Title: BLOOD COMPONENTS


1
BLOOD COMPONENTS!
Chantelle, Paola, Jordan
2
RED BLOOD CELLS
  • Diameter of 7-8 µm
  • Carry oxygen to blood tissues
  • Originate from stem cells in
  • bone marrow
  • Iron in Haemoglobin makes red
  • blood cells an excellent vehicle for
  • transporting oxygen around the body
  • ? Haemoglobin makes red blood cells red

ERYTHROCYTES
3
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
  • Defend the body against infectious diseases and
    foreign materials
  • Come from stem cells in bone marrow
  • Round and colourless
  • Number of leukocytes in the blood indicates a
    presence of disease
  • (1 of leukocytes in the blood is a healthy
    amount)
  • Destroy bacteria by
  • Surrounding and digesting them
  • Producing antibodies, which destroy bacteria,
    viruses, and other
  • foreign invaders.

LEUKOCYTES
4
GRANULAR LEUKOCYTES
  • Basophil Responsible for allergic and antigen
    response by releasing the chemical histamine
  • Eosinophil
  • Responsible for the defense against parasitic
    infections, asthma, hay fever, and hives
  • Neutrophil
  • Responsible for the
  • defense against
  • Bacterial and fungal infection

5
AGRANULAR LEUKOCYTES
  • Lymphocyte
  • B Cells Make antibodies that bind to pathogens
    and destroying them
  • (b) T Cells Important in the defence against
    intracellular bacteria
  • (c) Natural Killer Cells Kill body cells that
    have been infected with a virus or have become
    cancerous
  • Monocyte
  • Engulf bacteria through phagocytosis
  • Present pieces of pathogens to T cells so that
    the pathogens can be recognized and killed
  • Once pathogens are killed, antibody reponse may
    be mounted

6
  • 1/3 the size of red blood cells
  • Plugs leaks in blood vessels and help begin the
    process leading to the formation of a blood
    clot

THROMBOCYTES
PLATELETS
  • Derive from stem cells in the bone marrow
  • When an injury occurs, platelets become
  • activated. They change their shape and become
    sticky.
  • Platelets stick to the edges of the cut and to
    one another,
  • forming a plug, leading to the formation of a
    blood clot.

STRUCTURE DIFFERENCES
Red Blood Cells ? Diameter of 7-8 µm ?
Biconcave disks without nuclei
  • White Blood Cells
  • Range in diameters of 5-24 µm
  • Colourless, spherical cells with nuclei

Platelets 2-4 µm disk-shaped no nuclei
9
Sickle Cell Anemia
What Is It?
10
  • hereditary disease which affects hemoglobin in
    red blood cells

REGULAR Red Blood Cells
ABNORMAL Red Blood Cells
  • stiff, curved shape resembling an old farm tool
    known as a sickle (crescent moon shaped)
  • clogs blood vessels
  • last 10-20 days in bloodstream which can lead to
    anemia
  • flexible, disc shaped
  • move easily throughout blood vessels
  • lasts four months in bloodstream

11
  • ? jaundice high rate of red blood cell
    breakdown
  • severe pain in chest, stomach, arms, legs
  • troubles fighting infections
  • fatigue/ paleness/ shortness of breath
  • slower growth
  • delay in puberty
  • pain crises (periods of pain)
  • complications can arise from impaired blood
    circulation and infection-fighting problems
    higher risk of - certain infections
  • stroke
  • acute chest syndrome ( severe chest/abdominal
    pain, fever, cough, trouble breathing, etc.)

SIGNS
SYMPTOMS
AND
12
  • no cure for sickle cell anemia there are
    treatments to prevent complications
  • folic acid helps body produce new red blood
    cells
  • pain medication/rest/extra fluids relieves
    symptoms of pain crises
  • if extremely severe, may need to go to the
    hospital for IV fluids/ stronger pain medication
  • blood transfusions increases healthy red blood
    cells
  • drug hydroxyurea reduce pain crises and
    episodes of acute chest syndrome RARE CASES
  • - bone marrow transplant produce healthy
    hemoglobin/ normal red blood cells
  • penicillin/ antibiotics prevents infections
  • oxygen eases pain crises and acute chest
    syndrome

