The three types of cellular elements in the blood are: erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. The plasma is the liquid part of
the blood. The plasma is 90% water.
The hematocrit is the percentage of total blood occupied by formed elements. ~42% in women & ~45% in men. About 99% of
the hematocrit is erythrocytes.
About 1% of cells are leukocytes
Packed cellvolume, orhematocrit

Plasma is a transport medium. It transports inorganic substances such as Na+ & Cl-. Plasma proteins compose 6 to 8 percent of the plasma’s total
weight & have numerous functions.Albumins establish an osmotic gradient between the blood
and interstitial fluid. Other proteins buffer pH changes.The globulins (alpha & beta,) have roles ranging from blood
clotting to transport. The gamma globulins function in immunity as antibodies.Fibrinogen is a key factor in blood clotting.
Other substances carried in the plasma include nutrients, waste products, dissolved gases, and hormones.

Erythrocytes transport oxygen. Erythrocytes are also called red blood cells
(RBCs).They transport O2, to a lesser extent, CO2 and H+ Their concentration is about 5 x 109 per ml
Also read as 5 x 106 / mm3.
8 m
2 m
Its flat, biconcave, disc shape It has a large surface area
& is thin. RBCs lack a nucleus, organelles,
& ribosomes. It is mainly a bag of hemoglobin.Has a lifespan of ~120 days
The plasma membrane of the erythrocyte is flexible allowing it to slide through a capillary.

Hemoglobin is a molecule consisting of two parts.The globin is four, folded polypeptide chains.The heme part is inorganic. Each of its four iron atoms can combine
with one molecule of O2 gas. Hemoglobin can also combine with CO2,
H+, CO, NOHemoglobin can buffer pH by
binding with hydrogen ions.The erythrocyte contains glycolytic enzymes. Its contains carbonic anhydrase: converts CO2 HC03-.

The bone marrow produces erythrocytes in children and adults. An erythrocyte in the circulation cannot reproduce,
as it lacks a nucleus. Erythropoiesis (erythrocyte production) is the
production of new red cells, replacing the worn-out cells in the circulation.
Pluripotent stem cells in the red marrow differentiate into the different types of blood cells.
Regulatory factors act on hemopoietic (blood-producing) red marrow to govern the type and number of cells produced and discharged into the circulation.
![Page 7: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Erythropoiesis is controlled by erythropoietinThe average life span of an erythrocyte is 120 days. The final demise of old erythrocytes is in the spleen. The number of erythrocytes normally remains steady.
Cell production equals cell death. However, a low level of oxygen delivery to the tissues stimulates an
increased rate of erythrocyte production. If O2 delivery to the tissues is decreased, the kidneys detect this and
increase the output of erythropoietin. Erythropoietin induces new RBC production Erythropoietin can be produced synthetically Reticulocytes are released from the bone marrow into the when
circulation erythropoiesis is rapid. Reticulocytes are immature erythrocytes.

Anemia is a reduction below the normal capacity in the blood to carry oxygen. Types of anemia. Nutritional anemia is caused by a dietary deficiency of a factor
needed for erythropoiesis (iron).Pernicious anemia is due to the inability to absorb sufficient vitamin
B 12 from the digestive tract. This deficiency is due to the lack of the intrinsic factor
Aplastic anemia is due to the failure of the bone marrow to make adequate numbers of RBCs.
Renal anemia is due to kidney disease. Hemorrhagic anemia is due to the loss of significant amounts of
blood.Hemolytic anemia is due to the rupture of many RBCs.
Sickle cell cells are fragile

Polycythemia is an excess in circulating erythrocytes. Primary polycythemia is caused by an tumorlike condition in the bone marrow.
Secondary polycythemia is an erythropoietin-induced adaptive mechanism to improve the oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood.

