https://www.newscientist.com/definition/blood/ Chapter 17 Blood  Circulation Exits the heart via arteries away from the heart Arteries branch into capillaries = = 1 cell thick where veins and arteries meet Oxygen and nutrients diffuse across capillary walls and into organs Carbon dioxide and waste from organs enter bloodstream Oxygen deficient blood leaves capillary bed and flows into veins Veins return to heart Veins drain into the heart  Outline Blood Composition and Functions Blood Plasma Formed Elements Homeostasis Loading… Transfusion and Blood Replacement Diagnostic Blood Tests Developmental Aspects of Blood  Outline Blood Composition and Functions Blood Plasma Formed Elements Homeostasis Transfusion mununumum and Blood Replacement Diagnostic Blood Tests Developmental Aspects of Blood  Blood Composition Blood – Fluid connective tissue – Plasma – non-living fluid matrix – Loading… Formed elements – living blood "cells" ⑮ suspended in plasma Erythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBCs) Leukocytes (white blood cells, or WBCs) Platelets (cell fragments) Connective has cells and fibers which is what makes ECM  Blood Composition Spun tube of blood yields three layers – Plasma on top (~55%) – Erythrocytes on bottom (~45%) – WBCs and platelets in Buffy coat (< 1%) Hematocrit – Percent of blood volume that is RBCs – - 47% ± 5% for males; 42% ± 5% for females 45 %  Figure 17.1 The major components of whole blood. Slide 4 E Plasma 55% of whole blood Least dense component Buffy coat Leukocytes and platelets 2 million RBCs made per second Balance between RBC production and destruction depends on – Hormonal controls – Adequate supplies of iron, amino acids, and B vitamins  Hormonal Control of Erythropoiesis Hormone Erythropoietin (EPO) – Direct stimulus for erythropoiesis – Always small amount in blood to maintain basal rate High RBC or O2 levels depress production – Released by kidneys (some from liver) in response to hypoxia Dialysis patients have low RBC counts ↑ RBC or 402/EPO ↓ RBC ↓ 02  Hormonal Control of Erythropoiesis Causes of hypoxia – Decreased RBC numbers due to hemorrhage or increased destruction – Insufficient hemoglobin per RBC (e.g., iron deficiency) – Reduced availability of O2 (e.g., high altitudes)  Hormonal Control of Erythropoiesis Effects of EPO – Rapid maturation of committed marrow cells – Increased circulating reticulocyte count in 1– 2 days Some athletes abuse artificial EPO – Dangerous consequences Testosterone enhances EPO production, resulting in higher RBC counts in males  Figure 17.6 Erythropoietin mechanism for regulating erythropoiesis. Slide 6 IMBALANCE Homeostasis: Normal blood oxygen levels 1Stimulus: Hypoxia 5O2-carrying (inadequate O2 ability of blood IMBALANCE delivery) due to rises. Decreased RBC count Decreased amount of hemoglobin Decreased availability of O2 4 Enhanced erythropoiesis increases RBC count. 2Kidney (and liver to a smaller extent) releases 3Erythropoietin erythropoietin. stimulates red bone marrow. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Dietary Requirements for Erythropoiesis Nutrients—amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrates Iron – Available from diet – 65% in Hb; rest in liver, spleen, and bone marrow – Free iron ions toxic Stored in cells as ferritin and hemosiderin mmmm Transported in blood bound to protein transferrin Vitamin B12 and folic acid necessary for DNA synthesis for rapidly dividing cells (developing RBCs)  Fate and Destruction of Erythrocytes Life span: 100–120 days https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/diabetes- resources/definitions/hba1c/ – No protein synthesis, growth, division Old RBCs become fragile; Hb begins to degenerate Get trapped in smaller circulatory channels especially in spleen Macrophages engulf dying RBCs in spleen  Fate and Destruction of Erythrocytes Heme and globin are separated – Iron salvaged for reuse – Heme degraded to yellow pigment bilirubin – Liver secretes bilirubin (in bile) into intestines Degraded to pigment urobilinogen Pigment leaves body in feces as stercobilin – Globin metabolized into amino acids Released into circulation  Erythrocyte Disorders Anemia – Blood has abnormally low O2-carrying capacity – Sign rather than disease itself – Blood O2 levels cannot support normal metabolism – Accompanied by fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath, and chills  Causes of Anemia Three groups – Blood loss – Low RBC production – High RBC destruction  Causes of Anemia: Blood Loss Hemorrhagic anemia – Blood loss rapid (e.g., stab wound) – Treated by blood replacement Chronic hemorrhagic anemia – Slight but persistent blood loss Hemorrhoids, bleeding ulcer – Primary problem treated  Causes of Anemia: Low RBC Production Iron-deficiency anemia – Caused by hemorrhagic anemia, low iron intake, or impaired absorption – Microcytic, hypochromic RBCs – Iron supplements to treat  Causes of Anemia: Low RBC Production Pernicious anemia – Autoimmune disease - destroys stomach mucosa – Lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12 Deficiency of vitamin B12 – RBCs cannot divide macrocytes – Treated with B12 injections or nasal gel – Also caused by low dietary B12 (vegetarians) Intrinsic > B1z - absorbed factor - B12  Causes of Anemia: Low RBC Production Renal anemia – Lack of EPO – Often accompanies renal disease – Treated with synthetic EPO  Causes of Anemia: Low RBC Production Aplastic anemia – Destruction or inhibition of red marrow by drugs, chemicals, radiation, viruses – Usually cause unknown – All cell lines affected Anemia; clotting and immunity defects – Treated short-term with transfusions; long- term with transplanted stem cells  Causes of Anemia: High RBC Destruction Hemolytic anemias – Premature RBC lysis – Caused by Hb abnormalities Incompatible transfusions https://socratic.org/questions/what-are-the-functions-of-human-red-blood- cells Infections  Causes of Anemia: High RBC Destruction Usually genetic basis for abnormal Hb Globin abnormal – Fragile RBCs lyse prematurely  Causes of Anemia: High RBC Destruction Thalassemias – Typically Mediterranean ancestry – One globin chain absent or faulty – RBCs thin, delicate, deficient in Hb – Many subtypes Severity from mild to severe https://www.news-medical.net/health/Thalassemia-Pathophysiology.aspx  Causes of Anemia: High RBC Destruction * Sickle-cell anemia – Hemoglobin S One amino acid wrong in a globin beta chain – RBCs crescent shaped when unload O2 or blood O2 low – RBCs rupture easily and block small vessels Poor O2 delivery; pain https://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/sickle-cell-anemia.aspx  Sickle-cell Anemia Black people of African malarial belt and descendants Malaria – Kills 1 million each year Sickle-cell gene – Two copies = Sickle-cell anemia – One copy Sickle-cell trait; milder disease; better chance to survive malaria  Figure 17.8 Sickle-cell anemia.
