BIOCHEMISTRY OF BLOOD TISSUE Asst. Prof. Dr. Victor Markus [email protected] Department of Medical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Near East University Nicosia, TRNC 1 Outline 1. Basic functions of blood 2. Composition of blood plasma 3. Plasma proteins a) Classification b) Functions of plasma proteins 4. Hemoglobin a) Structure of hemoglobin b) Oxygen binding and its regulation 2 BASIC FUNCTIONS OF BLOOD O2 and CO2 transport between lungs and other Respiration tissues Alimentation Transport of absorbed nutrients to tissues Removal of metabolic products to kidney, lung, Removal of waste skin and intestines for excretion Buffering Regulation of acid-base balance Maintenance of osmolality with the oncotic Osmotic balance pressure of plasma proteins Regulation of core temperature by blood-heating Body temperature and -cooling Defence against to infections by the leukocytes Immunologic and antibodies Protection against traumatic bleeding by using the Coagulation coagulation factors Transport Hormones, and other metabolites COMPOSITION OF WHOLE BLOOD blood's liquid medium Plasma: 55% of whole blood; blood's liquid medium Buffy Coat: Leukocytes and platelets (
