This document provides an overview of hematology, including the composition and functions of blood. It discusses the main components of blood - plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. White blood cells help fight infection. Platelets help the blood clotting process. The document also covers serum and plasma, anticoagulants, where blood cells originate from, and the normal collection of blood.
01 introduction of blood.3rd semester.
- 2. Introduction to Hematology • Physiology Of Blood. • Composition Of Blood • Function Of Blood. • Serum And Plasma • Anticoagulants • Collection Of Blood • Effect Of Storage On Blood • Normal Values Of Blood • Morphology Of Blood
- 3. Physiology Of Blood • Blood Basics • Blood is a specialized body fluid. It has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- 4. Functions • Blood has many different functions, • Transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues. • Forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss • Carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection • Bringing waste products to the kidneys and liver, which filter and clean the blood, • Regulating body temperature
- 5. Blood consists of • Liquid plasma (volume-55-60%) • Formed elements (cells) (volume-40-45%)
- 7. whole blood • The blood that runs through the veins, arteries, and capillaries is known as whole blood, a mixture of about 55 percent plasma and 45 percent blood cells. About 7 to 8 percent of your total body weight is blood. An average-sized man has about 12 pints of blood in his body, and an average-sized woman has about 9 pints.
- 8. Where Do Blood Cells Come From? • Blood cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells and are formed in the bone marrow through the highly regulated process of hematopoiesis. • Hematopoietic stem cells are capable of transforming into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These stem cells can be found circulating in the blood and bone marrow in people of all ages, as well as in the umbilical cords of newborn babies
- 9. The Components of Blood • Plasma • The liquid component of blood is called plasma, a mixture of water, sugar, fat, protein, and salts. • The main job of the plasma is to transport blood cells throughout your body along with nutrients, waste products, antibodies, clotting proteins, chemical messengers such as hormones, and proteins that help maintain the body's fluid balance.
- 10. Red Blood Cells (RBCs) • The most abundant cell in the blood, accounting for about 40-45 percent of its volume. The shape of a red blood cell is a biconcave disk with a flattened center - in other words, both faces of the disc have shallow bowl-like indentations (a red blood cell looks like a donut. • Red blood cells start as immature cells in the bone marrow and after approximately seven days of maturation are released into the bloodstream.
- 11. Hemoglobin • which helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled. Blood appears red because of the large number of red blood cells, which get their color from the hemoglobin. The percentage of whole blood volume that is made up of red blood cells is called the hematocrit and is a common measure of red blood cell levels.
- 12. White Blood Cells • White blood cells protect the body from infection. They are much fewer in number than red blood cells, accounting for about 1 percent of your blood. • Granulocytes and Agranulocytes • Agranulocytes • Neutrophil, " cell and accounts for 55 to 70 percent of the total white blood cell count. • Eosinophil: Allergic conditions. • Basophili: Allergic Conditions ,Hypersensitive reaction.
- 13. Agranulocytes • Lymphocytes: 40%-60% • Monocytes.’ • bacteria, viruses, and other foreign materials Viral Function , bacteria, viruses, and other, foreign materials.
- 14. Platelets • Fragments of cells. • Platelets help the blood clotting process (or coagulation) by gathering at the site of an injury, sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel, and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur. • This results in the formation of a fibrin clot, which covers the wound and prevents blood from leaking out. Fibrin also forms the initial scaffolding upon which new tissue forms, thus promoting healing.
- 15. Serum and Plasma Serum: • When fibrinogen is removed from plasma as a result of coagulation, such Simply Whole blood when centrifuge without anticoagulants is called serum
- 17. • Anticoagulants: • Anticoagulants are a class of drugs that work to prevent blood coagulation (clotting) EDTA. Heparin Sodium Citrate Acd CPDA
- 18. Collection Of Blood. • Next Topic………..
