maintain homeostasis?
What are the functions of blood?
• Transportation: oxygen, nutrients, wastes, carbon dioxide and hormones
• Defense: against invasion by pathogens
• Regulatory functions: body temperature, water-salt balance and body pH
6.1 Blood: An overview
What is the composition of blood?
• Remember: blood is a fluid connective tissue• Formed elements: produced in red bone marrow
– Red blood cells/erythrocytes (RBC)– White blood cells/leukocytes (WBC)– Platelets
• Plasma: – 91% water and 9% salts (ions) and organic molecules– Plasma proteins are the most abundant molecules
6.1 Blood: An overview
3 major types of plasma proteins
• Albumins – most abundant and important for plasma’s osmotic pressure as well as transportation
• Globulins – also important in transportation
• Fibrinogen – important for the formation of blood clots

• Lack a nucleus and few organelles
• Biconcave shape increases surface area
• Contain about 280 million hemoglobin molecules that bind 3 molecules of O2 each

How is carbon dioxide transported?
• 68% as a bicarbonate ion in the plasma (this conversion takes place in RBC’s)
• 25% in red blood cells
• 7% as carbon dioxide in the plasma

Production of red blood cells
• Produced in the red bone marrow
• Lifespan of about 120 days
• Erythropoietin (EPO) is excreted by kidney cells and moves to red marrow when oxygen levels are low
• Old cells are destroyed by the liver and spleen

What is blood doping?• Any method of increasing the number of RBC’s
to increase athletic performance
• It allows more efficient delivery of oxygen and reducing fatigue
• EPO is injected into a person months prior to an athletic event
• Is thought to be able to cause death due to thickening of blood that leads to a heart attack
6.2 Blood: Red blood cells and transport of oxygen
What disorders involve RBC’s?• Anemia – a condition resulting from too few
RBC’s or hemoglobin that causes a run-down feeling
• Sickle-cell anemia – genetic disease that causes RBC’s to be sickle shaped that tend to rupture
• Hemolytic disease of the newborn – a condition with incompatible blood types that leads to rupturing of blood cells in a baby before and continuing after birth
6.2 Blood: Red blood cells and transport of oxygen
White blood cells
• Derived from red bone marrow• Large blood cells that have a nucleus• Production is regulated by colony-stimulating
factor (CSF)• Can be found in the blood as well as in tissues• Fight infection and an important part of the
immune system• Some live days and others live months or years
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
How are white blood cells categorized?
• Granular – contain noticeable granules, lobed nuclei– Eosinophil– Basophil– Neutrophil
• Agranular – no granules, nonlobed nuclei– Lymphocyte– Monocyte
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
Neutrophils
• About 50-70% of all WBC’s
• Contain a multi-lobed nucleus
• Upon infection they move out of circulation into tissues to use phagocytosis to engulf pathogens
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
Eosinophils
• Small percentage of WBC’s
• Contain a bilobed nucleus
• Many large granules
function in parasitic infections and play a role in allergies
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
Basophil
• Small percentage of WBC’s
• Contain a U-shaped or lobed nucleus
• Release histamine related to allergic reactions
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
Lymphocyte
• About 25-35% of all WBC’s
• Large nucleus that takes up most of the cytoplasm
• Develop into B and T cells that are important in the immune system
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
Monocyte
• Relatively uncommon WBC’s
• Largest WBC with horseshoe-shaped nucleus
• Take residence in tissues and develop into macrophages
• Macrophages use phagocytosis to engulf pathogens
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease

What disorders involve WBC’s?
• Severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) – an inherited disease in which stem cells of WBC’s lack an enzyme that allows them to fight any infection
• Leukemia – groups of cancers that affect white blood cells in which cells proliferate without control
• Infectious mononucleosis – also known as the “kissing disease” occurs when the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects lymphocytes resulting in fatigue, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes
6.3 White blood cells and defense against disease
Platelets• Made of fragments of large cells called
megakaryocytes made in the red bone marrow
• About 200 billion are made per day
• Function in blood clotting
• Blood proteins named thrombin and fibrinogen are important for blood clotting by leading to fibrin threads that catch RBC’s

What disorders involve platelets?
• Thrombocytopenia – a disorder in which the number of platelets is too low due to not enough being made in the bone marrow or the increased breakdown outside the marrow
• Thromboembolism – when a clot forms and breaks off from its site of origin and plugs another vessel
• Hemophilia – a genetic disorder that results in a deficiency of a clotting factor so that when a person damages a blood vessel they are unable to properly clot their blood both internally and externally
6.4 Platelets and blood clotting
Health Focus: What do you need to know about donating blood?
• Donating blood is a safe and sterile procedure• You will donate about a pint of blood• You will replace the plasma in a few hours and the cells in a few
weeks• A few people may feel dizzy afterwards so sit down, eat a snack and
drink some water• Your blood will at least be tested for syphilis, HIV antibodies and
hepatitis and if any of them come back positive you will be notified• Your blood can help save many lives• You should not give blood if:
– You have ever had hepatitis, malaria or been treated for syphilis or gonorrhea within 12 months
– If you’re at risk for having HIV or have AIDS
6.4 Platelets and blood clotting
Terminology to help understand ABO blood typing?
• Antigen - a foreign substance, often a polysaccharide or a protein, that stimulates an immune response
• Antibody – proteins made in response to an antigen in the body and bind to that antigen
• Blood transfusion – transfer of blood from one individual into another individual
6.5 Blood typing and transfusions
What determines the A, B, AB or O blood type?
• Presence and/or absence of 2 blood antigens, A and B
• Type of antibodies present
• Antibodies are only present for those antigens lacking on the cells because these proteins recognize and bind the protein they are named after
6.5 Blood typing and transfusions