Leukocytes are the mobile units of the body’s immune system.
Leukocytes are also called white blood cells (WBCs)
They function mainly as defense & housekeeping agents They defend against the invasion of pathogens. They identify cancer cells. They remove the body’s litter by phagocytosis.
They can leave the circulation and go to the sites of invasion and tissue damage.
![Page 12: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Leukocytes (WBCs) Leukocytes the only blood components that
are complete cells: Includes:
GranulocytesNeutrophils, Esinophils & Basophils
AgranulocytesLymphocytes
T & B cells as well as NK cellsMonocytes
Can leave capillaries via diapedesis and move through tissue spaces
Make up 1% of the total blood volume (5-10 X 103 cells per mm3)
They are produced from pluripotent stem cells in the bone marrow. These cells can differentiate and proliferate into different cell lines, producing the different kinds of white blood cells.
![Page 13: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Granulocytes Granulocytes – neutrophils, eosinophils, and
basophils Contain cytoplasmic granules that stain
specifically (acidic, basic, or both) with Wright’s stain
Are larger and usually shorter-lived than RBCs Have lobed nuclei Are all phagocytic cells
Normally about two-thirds of the leukocytes in the blood are granulocytes. Their rates change depending on the changing
defense needs of the body.
![Page 14: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Neutrophils have two types of granules that: Take up both acidic and
basic dyes Give the cytoplasm a lilac
color Contain peroxidases,
hydrolytic enzymes, and defensins (antibiotic-like proteins)
Neutrophils are our body’s bacteria slayers
Neutrophils

Eosinophils account for 1–4% of WBCs Have red-staining, bilobed
nuclei connected via a broad band of nuclear material
Have red to crimson (acidophilic) large, coarse, lysosome-like granules
Lead the body’s counterattack against parasitic worms & protozoans
Can induce allergeric response via release of leukotrienes in response to to bound IgE
Eosinophils
![Page 16: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Account for 0.5% of WBCs and:Have U- or S-shaped nuclei
with two or three conspicuous constrictions
Are functionally similar to mast cells—promote inflammation
Have large, purplish-black (basophilic) granules that contain histamineHistamine – inflammatory chemical that
acts as a vasodilator and attracts other WBCs (antihistamines counter this effect)
Basophils
![Page 17: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Agranulocytes – lymphocytes and monocytes: Lack visible cytoplasmic granules Have spherical (lymphocytes) or
kidney-shaped (monocytes) nuclei
Agranulocytes
![Page 18: Physio Chapter 11 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/55cf8fdd550346703ba0a2b3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Account for 25% or more of WBCs and:Have large, dark-purple,
circular nuclei with a thin rim of blue cytoplasm
Most are found mostly enmeshed in lymphoid tissue (some circulate in the blood)
There are two types of lymphocytes: T cells and B cellsT cells direct cell to cell killing and cytokine
production B cells give rise to plasma cells, which
produce antibodies

Platelets (thrombocytes) function in hemostasis. They are cell fragments derived from
megakaryocytes. They average 2.5 x 108 per ml. Their range is
also reported as 1.5 – 3.5 x 105 per cubic mm. They remain functional for about 10 days. The hormone thrombopoietin increases the
number of megakaryocytes. Their overall production is not well understood.

Hemostasis prevents blood loss from damaged blood vessels.The first two steps to stop escaping blood from a vessel
are:1) vascular spasm - This reduces blood flow through a
damaged vessel. 2) platelet plugging - An aggregation of platelets forms a
plug. Platelets aggregate on contact with exposed collagen in
the damaged wall of a vessel. The platelet plug seals a break in a vessel.
ADP stimulates platelets to become sticky. Other substances from the endothelium of a blood vessel
inhibit platelet aggregation, keeping it open.

The third step to block escaping blood from an injured blood vessel is clot formation. This reinforces the platelet plug and converts
the blood to a gel in the area of the vessel damage.
The ultimate step in clot formation is the conversion of fibrinogen (large and soluble plasma protein) into fibrin (thread-like protein). This conversion is catalyzed by thrombin.
Fibrin threads trap RBCs, forming a clot. This clot is a meshwork strengthened by
cross-linkage from factor XIII.

Other facts on blood clotting include: Clot retraction occurs after the clot is formed. The clot is not a permanent solution for injury to a vessel.
Fibroblasts form scar tissue for vessel repair. The clot is slowly dissolved by the enzyme plasmin.
It is made in the liver from plasminogen. Macrophages remove the products of clot dissolution. tPA prevents inappropriate clot formation. Inappropriate clotting can produce a thromboembolism. Causes of this include roughened surfaces on a vessel. Hemophilia is a condition responsible for excessive bleeding. It is due to a deficiency of factor VIII
