All Rights Reserved 16.1 Plasma and the Cellular Elements of Blood • Plasma is extracellular matrix • Fluid matrix of blood – Water (~ 92%) – Proteins (~ 7%) – Remaining 1% ▪ Ions (Na+ , K + , Cl- , H+ , Ca2+ , & HCO3 - ) ▪ Organic molecules ▪ Gases (O2 & CO2 ) ▪ Trace elements ▪ Vitamins Some globulins, like immunoglobulins synthesized and secreted by specialized blood cells rather than by liver • Identical in composition to interstitial fluid but has plasma proteins clotting protein iron-transporting protein – Albumins, globulins, fibrinogen, transferrin 60% Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Cellular Elements Include RBCs, WBCs, and Platelets • Red blood cells (RBCs) – also called erythrocytes have lost nuclei thrombocytes • nucleus, cell fragments that have split off a relatively Platelets – split off from megakaryocytes lack large parent cell megakaryocyte • White blood cells (WBCs) – also called leukocytes only fully functional cells in circulation 1) Lymphocytes – also called immunocytes specific immune responses ingest foreign particles such as bct 2) Monocytes – develop into macrophages; phagocytes bc (phagocytosis) 3) Neutrophils – phagocytes and granulocytes 4) Eosinophils – granulocytes bc contain cytoplasmic inclusions = granular appearance 5) Basophils – granulocytes; tissue basophils are called mast cells Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Figure 16.3 The Complete Blood Count (1 of 3) A complete blood count, commonly known as a CBC, provides the information in the table below. The numbers shown are the normal ranges of values. In addition, a CBC usually also includes the following information: • Mean corpuscular volume (MCV): the average volume of one red blood cell. A corpuscle is a small unattached cell (diminutive of corpus, body) • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH): amount of hemoglobin per RBC • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCH C): the amount of hemoglobin per volume of one red blood cell Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Figure 16.3 The Complete Blood Count (2 of 3) Blood Count Normal Ranges of Values Test Hematocrit Hematocrit is the percentage of total blood volume that is occupied by packed (centrifuged) red blood cells. Hemoglobin (g Hb/dL* whole blood) The hemoglobin value reflects the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. (dL = deciliter = 100 mL) Red Cell Count (cells/mL) A machine counts erythrocytes as they stream through a beam of light. Total White Count (cells/mL) A total white cell count includes all types of leukocytes but does not distinguish between them. Males Females 40–54% 37–47% 14–17 12–16 4.5 − 6.5×106 3.9 − 5.6×106 4 − 11×103 4 − 11×103 Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 16.3 Red Blood Cells • Hematocrit: ratio of red blood cells to plasma, expressed as a percentage RBC/total blood volume • Mature RBCs lack a nucleus – Morphology can provide clues to the presence of disease – Mean corpuscular volume (MCV): size of red blood cells Cells losing their flattened disk shape and become spherical (spherocytosis), shape similar to that of the cell in hypotonic medium: disease Sickle cell anemia, cells are shaped like a sickle or crescent moon Some diseases: size of RBC = MCV —> abnormally large or small (microcytic iron deficiency anemia) If pale due to lack of red Hb: hypochromic Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Hemoglobin Synthesis Requires Iron • Hemoglobin plays a role in oxygen transport • Four globin molecules • – Four heme groups – Several isoforms Heme is a porphyrin ring with an iron (Fe) atom at its center – Iron comes from diet – Transported in blood by transferrin – Iron taken up in bone marrow – Excess iron stored in liver by ferritin Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved RBCs Live about Four Months • • • Live for about 120 days – Older RBCs rupture or phagocytized in spleen – Amino acids from globin are incorporated into new proteins – Some iron from heme groups are reused in new heme groups Remnants of heme groups are converted to bilirubin, excreted as bile – Bilirubin metabolites are excreted in urine – Jaundice results from elevated levels of bilirubin RBC disorders decrease oxygen transport – Anemia: hemoglobin content is too low ▪ rate of RBC destruction > production genetic defect in which glutamate is replaced by valine —> abnormal Hb that crystallizes when it gives up its oxygen —> sickle form that gets tangled with others —> block blood flow to tissues — > tissue damage and pain from hypoxia Hemolytic anemia (example hereditary spherocytosis), sickle cell disease, not enough iron to make heme erythrocyte cytoskeleton does not link properly bc of iron-deficiency anemia groups —> Hb synthesis defective or deficient cytoskeletal proteins, so cells slower stem cell dysfunction that produces too ▪ blood cells —> blood more Polycythemia vera many viscous and more resistant to flow through circulatory system are more like spheres than biconcave disks —> RBC ruptures easily and are unable to withstand osmotic changes like normal cells Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved 16.5 Hemostasis and Coagulation • Hemostasis prevents blood loss from damaged vessels – Vasoconstriction – Platelet plug begins with platelet adhesion – Exposed collagen and tissue factor lead to a clot ▪ Coagulation cascade – Thrombus blood clot that adheres to the undamaged wall of blood vessel when too much clotting • Platelet activation begins the clotting process – Platelets stick to collagen in damaged vessels platelet membrane phospholipids into – Release of platelet-activating factor (PAF) → thromboxane A2 vasocontrictors intact vascular endothelial cells convert their membrane lipid into it (eicosanoid) that blocks platelets – Prostacyclin adhesion and aggregation Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