Type A blood. Red blood cells have type A surfaceantigens. Plasma has anti-B antibodies.
type A antigen
anti-B antibodies
How can you remember what each blood type means?
• Blood types are named after the protein antigens that are present on the surface of their cell, except type O that entirely lacks A and B proteins
• Blood types only have antibodies to antigens they do not have on the surface of their cells
• For example: Type A blood– Have A proteins on its surface– Has B antibodies
• What can you say about someone with type AB blood?

How can you determine if blood types are compatible for a blood transfusion?
• First, consider the antigens found on the blood transfusion recipient
• Second, consider the antibodies found in the donor blood
• If the antibodies in the donor blood can recognize the antigen on the recipient’s blood then the blood will agglutinate (clump) and cause rejection

Testing your understanding
• Can a person with blood type O accept blood type A without agglutination occurring? Why or why not?
• Why can people with AB blood type accept more blood types than people with type O, A or B?
• Which blood type is able to be used most often as a donor blood type? Why?
6.5 Blood typing and transfusions
What about Rh blood groups?
• The Rh factor is often included when expressing a blood type by naming it positive or negative
• People with the Rh factor are positive and those without it are negative
• Rh antibodies only develop in a person when they are exposed to the Rh factor from another’s blood (usually a fetus)
6.5 Blood typing and transfusions
When is the Rh factor important?
• During pregnancy under these conditions:– Mom: Rh-
– Dad: Rh+
– Fetus: Rh+ (possible with the parents above)
• In this case above some Rh+ blood can leak from the fetus to the mother during birth causing the mother to make Rh antibodies
• This can be a problem if the mother has a second fetus that is Rh+ because she now has antibodies that can leak across the placenta and attack the fetus
• This condition is known as hemolytic disease of the newborn that can lead to retardation and even death
6.5 Blood typing and transfusions
Visualizing how hemolytic disease of the newborn happens?

b. Mother forms anti-Rh antibodies that cross the placenta and attack fetal Rh-positive red blood cells.
a. Fetal Rh-positive red blood cells leak across placenta into mother's blood stream.

How can hemolytic disease of the newborn be prevented?
• Rh- women are given an injection of anti-Rh antibodies no later than 72 hours after birth to an Rh+ baby
• These antibodies attack fetal red blood cells in the mother before the mother’s immune system can make antibodies
• This will have to be repeated if an Rh- mother has another Rh+ baby in case she has later pregnancies
6.5 Blood typing and transfusions
How does the heart, blood vessels, and blood work with other systems to maintain homeostasis?
6.6 Homeostasis
Muscle contraction keeps blood movingthrough the heart and in the blood vessels,particularly the veins.
Muscular System
Blood vessels transport wastes to be excreted.kidneys excrete wastes and help regulatethe water-salt balance necessary to maintainblood volume and pressure and help regulatethe acid-base balance of the blood.
Urinary System
Blood vessels deliver nutrients from thedigestive tract to the cells. The digestive tractprovides the molecules needed for plasmaprotein formation and blood cell formation.the digestive system absorbs the waterneeded to maintain blood pressure and theCa2+ needed for blood clotting.
Digestive System
Heart pumps the blood. Blood vesselstransport oxygen and nutrients to the cellsof all the organs and transport wastes awayfrom them. The blood clots to prevent bloodloss. The cardiovascular system alsospecifically helps the other systems asmentioned below.
Cardiovascular System
All systems of the body work with thecardiovascular system to maintainhomeostasis. These systems inparticular are especially noteworthy.
Nervous System
Nerves help regulate the contraction ofthe heart and the constriction/dilationof blood vessels.
Blood vessels transport hormones fromglands to their target organs. The hormoneepinephrine increases blood pressure;other hormones help regulate bloodvolume and blood cell formation.
Endocrine System
Blood vessels transport gases to andfrom lungs. Gas exchange in lungssupplies oxygen and rids the body ofcarbon dioxide, helping to regulate theacid-base balance of blood. Breathingaids venous return.
Respiratory System
Capillaries are the source of tissue fluid,which becomes lymph. The lymphaticsystem helps maintain blood volume bycollecting excess tissue fluid (i.e., lymph),and returning it via lymphatic vessels tothe cardiovascular veins.
Lymphatic System
Skeletal System
The rib cage protects the heart, red bonemarrow produces blood cells, and bonesstore Ca2+ for blood clotting.