TREATMENT?
13
Composition and Roles of Components
? contains - glucose, amino acids, hormones,
minerals, salts - antibodies, antitoxins -
phospholipids, lipoproteins, fibrinogen - urea,
hydrogen carbonate ions
P L A S M A
? transports dissolved substances - products
of digestion, vitamins, hormones - carbon
dioxide, heat - urea ? defends against
diseases - contains antibodies/ antitoxins -
clots the blood
14
What is Plasma Made of?
COMPONENT
FUNCTION
SOURCE
  • maintains blood volume
  • transports molecules
  • acts as a solvent/ lubricant/ cohesive

WATER(90-92)
? absorbed from large intestine (colon)
  • PLASMA PROTEINS(7-8)
  • albumin
  • fibrinogen
  • immunoglobulin
  • globulin
  • maintains blood osmotic pressure and pH
  • maintains blood volume and pressure
  • clots and transports
  • fights infections

? liver
15
COMPONENT
FUNCTION
SOURCE
SALTS(less than 1 of plasma)
? absorbed from intestinal villi
  • maintains blood osmotic pressure and pH
  • aids in metabolism

GASES(ex oxygen and carbon dioxide)
  • for cellular respiration (end product of
    metabolism)

? lungs and tissue
16
COMPONENT
FUNCTION
SOURCE
  • food for cells
  • glucose stored in liver/muscles as glycogen
  • amino acids used by tissues for growth/repair
  • liver removes excess amino acids from plasma
  • excess amino acids nitrogen ? urea
  • NUTRIENTS
  • fatty acids and glycerol
  • glucose
  • amino acids
  • nucleotides
  • minerals
  • vitamins

? carried from small intestine (intestinal villi)
to other organs
17
COMPONENT
FUNCTION
SOURCE
? nitrogenous wastes removed by kidneys aka.
EXCRETION
? liver
UREA(excess amino acids)
  • aids in metabolism
  • vitamins keep tissue healthy
  • minerals used for different reasons
  • hormones targets organs for different purposes

? Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland
(adrenaline dilates passages)
HORMONES, VITAMINS, MINERALS, ETC.
18
  • The number of red blood cells and the size of
    red blood cells in a given sample of blood after
    centrifugation
  • Gives a percentage of red blood cells found in
    whole blood. This may be part of a complete blood
    count
  • Low hematocrit may be due to Anemia, Blood
    loss, Bone marrow failure, destruction of red
    blood cells, Leukemia.
  • High hematocrit may be due to
    Dehydration(burns, diarrhea), Erythrocytosis,
    Polycythemia vera
  • Normal amounts of hematocrit for
  • Male 40.750.3 Female 36.144.3

HEMATOCRIT
19
HEMATOCRIT
Obtaining Hematocrit
  • ? Blood is drawn from a vein, usually inside of
    elbow/back of hand
  • ? Elastic is wrapped around the upper arm to
    slow blood flow out of the arm to increase blood
    in veins below the elastic.
  • ? A needle is inserted into the swelled vein and
    the blood is collected
  • Band removed to restore blood flow
  • Needle is removed and the puncture site is
    bandaged.

GEEZ! QUIZ TIME!
1. List two ways in which white blood cells
destroy bacteria?
? Surrounding/digesting bacteria produce
antibodies
2. What makes red blood cells red?
? Haemoglobin!
3. How are blood clots formed?
? Platelets plug leaks in blood vessels and help
begin the process leading to the formation of a
blood clot
4. Compare the shape of regular and abnormal red
blood cells.
? Regular RBC flexible, disc shapedAbnormal
RBC stiff, curved, sickle shaped
21
5. Why do people diagnosed with sickle cell
anemia suffer severe chest, stomach, arm, leg,
etc. pain?
? Because blood vessels are clogged, no oxygen
gets to the bodys tissues and organs. The cells
block the blood flow to the blood vessels.
6. What are the two functions of plasma in the
blood?
? To transport dissolved substances and defend
against diseases.
7. What is hematocrit and how is it taken?
?The percentage by volume of packed red blood
cells in a given sample of blood after
centrifugation.
8. Why is it useful?
? It helps show signs of anemia, leukemia, diet
defiency, etc.
