing blood types with incompatible antibodies (e.g., Type O blood with anti-A and anti-B sera will not agglutinate). Agglutination occurs when mixing type A blood with anti-A sera.
- Cells with a large nucleus: Lymphocytes.
- Most abundant WBC in normal differential count: Neutrophils.
- The formed element with the highest percentage of blood volume: Erythrocytes (measured as hematocrit).
- Valves between atria and ventricles: atrioventricular (AV) valves (tricuspid and mitral).
- Heart muscle: Myocardium.
- Vessels carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart: Pulmonary arteries and vena cava.
- Space enclosing the heart: Pericardial cavity.
- Heart pacemaker: Sinoatrial (SA) node.
- Parts of the heart conduction system: SA node → AV node → Bundle of His → Purkinje fibers.
Additional Blood Information (continued)
- Vessels returning blood to the heart: 4 (2 pulmonary veins, 2 vena cavae).
- Vessels returning oxygenated blood to the heart: 2 pulmonary veins.
- Vessels returning non-oxygenated blood to the heart: 2 vena cava.
- Location of greatest blood volume: Veins.
- Capillaries: Sites of nutrient and gas exchange in the circulatory system.
- Collection site of venous blood from coronary circulation: Coronary sinus.
Blood Conditions and Diagnoses
- Suggestive diagnosis of an abnormally high number of monocytes: Chronic infections, leukemia, or inflammatory conditions.
- Anti-A and anti-B antibodies develop naturally, not as a result of prior exposure.
- Blood incompatibility occurs when plasma antibodies attack RBC antigens.
- Coagulation begins with vascular spasm and ends with platelet plug formation.
- Organs where most RBCs die: Spleen and liver.
- Nutrient deficiency causing pernicious anemia: Vitamin B12.
- Universal RBC donor: O negative.
- Antigens and antibodies in type B, Rh-positive blood: Antigens: B, Rh. Antibodies: Anti-A.
Additional WBC Information
- Least abundant formed element : Basophils.
- WBCs increasing in response to bacterial infections: Neutrophils.
- WBCs aiding in defense by secreting histamine and heparin: Basophils.
- Condition of having WBC count > 10,000 WBCs/µL: Leukocytosis.
- Largest leukocyte with a kidney-shaped nucleus: Monocytes.
- Term for abnormal clotting in unbroken vessels: Thrombosis. -Broken clot traveling in bloodstream: Embolism.
- Location of hematopoietic stem cells: Bone marrow.
